Business communication is communication that is intended to help a business achieve a fundamental goal, through information sharing between employees as well as people outside the company.[1][2] It includes the process of creating, sharing, listening, and understanding messages between different groups of people through written and verbal formats.[3] The way that people communicate and operate within a business is very vital to how successful the company will be in the business world. Business communication occurs internally, employee-to-employee, or externally, business-to-business or business-to-consumer. This internal and external communication can happen through verbal or non-verbal communication methods. Often these internal and external forms of communication come with barriers, which can prevent the receiver from understanding the information sent by the sender.
The word communication has been derived from the Latin word communis which implies common. Thus communication may be defined as the interchange of thoughts and information to bring about mutual understanding.
Business communication is closely related to professional communication and technical communication. It encompasses topics such as marketing,[2] brand management,[2] customer relations, consumer behavior, advertising, public relations,[2] corporate communication, community engagement, reputation management, interpersonal communication, employee engagement, internal communication, and event management.
Communication in general is valued even more in international business communications to allow for the understanding of cultures and the overall morale of the operation.[4]
Business communication focuses primarily on achieving goals/aims and, in the case of a public company or organization, increasing the dividends of shareholders.[5]
Business-to-employee communication, also known as workplace communication, is the exchange of information within an organization. The purpose of some communications is to develop trust, and/or to increase productivity.[6]
This type of business communication includes the flow of information from one level of the business hierarchy to another. Communication that flows from the top of the hierarchy to the bottom ("top-down communication") has been shown to decrease the stress levels of employees if it provides clarification and reassurance to the worker.[7] The amount of information shared in this way is often dependent on a "need to know" basis.[2] This communication may take the form of memos and other internal documents.[8] Although a certain level of top-down communication is helpful, too much communication can be seen by the employee as micromanagement. Upward communication is any communication within the business that is passed through the business hierarchy from the bottom upwards.[2] A suggestion box, which allows low-level workers to communicate with management anonymously, is one example of upward communication. Horizontal communication occurs between individuals who are on the same level in the business hierarchy.[2]
Business-to-business communication is sharing information between different other companies, often done to benefit both parties. Business communication can help the company achieve its fundamental goals by informing, persuading, and building good relations with other companies to reach mutual goals.[9]
Business-to-consumer communication, also known as direct-to-consumer, is when a company directly communicates with its consumers about product details or company information. The opposite is when a consumer leaves reviews on a product (or service), which may identify how the company could improve its product.
These internal and external types of business communication occur through verbal and non-verbal methods of communication.[3]
Some forms of verbal communication
Some forms of non-verbal communication
Television is an example of a medium which provides both verbal and non-verbal communication.
Face-to-face meetings and presentations are popular methods of communication between employees within an organization; they increasingly feature audiovisual material, like copies of reports, or material prepared in Microsoft PowerPoint or Adobe Flash. Means such as telephone conference and letters allows for communication over long distances.[8] In the 21st century, computer-mediated communication, such as video conferencing and email, has become increasingly prevalent in business. Formal reports are also important in documenting the activities of any department. Companies are helping customers wherever they are and establishing connections with them based on communication channels like instant messaging applications, voice, video, social media, and live chat, in addition to email, SMS, and WhatsApp marketing.[10]
There are several barriers that a business might experience when communicating with business partners. Such barriers can prevent one from receiving or understanding messages others use to convey information, ideas, and thoughts.[11][12][13][14][15]
These often arise because of differences in the states of mind, body, and perspective between sender and receiver, which are a result of how encoding or decoding processes occur.[16][11]
Higher learning institutions offer communication courses, and many are now offering business communication courses. These courses teach students how to communicate more effectively.[17][18] Attending these courses help students understand the communication barriers they might experience when communicating with others. It is suggested that 93% of employers believe that clear communication skills are more important than the students' actual major area of study.[19] Communication competence is an ability that is sought after by employers and often leads to professional success.[20]
