Communication - Basics &

Strategies

A thought kept in the

brain is of no use unless
and until it is shared
with other individuals
and rest of the world.
The idea, no matter
however brilliant it is,
must come out for its
successful
implementation for it to
bene t one and all. It is
the prime responsibility
of the individual to
share his thoughts and
ideas with others.
How is it possible? How
can one share his ideas
and thoughts?

The communication system enables the successful transmission of idea or any

other important information among individuals. The person from whom the
thought originates carefully encodes his ideas into a sensible content which is
now ready to be shared with everyone. He is commonly referred to as the
sender and the other party who receives the information from him is called the
receiver or the recipient. The free ow of information between the sender and
the receiver takes place because of the communication system.

The word Optical stands for light. As the name itself suggests, optical
communication system depends on light as the medium for
communication. In an optical communication system the transmitter

and nally the signal then reaches the recipient. The recipient then
decodes the signal and responds accordingly. In optical communication

light signals from the base and decide their next movements. On the
roads, red light communicates the individual to immediately stop while
the individual moves on seeing the green light.
In this mode of communication light travels through the optical bre.
2. Radio

Communication System

In the radio communication system the information ows with the help of
a radio. Radio communication system works with the aid of a transmitter
and a receiver both equipped with an antenna.
The transmitter with the help of an antenna produces signals which are
carried through radio carrier wave. The receiver also with the help of an
antenna receives the signal. Some information is unwanted and must be
discarded and hence the electronic lters help in the separation of radio
signals from other unwanted signals which are further ampli ed to an
optimum level Finally the signals are decoded in an information which can
be easily understood by the individuals for them to respond accordingly.
3. Duplex

communications system

In Duplex communications system two equipments can communicate

with each other in both the directions simultaneously and hence the
name Duplex. When you interact with your friend over the telephone,
both of you can listen to each other at the same time. The sender sends
the signals to the receiver who receives it then and there and also give his
valuable feedback to the speaker for him to respond. Hence the
communication actually takes place between the speaker and the receiver
simultaneously.
In the Duplex communication system, two devices can communicate with
each other at the same time.
A type of communication system involves the sender and the receiver
where the sender is in charge of sending signals and the recipients only
listen to it and respond accordingly. Such communication is also called
Simplex communication system.

Digital Communication System

The transmission of
information from the
sender to the recipient
through some medium
is called as
communication.
Communication enables
us to know what is
happening around us. It
helps us to share our
knowledge with others
and also gain from
other individuals
thoughts and ideas.
Communication takes
place through various
routes and channels
and with the help of a
medium. A person can
chat with his distant relative over the phone and thus the medium of
communication in this case is the telephone.
Communication can also take place with the help of light. The airport o cials
give various signals through light to the pilots for their safe landing. In this case
communication is through light and hence is termed as Optical communication.
Satellites also play a vital role in communication by receiving signals from the
earth station, amplifying it and then resending it back to the earth.
Communication can take place with the aid of an arti cial satellite between two
points on the earth. In the same way signal can also be sent in a digitalized form
as in case of Digital communication.

Theories of Organizational

The process of communication is initiated the moment the sender gets some
thought in his brain. To share his ideas with others, the thoughts must be
converted into a meaningful content by careful selection of words. This process
is also called as encoding. In digital communication, the thought is converted in a
digital format for the recipient to understand. In this mode of communication,
the data or the information is transferred electronically with the help of
computers.
Thus digital communication is a mode of communication where the
information or the thought is encoded digitally as discreet signals and
electronically transferred to the recipients. Digital communication is one of
the most commonly used mode of communication in the current scenario.
Organizations generally rely on this mode for all their business communications.

Jim wanted to meet all his team members at the conference room to discuss
their key responsibility areas and areas of expertise. He didnt have the time to Presentations
go to their workstations and invite them individually. Instead he opted an easier
and cheaper mode to communicate his idea. He sent an email marking a cc to all
the participants, inviting them for the meeting. This is an example of Digital
communication where the information was sent electronically.

cheapest modes of communication. Digital communication is also a really

Digital communication can take place anytime. You just need to have your
computer and you can communicate and share your ideas and thoughts anytime
anywhere just by the click of a button.
The disadvantage of digital communication is the recipient cant view the
expressions of the sender and has to rely only on the information sent to him.
Facial expressions dont really matter in digital communication. One must master
the art of writing emails for an e ective digital communication. Always
remember the other person cant see you; he just has to depend on the mail.
Your e mail has to be impressive and relevant to create the desired impact and
for the recipient to respond and give his feedback. A person putting up in India
can now very easily chat and even see his friend putting up in Los Angeles,
thanks to video conferencing and Digital communication. Faceboook, Orkut,
Twitter are also instrumental in digital communication. Through these social
networking sites individuals try to communicate what is new in their lives or
share any other important information with friends and relatives. A simple tweet
or a scrap can actually let the other person know a lot about the other
individuals.
