controlling. It is the capability to effectively communicate. More than fifty percent time is spent
within the communicating. Communication within the organization can be done from top to
bottom or top to bottom. The formal communication follows organization structure chain and
reflects the availability of the legitimate power. Informal communication is based on relationship
within the different peers of similar level. Channels used to transfer information from one level
to another level efficiently. The communication channel is very important as help to access the
information anytime. One of the effective tools is office 365 as the cloud based for the team
work. This is very effective to bond with the associates across the world that help members of
the team to access the work and video calls with the counterparts. It also helps the workers to
have personal life balance. The channel of communication is accepted by the organization
executives (Van Aken, and Romme, 2019).
