 Evaluation of learning

Research into communication in organisations has employed a wide array of methods and methodologies. For example the measures that have been used include:

•  Interviews
• Focus Groups

•  Communication Network Analysis
•  Ethnographic Approaches

There are also wide variations across a range of other variables, including the focus of the research (examining one aspect e.g. upwards communication, or the entire gamut of communication), variety of instruments employed (one measure versus multiple methods), sample sizes , breadth of study (one small department or the entire corporation), objectives of the study (research or management information), nature of the organization, and the organisational context (highly successful organisation or one with very severe problems).

• Formal Communication

Communication is said to be formal when the dissemination of information, messages and ideas are according to prescribed or fixed rules and customs. It is external rather than natural because it is notes a result of the intrinsic feelings of the actors but imposed on them by the organization. it is usually very rigid and follows definite pattern and it is official in nature. It may be oral or written and vertical or horizontal. They are usually bureaucratic in nature and the directives or instructions are to be carried out.

• Informal Communication

This is described as any interaction or relationship which exists in any organization which is not deliberate, rigid, or structured. Such interaction and relationship are as a result of natural feelings without any outside interference, constraint or premeditation (Obisi, 2003: 224). It may also be viewed as messages conveyed through body movements, the intonations or emphasis we give to 'words, facial expressions and the physical distance between the sender and receiver.

•  Barriers to Effective Communication

In Communication, , there are other barriers to effective communication. As noted by Cushway and Lodge (1999, 189). Barriers to Communication can come from a number of Sources. The problem with the sender of the message who may be unable or indeed unwilling to communicate the necessary message very clearly or with the receiver who may be unable or unwilling to understand the message being sent or there may be environmental factors affecting the conditions under which the message is conveyed such as noise.
