Some questions an organizational
communication expert has to
answer:
• the organizational problem,
• who actually influences this problem
• which individuals should be influenced in
what they know, feel and do,
• which media they use,
• which places they visit,
• to which people and brands they are
open,
• for what message they may be sensitive.

Stimulus – Response model
Stimulus  Response

SR

In communication:
Sender  message  Receiver

Coding& decoding by means of
a code


An ancient telegraph : fire and
water
The first recorded telegraph was built by a Greek military author
named Aeneas around 350 BC.
Aeneas was frustrated by the limitations of beacon signals - you can
only signal that something has happened, not what has happened.
He used water to add time division - allowing different messages to
be sent.
A flaming torch gave the start signal for both sender and receiver to
allow the water to run out of out of identically sized vessels in
which corks were floating, with rods attached.
As the water went down, so would the rods, each marked with a series
of possible messages.
When the desired message aligned with the rim of the jar, the sender
would signal again with the torch, and the other station to replace
the bung. The receiver would then read off the message shown on
the rod.

Communicate
to / with
• The word ‘communication’ has been
derived from the Latin word ‘communis’
which means ‘to make common’.
• This can be understood as:
– Communicate to: I know, I tell you, and : sending
then we both know.
– Communicate with: We know things, : ABX
tell each other about it, together we
create a common understanding.

Communication
• Old vision:

Gerbner’s model
Man or machine:
• Journalist
• (web) camera
Source/ Transmitter
• etc.

Perception of Event Media/ Channels:
used by M to
produce Statement
M becomes Source:
about Event
• M produces Statement
• about Event

Factors that might affect fidelity
of Perception & Media:
• selection
• context
http://madanmani.com.np/?p=92 • availability

Communication (according to
Stappers):
S communication process

R information process

S R communication event


Sending & Receiving;
Participants in a ‘game’.

S R Sending & Receiving + feedback

S R Sender = Receiver

A B Participants in a ‘game’
