Solution
Communication is the conveying of a message to a person or masses through words, signs or
gestures. The exchanging of thoughts, ideas and information in a network is called
communication. In terms of organization, proper communication holds an important role for
smooth and effective results. There are certain channels through which commuication is done
from person to person. Channel can be defined as the source through which a message is
tranferred from the giver to the reciever. Selection of the channel depends upon the nature of the
message to be communicated and the receiver to whom the message is communicated. The
channels of communication could be verbally spoken words, words in written, electronic media
and non verbally transferred message through signs or body language. These main channels of
communication can further be classified into small channels. Like words in written can be in
form of letters, emails, posters, newspapers, etc. Electronic media, which is the most common
channel of communication includes TV, radio, telephone, internet.
The barriers of communication are the obstacles that come in an effective communication
between the giver and reciever and cause the message to be conveyed wrongly or incompletly.
The main barriers to an effective communication can be as follows:
- Terms used in language of communication are complicated and not in simple and
understandable vocabulary.
- Distraction due to lack of interest or irrelevance.
- Physical disabilities of the communicator or reciever of the message.
- setting a perception or viewpoint from before.
- difference of language or accent and cultures
- Building up expectations to what they want to convey or want to hear.
- Physical gestures and signs can be misunderstood or not conveyed in the correct manner.
- Lack of knowledge or overloaded knowledge
- lack of communication skills.
- distractions through noise.
- wrong mode of communication
The barriers of communications once identifiid have to be erased for deriving results from the
message communicated. The methods to overcome the barriers could be as follows:

2. - Clarity of the message to the communicator- The communicator himself should be clear about
the message he wants to convey to the reciever. And accordingly choose the correct channel and
method in which the message can be transfered in the most effecient way.
- Understanding the reciever's nature and need- It can to be identified that what is the best way
in which the reciever of the message will understand the message clearly and then forming the
mode and method to communicate the message.
- Frame the message with consistency- The message should be framed in such a way that is
should be aligned with the policies of the organization.
- feedback from the reciever- Once the message is communicated a feedback should be asked
from the reciever so that the effectiveness of the transfer of message can be checked.
- Density of the communication- How much of the message is communicated at a particular time
should be checked. As overloading the message can cause confusions and complications in
understanding.
- Checking the noise barrier- How much of noise is hurdling the message from being conveyed
properly has to be checked from time to time.
- Simple channel and short chain of communication- the channel used for the particular message
should be appropriately decided by the communicator and the chain through which the message
passes should be short if not direct.
