Reflection On Business Communication

Communication is one of the most important parts of any relationship. Business relationships are no different. Having effective business communication or not having effective business communication can positively or negatively impact the success of an entire organization. Unfortunately, there are many barriers that can obstruct effective business communication. Those barriers come in four different categories. Those categories are personal barriers, physical barriers, sematic barriers and process barriers. A manager must know how to work around the communication barriers and use his or her communication skills to keep business operations going smoothly and to make improvements to the

Communication is define as “Two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not only exchange (encode-decode) information, news, ideas and feelings but also create and share meaning. In general, communication is a means of connecting people or places. In business, it is a key function of management--an organization cannot operate without communication between levels, departments and employees”

In conclusion, managing communication in the organisation is important so as to perform basic functions. Managers should be effective communicators with high levels of fluency and professionalism and must be aware of the communication cycle to achieve team goals. Effective communication within the workplace like in the company’s technical office keeps the team involved in the delivery of customer focus which increases commitment to the organisation and make for a better relationship and understanding within the team. An effective communicator understands the communication process using the appropriate communication channel such as verbal, non-verbal or written communication. The correct use of the process helps to uncover barriers and determine effective preventive steps to avoid those barriers. Furthermore, within the communication cycle, it is essential to get regular feedback, which also helps evaluate and improve the communication process which in turn can be used as a basis to develop personal development plans, identify communication strength and weaknesses

Communication is one if not the most important aspect of any organization. If a leader is not a effective communicator employees will have a hard time understanding the mission or goal of the organization. This will result in high turnover and eventual failure of a business. There are several different types of communication I will be using the two that most reflect me and my experiences.

This report will investigate the communication used within the business ‘Zone’ investigated in the “Risking it All” episode which follows Brad Woolford on his risky business venture to open the busiest gym in the area with a lack of experience marketing and running a business.

Business communication requires avenues through which leaders, management, and workers communicate. It also requires the communication process between an organization and its partners, as well as the customers. In business communication, it is vital for an organization to develop a communication channel that is not only efficient and effective, but one that relays positive messages. Positive messages are crucial in developing good relationships with the employees, business partners, and customers. Research shows that we actually comprehend a positive statement 30 to 40 percent faster than we do a negative statement, our mind literally has to unscramble negative messages to determine the meaning (Simoneaux &Stroud, 2014). There is a power in using positive messages, a strategy in building relationships and producing positive results. When using positive messaging it is beneficial to use the 5 S’s, and goodwill messaging. The 5 S’s are; selfless, specific, sincere, spontaneous, and short. This paper looks into the effects of positive messaging, with an emphasis on goodwill messages, and the 5 S’s.

On the other hand, the potential for misinterpretation is growing with the use of electronic devices. “Most business communication is now done via e-mails, text, instant messaging, intranets, blogs, websites and other technology-enabled media-sans body language”-opens the door for misconception (Tardanico). In this fast-paced world we live in, people are stressed, rushed, making deadlines and frequently do not take the time to consider the possible irritants of their writing. They just hit send and go.

Jordan Belfort is the notorious 1990’s stockbroker who saw himself earning fifty million dollars a year operating a penny stock boiler room from his Stratton Oakmont, Inc. brokerage firm. Corrupted by drugs, money, and sex he went from being an innocent twenty – two year old on the fringe of a new life to manipulating the system in his infamous “pump and dump” scheme. As a stock swindler, he would motivate his young brokers through insane presentations to rile them up as they defrauded investors with duplicitous stock sales. Toward the end of this debauchery tale he was convicted for securities fraud and money laundering for which he was sentenced to twenty – two months in prison as well as recompensing two – hundred million in restitution to any swindled stock buyers of his brokerage firm (A&E Networks Television). Though his lavish spending and berserk party lifestyle was consumed by excessive greed, he displayed both positive and negative aspects of business communications.

Communication process involves exchange of information between the sender and the receiver. The sender transmits a message while the receiver decodes the message sent (Innis, 1950). The key elements of myriad communication models are: the sender, the receiver, the message, the channel or the medium through which the message is conveyed, the context, noise/interference, and feedback (Dimbleby & Burton, 1998). Communication will be considered effective when the receiver fully understands the sender's message.

Business communication involves a range of matters, and employees will be periodically trained in all manners that are important to effective and powerful intra-and inter-business communication.

Communication is any behaviour, verbal or nonverbal, that is perceived by another. (Dwyer 2006) business communications are purposive interchanges of ideas, opinions, information, instructions and the like, presented personally or impersonally by symbol or signal as to attain the goods of organization. (Rosenblatt, Cheatham & Watt 1992) Today, the organization is growing more complex and the business is growing larger, because of this, the communication is necessary for passing information between people working in the same organization, it provides the critical link between core functions. As Robert Kent, former dean of Harvard Business School has said, “In

I have been contacted by Joseph Keegan LTD to help train their staff in regard to business communication. I will produce a fact sheet below which the staff at Joseph Keegan’s LTD can look at and learn about the different types of business communication.

Business communication is the art of communicating in a professional environment. It is both an art and science and the life’s blood of any successful corporation. The premise of business communication is that the writer is always speaking with the audience in mind. She has to make the content relevant and usable to the reader or it is not effective. Unlike other forms of writing, such as academic writing which has a captive audience, business writing is always a negotiation with a fluid audience that has the ability to come or go as they please. It is this dynamic fluidity that draws the Millennial Generation to the field of business communication in droves. The Millennial Generation is defined as “those born in the early 1981 to 1996” (Millennials in Adulthood). The digitized world of the Millennials has also transformed the field of business communication. The Millennials have influenced workplace communication by creating continuously connected work teams, collaboration without boarders, and greater diversity in employee engagement. The intertwining of social media, Millennials, and workplace communication has made the workplace a more flexible and productive environment.

More often than not, business depends on communication. A good communication trend enhances understanding in businesses. People must communicate to plan products and services; hire, train, and motivate workers; coordinate manufacturing and delivery; persuade customers to buy; and bill them for the sale.
