Course description: Working together: business communications

Effective communication is an essential part of a smoothly running business organisation. Communication involves the transmission of information

from a source (or a number of sources) to receivers. The information is communicated in the form of a message. In the modern organisation there

will be multi-channel flows of communication. For example a customer may request a new part from a supplier, with information on how to use that

part in a piece of equipment. The supplier will then communicate with the customer setting out instructions for using the part, as well as sending a

delivery note, invoice, and further sales literature. Increasingly these interactions will be carried out by electronic media such as through a sales

website, e-mail communications and other means.

The effectiveness of communications depends on:

1.The clarity of the message.

2.The quality of the medium used to transmit the message. The medium is the means of communicating e.g. e-mail, telephone, letter, etc.

3.Any distracting 'noise' that prevent the message from effectively getting through. For example, if the recipient receives lots of e-mail messages,

they may fail to give proper attention to the sender's message.

3.The ability of the receiver to decode the message. For example, they may not be able to understand the instructions given.

There are two main forms of business communication:

1.Internal communication, i.e. communication within the business.

2.External communication, i.e. communication outside
