continuous process. Pre requisite of communication is a message. This message
must be conveyed through some medium. It essential that is message must be
understood by the recipient in same terms as intended by the sender. He must
respond within a time frame. Thus communication is two way process and is
incompleted without feedback.

4. COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATION PROCESS
• Sender: sender is person who sends the message. The sender make use of symbols to
convey the message and produce the required response . The verbal and nonverbal
symbols chosen are essential in ascertaining interpretation of the message by the
recipient in the same terms as intended by the sender.
• Message :Message is a key idea that the sender wants to communicate.
Communication process begins with the deciding about the message to be conveyed.
It must be ensured that the main objective of the message is clear.
• Encoding :Since the subject matter of the communication is theoretical and intangible,
further passing requires use of certain symbols such as works, actions or pictures etc.
Conversion of subject matter in to these symbols is the process of encoding.

5. • Medium : Medium is a means used to exchange or transmitter the message. The
sender must chose an appropriate area for transmitting the message else the
message might not be conveyed to the desired recipient. The choice of
appropriate medium of communication is essential for making the message
effective and correctly interpreted by recipient .
• Recipient :Recipient is the person for whom the message intended or targeted
the degree to which the decoder understands the message is dependend upon
various factors such as knowledge of recipient, there responsiveness to the
message, and the reliance of encoder on decoder.

6. • Decoding :The person who receives the message or symbol from the
communicator tries to convert the same in such a way so that he may extract its
meaning to his complete understanding.
• Feefback: Feedback is the main component of communication process as it
permits the centre to analyse the efficacy of the message. It helps the sender in
confirm the correct interpretation of message by the decoder. Feedback may be
verbal or non verbal. It make take written form also in form of memos, reports
etc.
