Communication - the communication process

3 important questions on Communication - the communication process

The Communication Process (look at the figure)


The communication process involves a number of steps. The process begins with encoding a message, then transmitting that message through a channel, and it then being decoded by the receiver. Feedback helps improve communication effectiveness, but, on the other hand, noise can block or distort it.

Explain the meaning of the terms 'channel, feedback, noise, decoding, message)


- message: The encoded information
-channel: The medium used to send the message
-decoding: Translating the message back into something that can be understood by the receiver
-feedback: A check on the success of the communication
-noise: Anything that blocks,distorts, or changes in any way the message the sender intended to communicate

Types of Task Interdependence


Task interdependence  leads to an increase
in communications requirements. The three major forms of interdependence, as shown here, are pooled, sequential, and reciprocal. The higher the level of interdependence the greater the requirement for effective communication.
