A Simple Communication Model

Note

The process is affected by many situational and organizational factors. Factors in the external environment include educational factors, sociological factors, legal factors, political factors, technological factors and economic factors. Time and geographical distance are also other factors that affect communication. The manager may not have the time to send out communication or the message may become invalid with passage of time. Communication is also affected by internal factors such as the structure of the organization, managerial styles and changes in technology. Using the communication process model managers are able to pinpoint problems and to take corrective action.
