Ch8 small group communication power point
This document defines and describes small group communication. Small group communication involves interaction between 3 to 9 people working interdependently. There are two main types of small groups: assigned groups where members are appointed, and emergent groups that are self-formed. A group develops a unique culture over time through norms, roles, and climate. Norms are the rules that guide behavior, roles are patterns of interaction either formal/positional or informal/behavioral, and climate is the emotional atmosphere created by trust, support, and cohesiveness among members. However, high cohesiveness can lead to "groupthink" where critical analysis is replaced with agreement at the expense of effective decision making.
Communication Networks
This document discusses formal and informal communication networks. Formal networks follow rigid vertical authority chains, are task-focused, and structure most modern organizations. Informal networks are free-flowing, can skip levels, satisfy social needs, and are more trusted by employees. Both network types are important for groups to function, with informal networks existing alongside and within formal structures. Understanding different network types facilitates effective communication within organizations.
Public opinion and Persuasion
Public opinion is shaped by opinion leaders who influence others. Opinion leaders are knowledgeable experts on specific issues who help frame debates. There are two types of public - the attentive public who rely on opinion leaders, and the inattentive public. Individuals adopt new ideas through a five stage process of awareness, interest, trial, evaluation, and adoption. Persuasion involves transmitting messages to induce attitude or behavior change while allowing some free choice. Effective persuasion considers audience analysis, appealing to self-interest, audience participation, clear calls to action, source credibility, message clarity, context, and appropriate communication channels.
Open system model of public relations
Systems theory describes organizations as sets of interconnected subsystems that both affect and are affected by their external environment. An open system organization is responsive to this environment, continually adjusting to maintain balance, with permeable boundaries between internal and external influences. In contrast, a closed system has impermeable boundaries and does not adapt to changes, focusing only on internal goals. For public relations, an open systems approach is preferable, as it allows an organization to proactively monitor, anticipate, and respond to feedback from external publics.

Small Group Communication
The document discusses key aspects of small group communication including definitions, types, development, decision-making processes, leadership, roles, and conflict management. Small groups are defined as having 3-12 members who interact and work towards common goals. Groups can be task-oriented like work teams or more social in nature. Models of group development generally involve stages like forming, storming, norming, and performing. Effective decision-making uses techniques like brainstorming, reflective thinking, and the nominal group process. Leadership, roles, and managing conflict constructively are important for group functioning.
Crisis Management
The document discusses crisis management strategies and provides case studies of how Odwalla and Exxon responded to crises.
Odwalla had an E. coli outbreak in its apple juice that sickened customers. The company immediately recalled all potentially contaminated products, took responsibility, communicated regularly with employees and the public, and implemented new safety processes. It recovered quickly with minimal long-term effects.
Exxon had an oil tanker run aground and spill oil in Alaska. The company was slow to respond, did not communicate openly, and blamed media. It failed to show it had systems to handle the crisis or commitment to preventing future issues. Exxon lost market share and reputation as a result.

organization structure
The document discusses different types of organization structures including functional, divisional, matrix, and emerging structures. It provides details on each structure type, describing their advantages and disadvantages. For example, it notes that a functional structure groups positions by specialized function which allows for expertise development but slow response to multi-function problems. A divisional structure groups positions by products/markets, enabling fast response to change but potential resource duplication.
Presentation on formal vs informal communication
Communication is the sharing of information between individuals or groups to reach a common understanding. There are formal and informal styles of communication that are each appropriate depending on the situation. Formal communication follows official rules and includes downward, upward, and horizontal messages within an organization. Informal communication occurs spontaneously between people of varying statuses and helps indicate employee concerns and satisfaction. Both formal and informal communication are necessary for effective information sharing in organizations.
INTERPERSONAL AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS- C.8
This document defines small groups and discusses their key elements and characteristics. A small group is defined as a few people who engage in face-to-face communication over time to accomplish shared goals in an interdependent manner. Small groups have directly observable characteristics like interaction between members, a size of 3-7 people, scheduled meeting times, an in-person meeting space, and a clear leadership structure. They also have indirectly observable characteristics like interdependence among members, clearly defined common goals, and group norms regarding standards of behavior.
Communication Management
This document discusses project communication management. It covers topics such as communication requirements analysis, communication methods, the basic communication model, and the communication management plan. Some key points:
- Project communication management includes planning, distributing, managing, monitoring and controlling all project information.
- The communication management plan details how project communications will be planned, structured, monitored and controlled. It identifies stakeholders, information to be communicated, methods, responsibilities and other details.
- Effective communication requires identifying information needs, the appropriate method based on factors like urgency and confidentiality, and ensuring the right people receive the right information.
- The basic communication model shows how a message is encoded, transmitted through a medium, decoded, and feedback
Elements of communication
This power-point serves in assisting individuals in identifying the elements of Communication and gaining a better understanding of each.
Process of communication
Communication is the process of transmitting information from one person to another. It involves the transmission of a message from a sender to a receiver through an agreed-upon channel. The communication process consists of a sender encoding a message and selecting a channel to transmit it through, the receiver decoding the message, and the receiver providing feedback to the sender. Effective communication is a two-way process of sharing information and building understanding between individuals.
Processes
Organizations are processes rather than structures. They consist of a series of linked events like meetings, communication, and conflict that occur within physical spaces, but the organization itself is not a real substance that can be found. An organization is better thought of as organizing - an ongoing process of activities, relationships, and networks with managers facilitating connections rather than positioned above the organization.
Communication
The document discusses communication in organizations. It defines communication and lists objectives like improving interpersonal communication and discussing the role of telecommunications in business. It describes the basic communication process, barriers to communication like perception and semantics, and ways to improve interpersonal communication such as listening actively and avoiding defensiveness. It also outlines formal and informal organizational communication structures, potential barriers, and methods for improving communication flow both within and between organizations using technologies like email, videoconferencing, telecommuting and internet-based options.
Formal and informal channels of communication
The document discusses formal and informal channels of communication within organizations. Formal communication refers to sharing official information according to prescribed patterns depicted in organizational charts, flowing downwards with instructions and upwards with reports. Informal communication deviates from formal structures through the grapevine, which spreads unofficial information quickly but inaccurately. While the grapevine cannot be controlled, organizations can address it by providing open communication and information to employees to prevent rumors. Both formal and informal channels are important for information sharing and coordination in organizations.
Org COm- small group communication
The document discusses small group communication and formation. It describes that a group is a collection of people with a common purpose or goal who communicate with each other. There are different types of groups such as formal, advisory, creative, and support groups. The document also outlines several models of group development stages including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Additional stages discussed are orientation, conflict, emergence, and reinforcement. Key features of groups mentioned are togetherness, expectations about performance, and developing group norms and culture.

Formal and informal communication
The document discusses formal and informal communication networks in organizations. It identifies techniques to encourage informal communication such as emphasizing informality, maintaining intense communication, and providing physical support. It also discusses the different directions of communication - upward, downward, and horizontal. The HR department establishes internal communication policies and provides an employee handbook to communicate policies, rules, benefits and ensure consistent application of HRM policies. Key aspects of communication are also defined, including exchange of information, noise, feedback, encoding and decoding.
Innovation diffusion (Everett Rogers)
Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory proposes that an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system. The key elements are the innovation itself, communication channels, time, and the social system. Innovations that are perceived as having greater relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, observability, and less complexity will be adopted more rapidly. Early diffusion research studies investigated the spread of hybrid corn and new drugs. Subsequent studies examined opinion leadership, communication channels, and the five stages of the innovation-decision process: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Criticisms of diffusion research include a pro-innovation bias and issues of equality in diffusion.
Internal communication
Internal communication refers to communication within an organization between employees. It has evolved over three stages from focusing on individuals and camaraderie, to delivering news and facts, to now implementing strategy and strategic objectives. Good internal communication is measurable, two-way, accurate, honest, inclusive, comprehensible, timely, and competently prepared and delivered. Conducting a communication audit is an important tool for organizations to build an effective internal communication strategy by surveying management and employees, assessing discrepancies, and providing recommendations. The goal of internal communication is to ensure information is understood by employees in supporting the implementation of the organization's overall strategy.
Change model by Kurt Lewins- Jay Shah
Kurt Lewin's three-stage model of change is summarized as:
1) The "unfreezing" stage where the Indian economy in 1991 was opened up, reforms were introduced, and people experienced sudden change.
2) The "change" stage where initially businesses were bewildered but eventually started understanding and accepting reforms like encouraging private investment and disinvestment in public sectors.
3) The "refreezing" stage where supportive policies reduced recession momentum and encouraged growth through policies like Make in India, formulating laws, and less restrictions.
communication skills
The document discusses key concepts in communication including encoding, channels, decoding, feedback, and noise. It defines communication as the process of sending and receiving messages between a sender and receiver. Successful communication is characterized by qualities like candidness, clarity, completeness, conciseness, concreteness, correctness, and courtesy. Communication models show the encoding and decoding process and how messages are transmitted through channels. Barriers to effective communication and how to overcome them are also examined.
Group communication (revised 2.0)
The document discusses key aspects of small group communication. It defines a group as a collection of usually 3-9 interdependent members working toward a common goal. Characteristics of effective groups include clear purpose, participation, listening skills, and assessing their own function. Group decision making has advantages like diverse ideas but also disadvantages like some members dominating. The document outlines methods of decision making, styles of leadership, and strategies for resolving conflicts constructively.
POM_COMMUNICATION IN ORGANISATION
The document discusses different aspects of communication in organizations. It defines communication and describes how effective communication can benefit an organization.

Small group communication
Small group communication is defined as communication between 3 to 15 members who freely communicate with each other and share common goals and purposes. The key features of small groups include their size, members, tasks, and norms. There are also primary types of small groups such as social groups, self-help groups, learning groups, service groups, public groups, work groups, and virtual groups. Small group communication can involve different types of talk centered around tasks, roles, identity, and interpersonal exchanges.
PR Theory
This document provides an overview of several theories related to public relations and communication including: systems theory which discusses how organizations and their environments depend on each other; situational theory which examines how problem recognition, constraint recognition, and involvement impact engagement; social exchange theory which explores how individuals choose strategies based on perceived costs and benefits; diffusion of innovation which explains how new ideas and behaviors are adopted; uses and gratifications theory which considers how and why people use media; and social learning theory which discusses how people learn from examples in mass media and from other people.

Managing a small team vs a Large Team
The document discusses the differences between managing small teams versus large teams. It notes that while the core skills of a manager are the same, there are differences in how teams operate and how managers should communicate. For small teams, managers should thoroughly research topics, present justifications for decisions, and limit feedback sessions to prevent irrelevant responses. For large teams, managers need to deliver consistent messages to all members at once, reinforce communications in smaller groups, and use language that encourages discussion rather than intimidation. Effective management of both large and small teams requires understanding team dynamics and tailoring communication styles appropriately.

Group Comm - Revised.pptx
Small groups are effective for problem solving because they allow for interaction between members and bring together diverse knowledge and perspectives. Effective small groups have 5 or fewer interdependent members working toward a common goal through face-to-face interaction where members take on task and maintenance roles. While group decisions can produce higher quality solutions through greater input and commitment, they also take more time and may result in unclear accountability or undue conformity. Effective communication strategies for teams include regular meetings, transparency, respecting all members, and using online collaboration tools. Challenges that can arise in group work include micromanagement, coordination costs, difficultly getting started, free riding, domineering personalities, conflicts, knowledge gaps, and potential for gender bias.
Success Plan
This document outlines a success plan with the following key elements:
1. Define goals and commit to building a list of at least 200 prospects, categorizing them and adding to the list daily.
2. Contact the top 30 prospects to set up presentations, introduce the business opportunity, and follow up within 48 hours.
3. Implement an immediate action plan for new members to contact their top 30 prospects right away and provide materials and support.
4. Integrate new members into the group through regular meetings and communication of the group's vision and plan to create unity.

TEAM BUILDING
Group: A collection of two or more interacting individuals with a stable pattern of relationships among them, who share common goals and who perceive themselves as being a group.
Essentials of a groupSocial interactionStable structureCommon interestsPerceive themselves as part of group
Team: A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.
This definition highlights the essentials of a team or in other words the team basics. Here the focus or emphasis is on three characteristics – small number, complementary skills and commitment. These are what basically differentiates a team from a group and makes a team something much more productive and result oriented than a group. We shall analyze them:Small number – five to ten peopleComplementary skills – appropriate balance or mix of skills and traitsCommitment to a common purpose and performance goals – specific performance goals are an integral part of the purpose.Commitment to a common approach – team members must agree on who will do a particular job & develop a common approach.Mutual accountability – at its core, team accountability is about the sincere promises we make to others & ourselves – commitment & trust.

Preparing for the Future: Tools for Early Career Executive Directors/Assistan...
NADO’s research has shown a trend in executive director retirements within Regional Development Organizations (RDOs), which is not too surprising given the sheer number of baby boomers that are considering retirement in the near future. As today’s executive directors start to plan for their departure from their organization, there is a class of deputy or assistant directors in the wings ready to take on the challenges and opportunities that leading an RDO presents. This presentation by Dr. Monica Scamardo at the 2015 NADO Annual Training Conference will help emerging executive directors (those that have held the position for three years or less as well as those deputies that are gaining the needed experience to run an RDO) identify the characteristics of a strong and successful executive director and help them develop a strategy for assuring they become one in the future.
Interpersonal and group process interventions
The document discusses four main interpersonal and group process interventions: T-groups, process consultation, third-party intervention, and team building. T-groups are designed to provide experiential learning about group dynamics, leadership, and interpersonal relations. Process consultation helps groups assess and improve processes like communication and decision-making to help themselves. Third-party intervention addresses conflicts between two or more people. Team building examines elements of work groups like goals, structure, and relationships to improve effectiveness.

Group discussion is a method used to assess students' personalities and suitability for jobs. It involves discussing a topic among a group of people. Good group discussion requires maintaining cordiality, free expression of thoughts and opinions, and not interfering once the topic is announced. It helps stimulate ideas beyond any individual's knowledge. Benefits include exposing language, academic, leadership and teamwork skills. Participants should stay on topic, listen actively, get their turn to speak, and be considerate of others. Disruptions can be prevented by listening to understand others, staying in the chairperson role without inserting opinions, and not becoming defensive if criticized.

Procedures for building a productive team are outlined.
My five minutes bell
Meetings are important for communication within organizations and allowing teams to get work done. To ensure meetings are effective, the agenda, timing, and next steps must be clear.
