Communication involves transfer of message with transmission of understanding...!!!

"Communication is the soul of management analysis and solid decision translated into clear messages that influence people to act and feel good about their performance." ~ Dianna Booher

Communication is the process of exchanging information, usually through a common system of symbols. It takes a wide variety of forms - from two people having a face-to face conversation to hand signals to messages sent over the global tele-communication networks. The process of communication facilitates interaction among people; without it, we would be unable to share our knowledge or experiences with anybody else. Common forms of communication include speaking, writing, gesturing and broadcasting.

The word 'Communication' has a rich history. The term communication comes from the Latin word 'Communicare' which has three possible meanings,

1. 'to make common'
2. cum + munus, i.e., having gifts to share in a mutual donation
3. cum + munire, i.e., building together a defense

Therefore, communication means to inform, tell, show or spread information. When a person communicates, he/she establishes a common ground of understanding. In the organizational context, it brings about unity of purpose, interest and effort.

"Communication ~ is the successful transmission of information through a common system of symbols, signs, behavior, speech, writing or signals."

"Communication ~ the process of meaningful interaction among human beings. More specifically, it is the process by which meanings are perceived and understanding is reached among human beings."
