Business Communication

Language differences and the difficulty in understanding unfamiliar accents-
Another barrier which effects and hinders the effective communication is language
difference and difficulty in understanding unfamiliar accents. The people who were
travelling in the tube are localise and some are tourist which indicates towards language
difference as there are individuals who were unaware of foreign languages in which
tourist were communicating. And the tourist were having problems in understanding the
language and the accident of the people who lives in London and who were travelling
for their work or from their work.

Devising and developing strategies for overcoming communication barriers.
Effective communication is very important and essential as it provides clarity to the
receiver and an appropriate revert or reply to the sender fulfils the motive of the
respective communication. Interactions and conversations can be hindered due to
numerous different factors. Some of the common communication barriers which are
faced by Londoners and tourist while travelling in the tube and which created a lot of
cross between them are identified above that is language Differences and front
viewpoints and perspectives. In order to overcome these communication barriers few
strategies are developed and suggested. These devised strategies are as follows:
LO2
Identifying common challenges and barriers in effective communication.
There are many different and numerous reasons behind failure of interpersonal
communications. in many communication and conversations the message which is said
may not be received properly by the receiver and miscommunication takes place. It is said
that the sandal should always seek feedback for checking that the message is clearly
delivered or not. There are barriers to effective communication which are very common
and which sometimes implements negative impacts on the organisational communication
channels and interpersonal relationships. Such problem faced by the tourist and the local
Londoners while travelling in tube for their specific purposes. These common
communication barriers are as follows:
Difference in perceptions and viewpoints- The individuals belongs to different areas and
holes different experiences and backgrounds. Along with that every individual or a person
is different from one another holding separate and unique mind-sets. The difference in
perception and viewpoints was there when people were travelling in tube. Few people were
tourist who are there for enjoying their time in the city. The viewpoint difference with the
common Londoners because they are travelling in the tubes for reaching and coming back
from their work. Few people were full of energy as they are enthusiastic for exploring
London and few are exhausted for full of tension because of the work. Therefore the
difference in view point is main barrier which causes a lot of tension between people
travelling with the tube.

Therefore in such situations which was faced by the Londoners and the tourist while
travelling in the same to tube is to act as a negotiator and try to bill effective relationship
with one another rather than fighting and creating chaos for each other. For a negotiator an
individual needs to show respect for each other’s culture rather than judging them on the
basis of it. Along with that the localities and the travellers have to understand and be
aware of each other prospective on their cultures and should communicate in such a way
which do not enjoy their feelings rather than that will provide them an appropriate and
clear understanding of what exactly the sender is trying to convey to them. This
negotiation practice will help both the parties while travelling in the tube to peacefully
reach to their respective locations without facing any problems and difficulties with one
another and also developing an effective understanding amongst one another.

Be aware of language, tone and content of message- The sender of the message is the
person who starts the communication and who initiate the transfer of messages. The
sender is always suggested to take care of the fact that the message should be framed
appropriately and clearly with beautiful language. Either tourist for a locality is starting
the conversation they should be aware about their language and most importantly the tone
of the message. They should keep in mind that the tone of the communication should not
injure or harm the feelings of the receiver. Along with it the sender also have to make sure
that the message that they are trying to convey is brief and excessive. I should ignore the
use of technical words which are very difficult to understand by the other person or group
of people.
Be a good listener- At the time of communication there are at least two parties involved
or more, one is a sender and the other party or the group of people are the receivers. In
order to make their communication effective and attain a particular conclusion it is very
important for the listener to be attentive and to patiently listen the sender who is
communicating. the people in need to understand that once they listen properly then only
they can provide the feedback or revert to the sender for continuing the interaction. if the
receiver do not receive the message properly as he or she was not attended then it is not
possible to provide the appropriate reply to the sender which enters the communication
and therefore it is suggested to people that they listen to each other first and then reply and
react.
LO6
Demonstrating awareness of cultural influences on communication and
awareness.
Culture profoundly influences the way how people think, they behave and more
importantly how they communicate. Culture also has a significant influence and affects
the kind of transactions people are making and the way they are negotiating them.
Difference in culture between people can create a lot of barriers that completely and
negatively impacts the negotiating process. The diversity of the world’s culture makes
it very difficult and impossible for any negotiator no matter how skilled they are and
the amount of experience they hold, to appropriately and fully understand all the
different cultures that they make be encountered with. Therefore it is very obvious that
culture differences create a lot of barriers in the way of effective communication taking
place in in two different parties. Negotiation is also a part of communication which
means that the negotiator towards a particular objective, build relationship and resolve
different disputes. Many negotiators know that it is the most important to do they have
for successful negotiation to take place. Negotiation becomes more difficult and more
important to when the negotiator understand that the negotiation process includes two
different parties belonging to different cultures.
