From the Paper:

"Communication also is a two-way process or dialogue that involves the sender relaying a message, through a communication medium or channel, to the receiver of the message. Two parties are attempts to share meanings and relate to them in the same manner; in this way communication will be successful. The end result of communication is that it must bring out a response and change behavior. The most important factor is for the sender to communicate his/her ideas clearly and for the receiver to listen with understanding. Communication in an organization is a critical success factor. It is like glue that keeps every organization stick together, so to have a better organization, proper communication must be exercise."
