This document discusses different types of communication networks within an organization:
1. Internal communication occurs within the organization, such as between a teacher and student.
2. External communication links the organization to outside entities, like between heads of two organizations.
3. Vertical communication flows up and down the hierarchy, including downward communication from managers to subordinates and upward communication with feedback from subordinates to managers.
4. Horizontal communication occurs between peers of equal rank in an organization.
5. Diagonal communication combines vertical and horizontal flows across different levels and departments in an organization.
Communication is the intercourse by words, letters, symbols or messages, and is a way that one organization member shares meaning and understanding with another - Koontz and O'Donnell.
“Communication is an exchange of ideas, facts, opinions or emotions by two or more persons” – Newman and Summer.
Barriers to effective communication can retard or distort the message and intention of the message being conveyed which may result in failure of the communication process or an effect that is undesirable.

Understanding Social Communication at Workplacepallavi75
Communication is a two way process instead of what most people make of it, that is outgoing for the extroverts and the incoming for the introverts and the workplace consists of both types of personality types. Hence , the effective communication should involve the maximum participation between everyone. It should have an optimum balance of the downward communication with the usual formality as well as the informal nature to formulate a friendly environment and equal proprtion of the upward communication which should be a feedback indicator. Transsmission of messages should be flawless and the problems encountered in the process should be effectively managed at the grassroot level.The subordinates should be instructed properly about the procedures without any excess overload that may hamper the progression.In the same way there should be upward transmission of the problems as well as accurate evaluation of the performance and encouragement should be done to boost productivity and build loyalty.
The effective communicable environment is an important asset of a company and the benefits are manifold and ever increasing , this concludes the very importance and the basic need of communication at any workplace.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

8. Vertical Communication
Vertical communication is communication that flows
both up and down the organization.
It is the communication that takes place between
managers and their superiors and subordinates.
Vertical communication may involve only two
persons, or it may flow through several different
organizational levels.
9. Downward Communication
. It occurs when information flows
down the hierarchy from
high level to low level.
Example: When your boss shares information with you, it’s
downward communication, because your boss, as your supervisor,
is communicating with you as an employee or subordinate.
10. Main objectives:
To give specific directions to subordinates about the
job entrusted.
To explain organizational policies and procedures.
To apprise the subordinates of their performance.
11. Advantages of Downward Communication
Useful for management
The management finds it useful to communicate necessary
official information to subordinates.
Useful for employees
Downward communication is useful for subordinates as
they are well informed about their work from time to time.
A Sense of belonging
In downward communication, the subordinates carry a
strong feeling of participation in the management of the
organization. They regard themselves as important
subordinates.
12. Disadvantages of Downward Communication
Distortion
Downward communication has to pass through many
levels of authority, so there is a delay as well as distortion
of the message.
Authoritarian approach
In downward communication, there is too much
concentration of authority at the higher level. As people
in the lower levels are merely receivers of decisions. So
they unconsciously receive such message and
miscommunication results.
13. Over and under Communication
Downward communication suffers from over
communication or under-communication. In overcommunication supervisors talk too much and merely
waste the time of his subordinates.
In under-communication, the supervisor does not
talk enough and leaves his subordinates to his guessing
about what he wants them to do
14. Upward Communication
Upward communication is the
process of information flowing from
the low levels of hierarchy to the
upper levels.
This flow is usually
from subordinates to their direct
superior, then to that person’s
direct superior, and so on up
the hierarchy.
Example: When you give your supervisor
feedback about a new system or patron, it’s
upward communication
15. Methods of Upward Communication
Open-door policy: Employees are given a feeling that
their views, suggestions are always welcome by superiors.
Complaints and suggestion Boxes: Are installed in the
company. Employees are encouraged to drop in these
boxes.
Direct Correspondence: Write directly to superiors or
managers.
Counseling: Employees are encouraged to talk to their
superiors of their problems.
16. Advantages of Upnward Communication
Fosters Friendly Relations
Upward communication helps to bring about cooperation, goodwill and understanding among superiors
and subordinates. This stimulates friendly relations.
Provides Valuable Feedback
Upward communication provides a valuable feedback.
The superiors come to know how their plans and
policies; orders and instructions are being received and
executed.
17. Making Suggestions
The subordinates are encouraged to make suggestions
in the interest of the organization. Some of these
suggestions prove useful, and the subordinates are
suitably rewarded
18. Disadvantages of Upward Communication
Resistance From Subordinates
Subordinates rarely initiate upward communication as
they are afraid of being ignored.so they hesitate to
initiate it again.
Fear of Incompetence
The subordinates communicating with the superiors
fear that their colleagues or work may be regarded by
their superior as a reflection on their own competence.
19. Indecisive Superiors
If the superiors do not take any decision in the light
of upward communication, the subordinates loss
confidence in their superiors.
20. Diagonal Communication
Diagonal Communication takes place at different
levels in the hierarchy.
It occurs both ways, that is, from the upper level to low
level and vice versa.
The path is mixture of vertical and horizontal
movement.
21. In large communications various departments need
communication support from each other.
Diagonal communication aims at discussing such
matters as pertain to the execution of the plans and
policies of an organization to meet its business
objectives.
22. Advantages and Disadvantages of Diagonal
Communication
The path is mixture of vertical and horizontal
movement. So diagonal communication has all the
advantages and disadvantages of both, horizontal and
vertical communication.
23. Horizontal Communication
Takes place between individuals of equal
hierarchical rank and is more informal
than either downward or upward
communication
24. Functions of Horizontal
Communication
It helps employees fulfill their socialization
needs.
It helps employees and departments coordinate
their activities with one another.
It helps others better understand individual and
departmental responsibilities.
It helps individuals solve their own problems before
others have to become involved.
28. The marketing manager can
communicate with production
manager at the same level without
any difficulty.
29. By horizontal communication army and rangers
employees co-ordinate with each other.
Manager can better understand his responsibility
inside his perimeter.
It enhances the self actualization among the
people in society.
