Ineffective communication impacting organisational successes
Agarawal, A. (2012). Lack of Communication a Stumbling Block to the Development of an
Organisation. International Journal of Social Science & Interdisciplinary Research,
1(10), 121-130.
In this article, the author, who is also an assistant professor in university reveals that
in present and competitive business world, business managers have to face many challenges
especially while they take critical business decisions. The author claims that to eliminate
issues related to employee’s ineffectiveness and transformational changes, it is significant
that managements are aware of making effective decisions through good communicational
skills. Since Odine (2015 also stated a similar viewpoint, it can be assumed that business
managers who specialises in knowledge management and are good orator as well as listeners,
always generate effective ideas that can potentially eliminate negative impacts in
organisations. After conducting a methodological study, the author reveals about various
communication gaps facing businesses and effective ways that can help in bridging those
gaps. This article, therefore, illuminates bibliography through providing its readers and
contemporary business managers with communication skills related advantages along with
describing how sound communication enabling can motivate employees and increase
organisational productivity.

impact mergers and acquisitions outcomes. The International Journal of Human
Resource Management, 27(20).
The peer-reviewed journal article addresses key issues in incorporating
communication process and communication content including medium that are used for
conveying purposes. Specifically, the study made in this article examines interactions made
in organisations during mergers and acquisitions (A&M) to achieve strategic goals and
business alliances. The author finds a research gap in the fired of communication assessment
while performing A&M along with conducting a methodological analysis about A&M
outcomes through various communication process. Unlike article written by Agarawal (2012)
who considers more on organisational internal change, this paper address organisational
interaction during making A&M with external companies and thus elaborates communication
related issues from broader perspective. This article can assist MNC’s and global companies’
managers who considers more A&M while operating in global business environment. This
article enriches this bibliography from an international perspective by recommending various
technological and systematic ways that can assist organisation while making strategic
decisions.

Communication in Construction Industry: A Theoretical Review. Emerging Science
Journal, 1(4), 239-247.
This issue in Emerging Science article reflects upon communication issues arising
particularly in construction companies and identifies various impacts by making a research on
past experiences regarding failed projects. Study made by the authors reveal that poor
2

communication in construction sites can either be small scale of bigger ones depending upon
the communication between client and the contractors. Therefore, the author shows an
urgency to identify consequences that may result in severe failures and conflicts in projects.
Unlike work conducted by Shonubi & Akintaro (2016) of global companies, this article
focuses majorly on one industry thereby giving its audiences and construction company
owners a detailed insight about communication importance for releasing successes in their
projects. This article again enriches this bibliography by identifying significant problems that
may arise at workplace atmosphere and how big or small projects are affected by it.
Furthermore, this article gives appropriate solutions to reduce workplace communication
issues and says that to discover the severity behind ineffective communication, construction
practitioners must make a pragmatic survey before enabling alternative communication plan.
