Q3 Chapter 4

"Communicating in Organizations"


Through communication, organizations are able to be successful. The most successful organizations thrive because of how successful they operate internally and externally through others. Organizational communication is how organizations can effectively develop with one another. Over time organizations can emerge and develop like nations or ethnic groups. There are certain norms and behaviors in an organization, which essentially makes each organization unique. Relationships can form in an organization and usually develops through everyday interactions. It is similar to working at a job, where there is constant communication between the manager and employees. The individuals in organizations need to know communication skills and the members also need a common goal or interests. There are two different types of communication channels. One is a formal channel, which are “the communication paths established along the hierarchical lines of an organization.” The second are informal channels, which “refer to the grapevine as well as to unauthorized communications.”
