The message is the most important aspect of communication,
conveying the intended information. Ideas, feelings, research findings,
recommendations, instructions, and even organisational policies are all
examples of messages that can be included in corporate communication.
The encoded communication travels through multiple channels
to reach its destination. Business communication channels may include
face-to-face encounters, emails, memos, presentations, virtual platforms, and
social media, each chosen based on its suitability and efficacy in reaching the
desired audience.
The Reciever
The recipient of a message is crucial to communication. The
receiver, whether a colleague, boss, client, or partner, must be open to
incoming communication and capable of decoding and interpreting the information
sent.
The act of decoding involves the receiver's
cognitive process of interpreting the encoded information into a meaningful
understanding once they have received it. Successful decoding depends on the
recipient's capacity to understand and place the message in the context of
their own experience.
Feedback
Communication is an interactive process that
involves constant information exchange. Feedback is the technique by which the
recipient answers to the sender, providing insights, clarifications, or
reactions depending on their understanding of the communication. This discourse
fosters mutual understanding, alignment, and clarity.
Noise can disrupt communication and prevent messages from being transmitted and received smoothly. Noise can take many forms, including external distractions, semantic ambiguity, cultural differences, and even technology glitches, all of which can impede communication clarity and effectiveness.
