Business Communication
 How the communication is to be made
 Important to select an appropriate medium for the

message:
 Need to consider the needs of the sender, the nature
of the receiver and the aims of the communication
 Inappropriate medium can be a barrier to effective
communication
Vast majority of problems in business are caused
by ineffective communication in one form or
another
Businesses essentially human focused
organisations
Value of good communications therefore
inestimable
 Who the communication is aimed at

is an important factor:
 The nature of the medium and the content may depend
on who it is aimed at
 Necessity of being sensitive
to the receiver
 Should communication be formal
or informal?
 E.g.
E-mail communication:
 Does it need to adhere to normal rules

of spelling, punctuation and grammar?
 Is it appropriate to use text speak?
 Is this OK 4U or is txt 1 stp 2fr?
 Are there different rules for different situations?
 How do you know what the receiver expects?
 What damage can be caused by inappropriate e-mail messages?
The Message
Type
 Type of message may be an important factor in

determining the medium, content, approach, etc.
 Good news?
 Bad news?
 Information?
 Instruction?
 Each of the above may require a different approach and a
different medium.
The Message
 What is the communication designed to achieve?

 This needs to be considered carefully to judge the best

method of delivery and to judge the effectiveness of the
feedback as to whether the message has been successful.
Role of ICT
Role of ICT
 ICT has brought many advantages but also has its

limitations:
 It enables speedy communication
 It can be cheap and save on costs (e.g.

videoconferencing)
 It can be expensive in hardware requirements
 It can seem impersonal
 It can be abused
Barriers
Barriers
Anything that prevents successful

communication from occurring
Complex and multi-layered
Can be technical or generated
by the medium used, etc. but:
Main problem is human behaviour and
psychology, e.g.
Emotional Interference
 A significant factor influencing successful

communication
 Emotions - anger, frustration, happiness,
enthusiasm, need to be defensive, desire to be
assertive, etc.
 Body language – says far more about
communication than we ever realise!
An enduring image – the message this photograph was meant to send out was vital
to Middle East peace. What does the body language of those in the image suggest is
also being communicated to the world?
