Explaining the theories of the organization communication
The theories of the organization communication are:

Fredrick Taylor’s Scientific Management: The theory is used for organization communication as
it plays an important role that is related to idea scientific management which is used for
management oriented and protection perspective of the communication in the organization
(Moran, 2020). It is useful balancing creativity and constant on the other way the author believed
that it's all the problems that are faced by the organization at the time of communicating with
each other. It helps employees to know what the rules are; Lausanne principles that they have to
follow at the time of connecting with the other employees in the organization Anne have to
complete all his work with full effectiveness and efficiency. Main aim of this story is they have
to work more in less time. The theory also focuses on the group activity so that people will learn
how to communicate them in both manner whether it is written and oral which will also result in
understanding the information in correct manner which will result in fulfilling all the objectives
and goals with correct communication (Millot, 2017). Communication can also be solved by
giving proper training to the workers better based on apprenticeship models that are related to
teaching those skills and knowledge which will also help them to become experience person and
adopt different models. In the story they have also used different types of key factor that describe
method that help in building relationship among the workers that are working in the organization
along with this it will also result in clear cut and candid manner that the manager needed at the
time of communicating with its worker. Buy them return communication will help them to
manage and direct communication in the organization in proper manner.
Formal Communication: This theory helps the organization record all the decisions, rules,
regulations and the behaviors which will result in good and effective communication in the
organization. Also the important information can be communicated to the individual by using
chain of command which is easier for the employees to understand on the faster basis. This is
done in written manner that is also known as documented and accounted. Buy this the employees
don't have to ask the question to their leaders that what they have to do, how dare have to do end
what are the important point they have to know at the time of doing that 'cause this all is done in
the return manner (Holmes and Parker, 2017). It will also help the organization to set clear
definitions, directions and responsibility for the each position or among the workers to make
them aware of the tasks that are assigned by them at the time of their employment.
Communication plays an important role in the organization for achieving the old set objectives
and goals that will help in success and growth of the company.

Evaluating the barriers of communication at business united
The barriers of the communication data faced by the business united a private College of London
at the time going online classes because of big disease that is named as COVID-19. The
problems that are faced by the student at the time of online class’s lectures are:
Technical barriers: the biggest problem that is faced by the is student of the college is related to
technical barriers as sometimes because of network they are not able to know what are the things
that are taught by their teacher in the lectures. On the other hand because of networks and Wi-Fi
they face problem at the time of connecting to the zoom app because of that they are late in the
classes Anne they missed their lecture along with that they do not know what the topics that are
taught by their teacher are. Along with this they also have to face issue that is their teacher using
old laptop which result in he's talking the videos and students are not able to listen to the teacher
in good manner. Along with this because of some strikes or some technical problems students
have to face several difficulties at the time of connecting but the zoom app and they also miss
their important lectures that are taught by their teachers (Schartel Dunn and Lane, 2019).
Emotional barriers: The other barrier is related to student as at the time of having lectures online
they do not talk to their friends and even can be fun in the classes because there mikes are muted.
Because of this online class’s student are not able to do any fun as their Mica Are muted their
teacher only it opens when they have to ask something about the topic are there facing any
problems that are related to low voice or any other things.
Physical barrier it is related to the problems data faced by the student at the time of their lectures
as they are not feeling well or on the other hand they are having problems facing too they screen
continuously for long period of time (Nadanyiova and Das, 2020). Further Because of fever,
cough and sneezing their students are not able to attend the classes which results in big problem
for them as they don't have any second option for attending the lectures again of the same topic.
Noise barrier it is the other type of barrier that is face by the strength of the colleges sometimes
they are not unable to listen the voice of the lectures that are taught by their teachers in the online
classes because of the network break or any other source (Mihai, 2017).

Cultural barriers sometimes their students have some functions or anything at their home through
which they are not able to attend the class. That there are different languages that are used by the
different student for this the teachers have to face the issues to understand the problem that is
faced by them regarding the lectures’.
Examining different strategies to overcome these barriers
The different types of strategies that are made by the college to overcome these barriers that are
faced by the students are:
To overcome the barriers related to culture the college have told their teachers to record the
letters that are stored by them Anne can be uploaded to the sides of the college so did the
students who have not attended the lecture they can easily find them and learn it or understand it
which will result in Good and betterment for the for the student and they can easily attend the
lectures anytime anywhere. On the other hand because of different languages they have also
provided hi special app so by then the teacher and both student can communicate by using their
languages which is benefit for both of them and the student will not face any issues to tell their
teacher what are the problems that are faced (Fauzi, Al-Khowarizmi and Muhathir, 2020).
The other strategy that is made by the colleges they have given their teachers Mike so that their
voices are audible properly they student and they do not have to face any problems related to
noise on the other hand they have also told the is student too set at the places where there is no
noise and they are properly focused towards what is taught by their teachers.
The problems that are faced by the is student that is physical barriers the college have made the
strategies that at the time of lectures they will do fun activity with this student or yoga activity
which will not result in any back pain or other type of issues at the time of lectures going on in
the online classes (Veldeman, Van Praet and Mechant, 2017). This is strategy will also solve the
issues that is related to facing the screen continuously for longer hour.
To removing the problems that is related to emotional barriers The college had made the
strategies that is after the half an hour teaching of one topic the teacher should give a student the
rest of 10 minutes so that they do not feel bored of listening lecture continuously along with this
they feel good Anne focused at the time of lectures data taught by their teacher in the online
classes.

They have also made their strategies that are related to making everything possible so that the
student of the college should understand what are the lectures are taken by their teachers by
preparing timetable of the classes that will be held on that day and that are with this is student are
easily comfortable by knowing the time and schedule and they can arrange their full day on that
basis (Correa-Garcia, Garcia-Benau and Garcia-Meca, 2018). On the other end this will result in
not wasting their time an attending lectures in good an understandable manner.
Later on this all strategy are made for the betterment of both students and the colleges that they
do not face any problems related to the barriers.
