,PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to define communication. People communicate for three basic
purposes: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. However, in the professional workplace, some of
these purposes have greater importance. Informing and persuading are common purposes of
communication in the workplace. In addition, establishing and maintaining our credibility and positive
relationships with others are also important purposes in an organizational setting.
What is communication? Communication is the process of exchanging and interpreting information and
meaning between or among individuals through a system of symbols, signs, and behavior. In ideal
situations, the goal is to reach mutual understanding.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
The following objectives are addressed in this chapter:
1-1 Define communication and describe the value of communication in business.
1-2 Explain the communication process model and the ultimate objective of the
communication process.
1-3 Discuss how information flows in an organization.
1-4 Explain how legal and ethical constraints, diversity challenges, changing technology, and

communication.
