Business communication involves the sharing of information within and outside an organization for commercial benefit. It can be defined as relaying information within a business by its people. Effective communication is vital for organizations as it allows for the exchange of information, opinions, plans and decisions between individuals. The basic process of communication involves a sender encoding a message and transmitting it through a channel to a receiver who decodes and provides feedback. Verbal communication can be oral, such as speeches and discussions, or written, like emails and letters. Non-verbal communication conveys messages through body language, eye contact, gestures and other unspoken means.

12. PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION
The basic process of communication begins when a fact or idea is observed
by one person. That person (the sender) may decide to translate the
observation into a message, and then transmit the message through some
communication medium to another person (the receiver). The receiver then
must interpret the message and provide feedback to the sender indicating that
the message has been understood and appropriate action taken.
Transmission of a message from a sender to receiver in an understandable
manner.
Communication is a process where
a person or group share information to get a connected.

13. This statement Cannot be considered as a proper communication, because here it
is lacking in feedback stage and what is understanding by the receiver exact
meaning cannot be measure.

14. PROCESS

15. (1) Sender:
The person who intends to convey the message with the intention of passing
information and ideas to others is known as sender.
(2) Ideas:
This is the subject matter of the communication. This may be an opinion,
attitude, feelings, views, orders, or suggestions.
(3) Encoding:
Since the subject matter of communication is theoretical and intangible, its
further passing requires use of certain symbols such as words, actions or
pictures etc. Conversion of subject matter into these symbols is the process
of encoding.
(4) Communication Channel:
The person who is interested in communicating has to choose the channel
for sending the required information, ideas etc. This information is
transmitted to the receiver through certain channels which may be either
formal(Classroom lecture, presentation at business meeting) or
informal(Telephone, F2F Conversation)

16. 5) Receiver:
Receiver is the person who receives the message or for whom the message is
meant for. It is the receiver who tries to understand the message in the best
possible manner in achieving the desired objectives.
(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.
(7) Feedback:
Feedback is the process of ensuring that the receiver has received the message
and understood in the same sense as sender meant it.

27. Non Verbal Communication
Non-verbal Communication has been defined as communication without
words. It includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes,
touching, and tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as
dress, posture and distance between two or more people.
The implication being that if the meaning of every nod, eye movement, and
gesture were known, the real feelings and intentions of a person would be
understood.
Unfortunately interpreting non-verbal communication is not that simple.
non-verbal communication is not a language with a fixed meaning.
It is influenced and driven by the context in which it occurs. This includes both
the place and the people concerned, as well as the culture.

28. The thumbs-up gesture, which generally signals approval in English-
speaking countries, is considered offensive in other countries, including
apparently Greece, Italy and some parts of the Middle East.
Making a circle with your thumb and forefinger like this means OK in
Western cultures. It is used in particular by divers in this way. In Japan,
however, it is reputedly the sign for money, and in Arabic countries, it is a
threat.

29. There are many different types of non-verbal
communication.
1) Body Movements (Kinesics):- for example, hand gestures or nodding or
shaking the head; Posture, or how you stand or sit, whether your arms are
crossed,
2) Eye Contact:- where the amount of eye contact often determines the level of
trust and trustworthiness
3) Para-language:- or aspects of the voice apart from speech, such as pitch,
tone, and speed of speaking
4) Closeness or Personal Space (Proxemics):-which determines the level
of intimacy
5) Facial Expressions:- including smiling, frowning and even blinking
6) Physiological Changes:-for example, sweating or blinking more when
nervous.
