 The Communication Process
 The two common elements in every communication exchange are the
sender and the receiver.
 The sender initiates the communication. He or she is a person who has a
need or desire to convey an idea or concept to others. On the other hand,
the receiver is the individual to whom the message is sent.
 The sender encodes or formulates the idea by selecting words, symbols, or
gestures with which to compose a message.
 The message is the outcome of the encoding or formulating, which takes
the form of verbal, nonverbal, or written language. The message is sent
through a medium or channel, which is the carrier of the communication.
 The medium can be a face-to-face conversation,
telephone call, e-mail, or written report. The
receiver decodes, interprets or understands the
received message into meaningful information.
 Noise is anything that distorts the message.
Different perceptions of the message, language
barriers, interruptions, emotions, and attitudes are
examples of noise.
