The Types of

communication

Summary

Words, phrases, idioms, proverbs, gestures, and expres­sions are deeply cultured and possess high communicative potential for people from similar backgrounds.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

4. Communication must be able to evoke a response from the receiver, which would be evident in the form of some behavioural changes.
5. The method of communication can be verbal, that is, through words, or non-verbal, that is, through signs, gestures, expressions, etc.
All these five elements can also be called the process of communication, that is, sender, message, method, receiver, and response of receiver.
Nature of Communication:Communication can be divided broadly into two categories.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
These are:
1. Verbal communication
2. Non-verbal communication
Verbal communication is the use of words and languages for interaction between two or more individuals. It can be either oral or written. Hence, speaking, listening, reading, or writing are all classified under verbal communication. Since this type of communication elicits immediate feedback, in organizations, we make extensive use of verbal communication

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Non-verbal communication can occur without use of words. This type of communication sensitizes our senses, and thereby evokes responses, depend­ing on the way we interpret a particular cue. It is often referred to as body language, that is, any non-flexile or re-flexile body movements of the commu­nicator that carry some meaning. Gestures, facial expressions, glancing, star­ing, smiling, and raising of finger are some examples of body language that carry some meaning. In organizations, non-verbal communication is very important for interpersonal relations.
Based on organizational practices, communication can further be divided into internal and external, formal and informal, downward and upward, horizontal and diagonal, and grapevine. Flow of information within the organization is known as internal communication, which may be either formal or informal in nature.
External communication takes place between two organizations, that is, between the organizations and others outside the organizations. Formal communication is official communication, while informal communication takes place between members within the formal organization.
Communication that flows from superiors to subordinates is downward communication, whereas communication that flows from subordinates to superiors is upward communication. Horizontal communica­tion takes place between two equals, that is, between persons working at the same level in organizations.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Diagonal communication cuts across the hierarchical barriers. However, this is formal in nature. For example, direct communication from a field sales person to the vice president (HR) is diagonal in nature. We may notice that they are not only functionally apart but also hierarchically different. These apart, for globally dispersed organiza­tions, we have the system of network communication.
