Business on a global scale: web browsers, software, communication platforms, outsourcing/offshoring. Diverse employee base: having people from various age, sex, race, gender, groups is a advantage. Teamwork environments: collaboration is more common now then ever before. Web, 3. 0, apps, and social media, apps. Communication: we use symbols (words, images, and gestures) to create meaning, we share stories to influence the world around us, a transactional process involving the meaningful exchange of information. Communication theory: we communicate without thinking critically about it, what happens when we communicate, describes why certain symbols can mean different things, For communication to occur there must be a source and a destination, someone from one end to launch the message and the other end to receive or respond to it. Channel: the medium by which the message is physically transmitted e. g. word, letter, memo, report, and computer.
