Principles of Management - Communication Structures
Q1: Describe the communication structure in an organization you are familiar with: your place of work, a club you belong to, your place of worship, and so on. To what extent is culture a factor in determining the communication structure and vice versa? What are some of the communication problems that have occurred in the organization and what suggestions do you have for modifying the communication structure so that such problems do not arise in future?
Q2: Do you think that the workplace culture goes beyond the ethnic heritage of the company's founders, managers, or employees? Substantiate your views with examples of at least one company.
Q3: How does communication in a small group differ from that in a large group? If you were a senior manager how would you communicate an important message to your Board of Directors, a relatively small group? If you had to communicate the same message to the entire organization, how would you do so? Compare and contrast the methods you have described. What factors did you consider in deciding on the communication process in each case?
