Paper Summary:

This paper summarizes the communication process and its key components. It shows that from the study of communication, it can be simply understood that communication is an exciting and extensive subject that seeks to establish the process of how we interrelate with one another. The paper argues that one of the most important steps to this understanding is to gain an initial knowledge of the process of communication. The art of getting one's message across effectively is a fundamental part of being a successful manager. The paper uses an example from the author's own work environment to illustrate an unsuccessful communication process.

From the Paper:

""Communication is the process of sending and receiving messages with attached meaning" (Schermerhorn, Hunt and Osborn, 2000), and has two key components: Source and Receiver. A Source may be an individual or organization that is seeking communication, in other words sent information is in transmittable form to the Receiver. Receiver may be also an individual or organization to whom information has been sent. Such information is transmitted via different communication channels. The successful completion of the communication process depends upon the correct choice of communication channels."
