occurs in a two way, face to face situation where both verbal and non verbal symbols and
languages are apparent to both parties, which can be called level 1 communication. Moreover the

face verbal situation occurs. Both in these two types of communication, instant feedback are
available. As a result, the company can gradually learn about what subscriber wants from the
company and can fill its subscribers demands, expectations and solve problems as per as its
ability. However, after learning about the expectation, demand and problem of subscriber,

2 2 Communication Methods In The Organization:
To achieve its operating goals, Grameen phone’s needs to direct and coordinate its
interdependence of units and individuals toward a desired point. As a result, a formal
organization structure results from efforts to achieve coordination. On the other side,
coordination results from effective communication and well organized programs or systems.
There is a formalized hierarchy of Grameen phone has been shown below.
Here, organization chart defines the scope of the organization. The people generally occupy roles
and perform functions in all those spaces in the organization chart, the pictured structure could
seldom be considered a final answer. However, to conduct function, the officials of GP have to
contact with each other. Generally, GP believes in informal communication when they usually
talk to each other. But, to submit a proposal, report to their management, they prefer to email
communication better. They do not submit these things by direct handing over. On the other side,
their communication in mobile by colleague to colleague is free as they have their own company
mobile sim.

2 3 Communication Flow In The GP
The flow of communication within the organization may be upward, downward, or horizontally
directed. Grameen Phone Limited has downward and upward communication flows which are
following:
Downward Communication:
Downward communication is that form superior to subscriber-from boss to employee, and from
policy maker to operating personnel. Five elements of downward communication are following:
Job instruction: Teaching new or current employees how to do a particular task.
Rationale: The justification for the organization and its goals; how a particular function fits into
the total organization.
Information: Orientation to the company – its rules, practices, procedures, and history.
Feedback about job performance: Supervisors evaluation or appraisa lof employee
performance.
Ideology: The effort to convey to and install in employees a degree of enthusiasm, loyalty, or
support for the organization.
This flow, of course, related to the hierarchical structure of the organization.
Upward Communication:
When management requests information from lower organizational levels, the resulting
information becomes feedback to the request. This is called upward communication. This
communication keeps management informed about the feelings of subordinates, helps

even more effective downward communication.
Basically these two types of communication flow are used by the Grameen phone.
