o What is communication?
o Importance of communication
o Process of communication
o Factors of communication
Q: What is communication?
As the term communication is derived from Latin word communice which
means common
i.e. common background to understand the ideas.
Communication is the two way process of exchanging the ideas. The
process of transmitting the ideas from one person to another person. It may be defined as
the process by which message evoke response
In this definition two points arises
At the first communication take place when message evoke response that means when
there is no any reply or response from audience side then there is no any re
communication,
Second communication takes place when message is received by an other person, if its
not received there will be no any response so no communication take place.
FOR EXAMPLE OF COMMUNICATION
MR. Faraz is teaching students he is transmitting him ideas, thoughts to the students..
So we can say its a communication because what ever in the mind of teacher he is
exchanging to the student, and student listening as well as understanding the ideas which
shared by Mr. faraz. So we can say that communication is a two way process.
FOR EXAMPLE OF NOT COMMUNICATION:
A chines come to Pakistan and he went to market for purchasing the clothes, but when he
talk with shopkeeper so shopkeeper does not understand the language of chines in this
case we can say that there is no communication b/w people. Because chines does not
exchange idea to the shopkeeper, and also shopkeeper does not exchange idea to the
chines
FOR EXAMPLE:
o Two people talk about Pakistan economics
o A person writes a letter to his friend
In this two example we can see when two people sharing the ideas to each other so its
communication
When his friend received and read a letter so we can say communication take place.
IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION
Communication is very important b/c its a fundamental truth of universe, because if no
body able to listen or express him or her purpose means if every body deaf and dumb and
not be able to exchanging ideas so what the existence of universe..
IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION IS CATOGRISED IN TWO WAYS
Its a life blood of an organization
Its help in career and personal life
ITS A LIFE BLOOD OF AN ORGANIZATION
From the sentences we can say that the blood circulate with in human body, so
the communication circulate with in an organization, as the blood is necessary for the
human being as similar communication is necessary for organization. as blood comes
from upward to downward as communication has been receive from senior officer junior
officer, As blood comes from down ward to upward as communication comes from junior
to senior.
As we say communication comes from senior to junior these communication are mostly
about the organization policies, product goals, administrative matters etc
As communication say junior to senior is about the work and progress report because
senior officer want to know that target have been achieved or not and how much remain
to be done. The senior officers have also listened to the opinion, suggestion and problem
of the subordinates.
ITS HELP IN CAREER AND PERSONEL LIFE
In that statement we can say that if there are job of accountant and 100
applications are received in that 10 are rejected and 90 are fulfilled the job requirement.
So organization conduct interview that how person is communicating and giving the
answer of question. The person who take interview he will see the body language and
communication ways. If there was 90 people who came for interview so they will give the
answer in 90 communicating ways. So organization selected only the person which has
emotional, confident. Body language is perfect. So we can say that the communication
help in career..
If we talk about there was no interview and just was written test so communication is
taken place in written communication in form of essay writing, application.
Promotion
Ability to hard work with confidence also help a people who do job and he can get easily
promotion through his good performance and good performance come from good
communication skills. So we also can say good communication help in for getting
promotion
For example
There is 2 person Mr. faraz and Mr. sherez work in same organization Mr. faraz has
good communicating skills he is also well dressed well mannered and hard working he
also well worked when manager give to write letter so he write good letter with neatness
cleanness and always speak in well mannered in an organization. When we taking about
the Mr. Sheraz he is also hard working but he has no good communication skills when
meting conduct so he mostly confuse not take part in English meeting and also not come
with well dressed so in this case we can say Mr. faraz is getting promotion b/c of he has
good communication skills and has very much confidence
PERSONAL OBJECTIVES:
Through out we communicate form own life in house, business, friends so there
must be some purpose when there is some purpose so we talk or write, listen or speak
So talking, writing, speaking, listening is a source of communication.
As a teacher communicate help him teach effectively because of communication skill,
when any person given answer of any question so through communication skill we easily
knows that communication is very important in our daily life.
FACTORS OF COMMUNCIATION
There are five communication factors
Sender
Message
Medium
Receiver
Feed back
SENDER
A person who sent the message then he called as sender or also called as encoder.
It can be the speaker, writer depending on whether the message oral or written.
A person who sends the ideas emotion demotion thought to the receiver.
For example:
Pervaiz musharuf addressing to the nation
Mr. Faraz is writing a letter to Mr. Azmat
Nazir gopal sir is teaching as managerial communication.
In three examples we can easily see all to sending ideas, thought or what ever in mind of
each they are send so we can also say that sender is first person.
MESSAGE
Message is the core idea communicates. The main thing is that you must decided
what the main point of your message is and what other information should be include.
Message can be oral or written. Its based on nature of message.
Sender use not bad words in message like (fault, blame, and mistake) that breaks the
feeling of the receiver.
MEDIUM:
Actually medium means for doing something. Its depend on the relationship b/w
sender and receiver and also on nature of message.
EXAMPLE OF RELATION SHIP B/W SENDER AND RECEIVER
If two person meet and talk so they will be oral communication used not written
because he and she friends or any one else.
If there is an agreement b/w two parties so they will used written communication
b/c of they dont trust.
If a person buy goods and sellers sale him on account and said that you can give
me when you have money because they are friend in this case oral communication
is used because buyer was a trustee person.
EXAMPLE ON NATURE AND ALSO RELATION OF MESSAGE.
A person said to him brother that said to papa send 3000 rupees because of fees paid to
institute and this amount send me through my friend.
A person write a letter and give him friend and says please give to my father in this letter
he write same words which he told to him brother about 3000 but he write letter because
his friend not a family member and his brother was a family member due to which he
told him oral
So in this we can say medium depends upon relationship as well as nature of message.
RECEIVER
The message receiver is may be reader or listen may of your message have more
than one decoder. We also can say the receiver is second person.
FOR EXAMPLE
Person who listening news
Person who read a news paper
Person who read a letter
In three case news casters are sender and a person who listening news called receiver
As a person write a letter is a sender and a person who read a letter called receiver.
FEED BACK
Its response relation showing by receiver. It can either desired response because
of clear understanding or undesirable response because of miss communication. It can
be oral or written sender actually needs feed back in order to determine the success/
failure of the communication.
Response can be positive, negative and responser can say wait.
Sender

MR Shaneel
Hello
Oral
MR. Don
HI
Through this we can easily understand that who is sender? What is message? Which
medium is using? And who is called the receiver? And what can be the feed back of
receiver...
(1) Appearance
Written message
Spoken message
APPEARANCE
Appearance also communicate it also effects receivers attitude before they read and hear.
It can be effects on written message as well as on spoken message.
APPEARANCE ON WRITTEN MESSAGE
The format of and neatness of written message communicate non verbally
FOR EXAMPLE
Envelop colors, size, weight; postage may impress the reader before he read.
The neatness and cleanness of letter, font size, also impress the reader.
APPEARANCE ON SPOKEN MESSAGE
Actually spoken message is in verbal form, but the appearance of speakers also
communicates.
FOR EXAMPLE:
The appearance of speaker also as dress of speaker, hair style, neatness, jewelry
and cosmetic also impress before listen the message
(2) BODY
LANGUAGE
Facial
expression
Smell
Touch
Posture and
gesture
Body language includes facial expression, smell, touch, posture and gesture, and Para
language.
FACIAL EXPRESSION
Its means your eyes and face is helpful of communicating non verbally. They can
reveal hidden emotions, including anger confusion, fear joy and other expression.
So we can say there are two factors eyes and face.
FOR EXAMPLE
When some body smile we easily understand he is happy.
SMELL
Various order and fragrance also communicate it some time also effect the
reaction of receiver especially it the receiver is sensitive to sent
It communication show about the situation.
FOR EXAMPLE
Mr. Azmat and Mr Ashab stand on the bus stand and waiting of bus for coming to
institute, when they was stand one person went into the motorcycle and they inspire the
person perfume so we can say that its a communication without any words.
Para
language
TOUCH
Its also communicate at different places and times, by the touch some may show
undesirable feelings (anger) or some may show (desirable) feeling such as may not mind.
FOR EXAMPLE OF TIMING
Mr.Umair meeting with BUSH during the meeting Mr Umair friend come and
touches him. Then mr.umair angry on him friend.
FOR EXAMPLE OF PLACE
Mr Umair doing work in a class room his friends come and touch him so mr
Umair not mind.
So we can say that some time touch show anger and some time not mind. And we can say
it does depend upon place and time.
POSTURE AND GESTURE
Some times action speaks louder the words.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Deaf and dumb people communicate through a language composed of
hand figure and eye movement.
Traffic police is communicating through hand so we can say that its a
communication which is not expressed by words.
PARA LANGUAGE:
When we talking about Para language so it shows the different of what is
said and what is means.
In this speaker said those words which meaning opposite from words which is said by
speaker.
FOR EXAMPLE:
A person comes late in the meeting room, almost meeting on finished, Manager
said him why are you come early.
In this sense Manager Words are not show the meaning of why you come early to listener
but it shows the why you come late, so we can say its a Para language.
(3) Silence
Sound
Time
SILENCE
It communicate serious feelings, it can be for the two factors such as when you
have made a mistake or when you want confirm your statement thinking in silence.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Teacher lecture to the student so in this lecture a student may be silent in case
either he understands all Lecture or either not. In this case non verbal communication is
from student side not sir side because sir is on verbal communication.
Silence is dividing into two forms.
SOUND
There are two categories of sound such that human sound or non human sound,
FOR EXAMPLE:
Human sound crying of person, laughing of person include in human sound.
Non human sound as fore of gun, voice of bell etc.
TIME:
There are also two ways such that timing for short notice and for long notice,
If there is punctuality of time then its also communicate the receiver non verbally
FOR EXAMPLE OF SHORT TIME
Short time show emergence, ig Mr Rashid call friend and said please come house
my Grand mother has some serious illness so its show the short notice to listener that he
must to reached on time.
FOR EXAMPLE OF LONG TIME OR NOTICE
Long notice show the interest if Mr faraz does not want sell the share of P.I.A for
at least 5 months so in this case An agent through which he doing transaction of buying
and selling understand that mr faraz interest for long time.
COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATION
Communication
Internal communication
Vertical communication
External communication
Horizontal communication
Upward communication
Downward communication
INTERNAL COMMUNICATION
The communication which circulates with in the organization is called internal
communication.
Its divide into,
Vertical communication
Horizontal communication
VERTICAL COMMUNICATION
Communication among different ranks of people with an organization is called vertical
communication.
FOR EXAMPLE
Communication b/w senior to junior
Its divide into two parts.
Upward communication
Down ward communication
UPWARD COMMUNICATION
Its a communication from bottom to top its from employees to employers,
in which information are impacted from junior to senior.
Q: HOW UPWARD COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANCE AND WHY ITS TAKE
PLACE?
Actually we think that why junior want to communication with senior because if
junior problem in work place so they communicate from senior. If senior know the
problem and fulfill problem so junior gives him more output and only worker or junior is
a person who well know about the what problem is and how it can be solved,
DOWN WARD COMMUNICATION:
Its a communication from top to bottom and its from employers to employees in
which information are impacted from senior to junior.
Q: HOW DOWN WARD COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANCE AND WHY ITS
TAKE PLACE?
These communication mostly about the organization policies products goals
administrative matter etc.
In this communication juniors wants to know that over goals are achieved or not?
Because of if organization does not achieved goals so employee think that organization
go into profit so he satisfy with job if loss so he think about switch, if they satisfy they
perform more and more because they satisfy that with job.
HORIZANTAL COMMUNCIATION
This communication between equal ranks of people.
Top mgt:
Middle mgt:
Lower mgt:
Top mgt:
middle mgt:
lower mgt:
If there is a problem and all members are suffering from that problem so we getting ideas
from all mgt: they sit together and draw conclusion.
EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION
The communication outside the organization called external communication. Its
very much important because of value of good will and reputation is depending upon
external communication. If customer has no good external communication we can say
there will be no customer your letter win and loss customer who can increase revenue
and profitability.
Ch: 2
The message in the letter is complete when it contains all facts the reader or
listener needs for the reaction you desire.
Completeness offers numerous benefits. First complete message are more likely to bring
the desired results without the expense of additional messages.
Second they can do a better job of building goodwill of the organization.
Third complete messages can help avert costly lawsuits that may result if important
information is missing.
For complete message keep the following in the mind.
Provide all necessary information
Answer all questions asked.
Give something extra when desirable.
PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION
Provide all necessary information which reader needs. One way to help make
your message complete is to answer the five w questions who what when where why and
any other essential is how. The five question method is especially useful when youre
write request announcements or other informative messages.
FOR EXAMPLE:
To order merchandise make clear what you want, when you need it, to whom and
where it is to be sent and how payment will be made.
ANSWER ALL QUESTION ASKED.
Whenever you reply try to answer all questions. If you will not give the answer of
all questions is gives unfavorable customers reaction. The customer will think that the
respondent is careless or is trying to conceal weak points of the organization.
If you are answering the question and you have not information about any particular
question so you can say so clearly.
GIVE SOME THING EXTRA, WHEN DESIRABLE
Some time you must do more than answer the customers specific questions. They
may not know what they need or their question may be inadequate.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Incomplete question:
Please fax me in return the departures from Pakistan to England on the 8th
In responsibility to the above you would have to

True courtesy involves being aware not only of the perspective of others, but alos their
feelings, courtesy stems from a sincere you attitude, it is not merely politeness with
mechanical insertion of please and thank you, although applying socially
accepted manners is a form of courtesy.
In addition the following the guideline discussed as under
Be sincerely tactful, thought full and appreciative.
Use expressions that show respect.
Choose nondiscriminatory expressions.
BE SINCERELY TACTFUL, THOUGHTFUL AND APPRECIATIVE.
Though few people are intentionally adrup or blunt, these negative traits are a
common cause of discourtesy. Sometime they stem from a mistaken idea of conciseness,
some times form negative personal attitudes, sometimes from not knowing th culture of a
country.
For Example:
Tactless, blunt
More tactful
No reader wants to receive messages that offend such expressions are discussed
in two groups, so please omit irritating expression and questionable humor.

find irritating. Avoid these expressions particularly used with you or your

Laughter to one person is disgust for another each of us has different sense of
humor; a flippant attitude can be in poor taste.
CHOOSE NONDISCRIMINATORY EXPRESSIONS.
Another requirement for courtesy is the use of nondiscriminatory language that
reflects equal treatment of people regardless of gender, race ethnic origin and physical
features, the
Substandard language should be avoid using incorrect words, incorrect grammar faulty
pronunciation all suggest an inability ot use good English, some example follow.

why he did not attain 100% profit and make planning for complete 100% in this case
we can say the planning communication for specific purpose.
ANALYZING YOUR AUDIENCE
See your message from your receivers point of view, their needs, interest,
attitudes, even their culture,
If you are sending a message to one person try to see that person as member of a
group, such as business or professional person or laborer, superior , colleagure or
subordinate, woman or man , new or longtime customer, young middle age or elder,
Finally consider your message decide whether your readers or listeners are informed
or uniformed on the subject and whether they will react positively or negatively, with
interest or disinterest,
CHOOSE THE IDEAS
Manager choosing the ideas among lots of ideas to keeping view that what the
purpose is and to whom we will communicating tomorrow.
Choosing the ideas according to the purpose or reader if readerchange so idea will be
change.
GETTING ALL THE FACTS
Before planning communication for tomorrow manger should get all the fact of
the customer ofor which he wil communicate in tomorrow.
Facts means name of customer, address of customer, we get all facts today because we
communicate them in tomorrow.
For example
Mr Ashab introduce new product so he will write a letter to customer, that our
company introduce a new product, suppose Mr Ashab has not a facts and figure of the
of the customer so how he can communicate from him.
So in this case we can say that in planning communication get all facts and figure to
whom we want to communicate.
