This document discusses principles of effective communication and different types of communication in organizations.
[1] Formal communication in organizations flows through official channels along the lines of authority, generally in writing. It helps maintain responsibility but can be time-consuming. Informal communication arises through social relationships and does not follow authority lines, arising from personal needs but it is hard to fix responsibility.
[2] To improve organizational communication, use multiple channels to disseminate messages, repeat important messages, focus on listening skills, ensure your message is understood as intended, and handle inevitable communication problems.

Features of Business Communication:
Business Communication has certain features or characteristics which enable us to distinguish it from
other communication.
A communication to be business communication must be:
1. Practical:
Effective business communication deals with the practical aspect of the information explaining why, how,
when and the like queries. It avoids impractical, imaginary, unnecessary or repetitive information to
eliminate waste of time. It conveys important information to the receiver.
2. Factual:
In general, a business message contains facts and figures in place of overall idea. Important date, place,
time, etc. should be clearly mentioned in a business communication.
3. Clear and Brief:
The language used in business communication should be simple, clear, brief and without ambiguity.
Sometimes charts, photographs, diagrams, etc. are used to condense or clarify the information.
4. Target-Oriented:
A business communication must have a specific objective and must be planned properly so that the
objective can be achieved.
5. Persuasive:
Business communication often plays a persuasive role. It persuades an employee to perform his/her
duties, a customer to buy a product or service etc. The basic characteristics mentioned above are related
to the message or information of the communication.
The process of business communication has certain other characteristics. They are:
1. Integral Part of Management Process:
Communication encompasses those activities by which the ideas, opinions and decisions of the managers
are conveyed to the subordinates of different ranks. It also involves the exchange of facts, feelings,
suggestions and responses between the superiors and subordinates.
Communication, in this way, puts the people into action, guides and directs their activities, regulates and
co-ordinates them for proper work performance. A manager, thus, performs the management functions
through communication and managerial positions become the communication centres to receive
information from various sources for its transmission to relevant points.
So, communication is a part and parcel of management function, and is, thus, an integral part of
management process. That is why, Chester I. Bernard remarks, “the first executive function is to
develop and maintain a system of communication”.
2. Two-Way Traffic:
Communication does not only mean its downward movement from superior to the subordinates it implies
both the transmission and reception. So, when conveying any information, a manager should know its
reactions and responses. Otherwise, managerial task of guiding and directing will be ineffective.
A man should, thus, not only speak, inform and order, but should also be able to listen, answer and
interpret. Communication, therefore, involves two-way traffic from the managers to the employees and
from the employees to the managers. It is not complete unless the message has been correctly understood
by the receiver and its res
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.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Communication skills for_internals
1. 1. Determine communication and explain the principles of
effective communication?
Communication is the activity of conveying meaningful
information. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an
intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware
of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication;
thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space.
Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area
of communicative commonality
No group can exist without communication: the transference of
meaning among its members. It is only through transmitting meaning from one
person to another that information and ideas can be conveyed.
Communication, however, is more than merely imparting meaning. It must
also be understood. In a group in which one member speaks only German and
the others do not know German, the individual speaking German will not be
fully understood. Therefore, communication must include both the
transference and the understanding of meaning.
An Idea, no matter how great, is useless until it is transmitted and
understood by others. Perfect communication, if there were such a
thing, would exist when a thought or an idea was transmitted so that the
mental picture perceived by the receiver was exactly the same as that
envisioned by the sender. Although elementary in theory, perfect
communication is never achieved in practice.
Principles of effective Communication-
* Begin in a friendly way. Whenever possible, begin with praise and honest
communication. Smile and be inviting and open instead of serious and
demanding.
*Give honest and sincere appreciation. How often do you offer genuine
appreciation to your co-workers versus the times you criticize and condemn
them?
2. *Become genuinely interested in others. Learn to ask thoughtful questions
that will show your interest in others.
*Make the other person feel important—and do it sincerely. Operate by the
principle that you gain more influence by raising people up than by knocking
them down.
*Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Learn to
value the positive instead of hunting for the negative. It’s easy to see what’s
wrong—everybody can do that. A skilled individual finds the optimistic and
positive perspective.
*Talk in terms of the other person’s interests. Remember, everyone is self-
interested. Your job isn’t to change this, but to use it to your advantage in
gaining influence in a benign, supportive way.
2. Distinguish between Formal & Informal Communication. Describes the
various directions in which Formal & Informal communication
generally follows?
In an organization, there are basically two ways of communication
namely:
Formal and
Informal communication
Below explain their differences and characteristics:
FORMAL COMMUNICATION
Communication takes place through the
formal channels of the organization
structure along the lines of authority
established by the management.
Such communications are generally in
writing and may take any of the forms;
policy; manuals: procedures and rule books;
memoranda; official meetings; reports, etc.
3. Advantages & Disadvantages of Formal
Communication:
The advantages of formal communication are:
They help in the fixation of responsibility and
Maintaining of the authority relationship in
an organization.
The disadvantages of formal communication
are:
Generally time consuming, cumbersome
and
Leads to a good deal of distortion at times.
INFORMAL COMMUNICATION
Communication arising out of al those
channels of communication that fall outside
the formal channels is known as informal
communication.
Built around the social relationships of
members of the organization.
Informal communication does not flow lines
of authority as is the case of formal
communication.
It arises due to the personal needs of the
members of n organization.
At times, in informal communication, it is
difficult to fix responsibility about accuracy
of information. Such communication is
usually oral and may be covered even by
simple glance, gesture or smile or silence.
3. How will you improve the effectiveness of communication in
your organization?
4. 1. Use Multiple Channels for Organizational Communication – One of the
most effective ways to ensure that people get your message is to send it across
multiple channels. Some of the more effective channels include meetings, face-
to-face talks, e-mail, faxes, telephone conversations, bulletins, postings, and
memos. The key is to make sure you always employ multiple methods to
disseminate your message, and never rely on a single channel.
2. Make Important Messages Repetitive – In addition to using multiple
channels, you can improve organizational communication by repeating
important messages from time to time.
3. Focus on Listening – This is vital during individual (i.e., one-on-one)
communication. The biggest reason that most of us are poor listeners is that we
don’t take the time to actively listen. You can do this by utilizing reflective
listening skills (paraphrasing what your speaking partner has said to confirm
understanding), using good nonverbal behaviors and body posture (e.g., face
your communication partner with an open stance), and focusing on your partner
by making a conscious effort to listen first instead of trying to get your message
across first. Do this by saying to yourself, ―for the next three minutes, I am
only going to listen‖.
4. Get Your Message Across – After you listen and fully understand your
communication partner, you must make sure you can get your message across in
the exact way it is intended. To do this, speak openly and honestly, and be as
straightforward as possible (i.e., no ―beating around the bush‖); speak
inclusively and use terms that will be understood and respected by a diverse
array of individuals; and check for understanding to make sure your message
has been received accurately.
5. Handle Communication Problems – Finally, we must become more
effective at managing the communication problems that will inevitably arise
during human interaction. Such problems include conflict, difficulty in
resolving problems, misunderstandings, dealing with difficult people and
managing cultural differences. I will address these issues in future posts.
