Flow of communication?

1). INFORMATION FLOWS IN AN ORGANIZATION BOTH FORMALLY AND INFORMALLY. 2). THE TERM FORMAL REFERS TO COMMUNICATION THAT FLOWS THE OFFICIAL HIERARCHY AND IS REQUIRED TO DO ONE'S JOB. 3). IT FLOWS THROUGH FORMAL CHANNELS- the main lines of organizational communication. EXAMPLES- 1). A manager instructs a subordinate on some matter. IT IS OF FOUR TYPES- 1). Downward communication 2). Upward communication 3). Lateral or horizontal communication 4). Diagonal or cross-wise communication


Lateral or horizontal communication is more important today than vertical communication Do you agree or disagree.Justify your answer?

yes horizontal is more important because rather than giving information or observing will not be more effective than dialog system where it is possible to understand almost all the facts of the situation before implementation of any task or goal.


What is direction of communication?

The direction of communication refers to the flow of information between individuals or groups within an organization or context. It can be categorized into three primary types: upward (from subordinates to superiors), downward (from superiors to subordinates), and lateral (between peers or colleagues at the same level). Each direction serves different purposes, such as feedback, instruction, or collaboration, and is crucial for effective organizational functioning. Understanding these directions helps improve clarity, efficiency, and relationships in communication processes.


How does time place and direction of communication influence decision making and communication in an organisation?

Time, place, and direction of communication significantly impact decision-making and organizational communication. Timeliness ensures that information is relevant and actionable, while the physical or virtual setting can affect the dynamics of interactions, fostering either open dialogue or hierarchical barriers. Additionally, the direction of communication—whether top-down, bottom-up, or lateral—shapes how information flows and influences stakeholder engagement, ultimately affecting the quality and speed of decisions made within the organization. Effective alignment of these factors enhances clarity, collaboration, and overall organizational effectiveness.
