Communication is the exchange of information, ideas, feelings, and beliefs between two or more people. Dell Hymes's SPEAKING model outlines the key components of any communication act: the Setting/Scene, Participants, Ends, Act Sequence, Key, Instrumentalities, Norms, and Genre. The communication process involves a sender encoding a message, transmitting it through a channel, the receiver decoding the message, and providing feedback. Organizational communication occurs through different channels and types, both verbal and nonverbal, to achieve business objectives within an organization and externally.
