Effective Business Communications: Assignment 3

Communication is one of the most effective methods through which important messages can be
transferred from one person to another. It plays a vital role, especially in a workplace where effective
communication is needed for a business to run in a smooth manner. This essay states the different modes
of communication that are considered essential, especially in a workplace. Due to this, I have divided the
essay into three sections to emphasize the importance of each part which I have learned in course of ten
weeks. In the first section, I have accessed the various forms of communication which have been
identified. This is followed by the identification of one concept which according to me is very important
in regards to all the aspects of communication. The third section consists of identification of another two
concepts apart from the one already chosen. In this section, I have dealt with how these two concepts can
be used for my future aspiration in a workplace. Therefore, this essay deals with the significance of the
different types of communication and how they can be used for proper functioning in a workplace. Thus,
this essay begins with an understanding of the weekly assessments.
During my first week of the assessment, I learned about the significance of communication. Its
importance and proper usage were also discussed in thorough details. In the second week, the assessment
mainly dealt with non-verbal and verbal communication and put adequate importance on its difference.
This aspect was differentiated by taking the theory of expectancy violation as an example. In my third
week, I learned about the different modes of written communication that can be divided into different
aspects such as memos, emails, newsletters and reports among many others. In the following week, I
understood the different methods of written communication. Therefore, this week’s assessment focused
on how to execute the writing by putting plenty of focus on sentence and paragraph construction. I also
understood the importance of plagiarism and the method through which I will be able to avoid it.
The fifth week was an important one as I got to learn about how to write self-reflective essays as well as
literature review. The knowledge from the previous weeks helped inn steady assessment of this section of
writing communication. During my sixth week, I got introduced to the method of public speaking which

is an effective and important mode of communication. This week, I learned about the process through
which I can overcome my apprehension of public speaking. This week also taught me the importance of
the organization that adequately helps in the proper presentation of a plan or information in a workplace.
In week seven, I understood the various aspects regarding communication in more details. The ultimate
focus was on inter-cultural communication and the difficulties one might face during the process.
Therefore, I also learned about the methods through which this difficulty could be eliminated.
During my eighth week, I understand about the importance of organizational communication along with a
different network of communication which can be accessed in a workplace. In ninth week, I was taught
how to effectively form proper communication in a team. This week put ample of focus on teamwork and
how it can be made better by making the flow of communication smoother. The method of decision
making as a team was held as an important aspect in this week. In workplaces, such form of
communication took place in the form if normal or board meetings, even group discussion. Therefore, I
gathered plenty of knowledge of proper team communication. During my last week of assessment, the
main focus was aimed between interpersonal mode of communication and intrapersonal mode of
communication. This week, I also got to learn about two different types of socio-communicative style of
communication known as an assertive and passive message.
The assessment of ten weeks has provided me with a lot of information and knowledge about the different
modes of communication. I have understood the significance of each of the methods of communication
dealt with in this assessment. However, according to me, I think professional communication is the most
important in a workplace. According to Jia, Cheng & Hale (2017), this mode of communication is needed

of communication (associationofbusinesstraining.org, 2018). In the form of professional
