There are 5 main types of communication flows in an organization: downward, upward, lateral/horizontal, external, and diagonal. Downward communication flows from higher to lower levels and is used by managers to transmit work information to employees. Upward communication flows from lower to higher levels and provides feedback and allows employees to share ideas.

Diagonal communication bypasses vertical/horizontal channels and allows direct communication between different departments.
The document discusses various aspects of organizational communication including formal and informal communication networks. It describes the formal network as the main channels of operational communication that handle bulk of communication needed to operate an organization. The informal "grapevine" network runs parallel to the formal network and comprises personal communication relating to the company's operations.
