Document Summary
Definition: transmission of information from one individual and or group to another. Need to find effective structure and organization to convey messages. Sender = participant who has an idea to communicate in a message. Message =oral, written or non verbal transmitted by sender to receiver. Receiver= audience who extracts the meaning and facts to it. Feedback =response of the receiver showing the message was understand. Both should use the same language and codes for the messages to be understood. Messages go wrong because they are only partially understood. To overcome barriers, realize that communication is not perfect. Denotative: literal, dictionary definition and uses *use mostly. Connotative: layers added to denotative from personal reaction and judgment *use with intention. Problems magnified: one on one plus organizational layers. Business needs dree flow of information to be efficient: Group barriers also interfere cvaused by differing perception. Because mental filters differ and barriers interfere, meanings send may differ from meaning received.
