CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background
To The Study
Communication has been widely
acclaimed as an effective for which an organization carry out their functions
effectively. Managers received information regarding his or her groups
activities and must continually disseminate information to their level to
ensure that the various units in an organization are operating properly.
In recognition of the fact, many
authors have made their contribution s towards this claim as follows:
Chester (2007) for example, viewed
communication as the means by which people are linked together in an
organization to achieve a common purpose indeed, group activities are
impossible without communication because coordination are change cannot be
effective.
Koontz (2002) also viewed
communication as involving ideation, distribution, reception, absorption and
evaluation. It involves the art of transmitting the right information in such a
way that that the right person receives it, understood, weighted correctly and
result on appropriate action.
Thus management, operations and
performance cannot take place or be achieved without communication between
persons and units.
Communication is a powerful tool
that management can use to develop and sustain a smoothly functioning team,
directing the employees and for coordinating their activities. Communication
bridges the gap between the top management level and the worker, without
effective communication a proper supervisor subordinate relationship cannot
really exist in an organization.

interested in communication. They emphasized human problems that occur in the
process of initiating, transmitting and receiving information. They have
focused on the identification of proper use of communication, especially those
that involved interpersonal relationship of people.
Communication in an organization is
to effect change to influence action towards the welfare of the organization.
For example, manufacturing companies requires information about prices,
competition and modern technology as well as information about the business
cycle and government activity. The acknowledgement is the basis for
discussions, affecting product lines and quality marketing strategy.
