Communication may happen between superior and subordinate, between peers, between a manager and a client or customer, between an employee and a government representative.

It may be done face- to-face or through printed materials, or through an electronics device like telephone.

In management, communication must be made for a purpose and because it has a cost attached to it, it must used effectively.


INFORMATION FUNCTION- Information provided through communication may be used for decision-making at various work levels in the organization.

MOTIVATION FUNCTION- Communication is also used as a means to motivate employees to commit themselves to the organization’s objectives.
