Reflection of Learning Based Presentation

Question: Discuss about the Reflection of Learning Based Presentation. Answer: Introduction: During the course of my studies and as part of my academic curriculum, I prepared a report as well as presentation concerning the effects of business communication in an organization. The completed report and presentation was critically examined and subsequent feedbacks were sent to me that in turn helped me to better identify the inherent loopholes in my work thereby offering scopes for rectification and avoidance of future repetitions of the same mistakes. As per the markers comment I primarily recognized that I performed a major mistake by doing the entire task independently, while it was required to be completed as a group assessment. In the report I incorporated an executive summary that was to provide an overview of my discussions throughout the assignment. However, I missed out on including the main findings and recommendations and specific mention of the aspect of business communication that I intended to discuss in the entire report. I became aware that the table of contents needs to be numbered while writing a report. Further, address of specific problem pertaining to the given topic was missing. The main principle of business communication aiming to relaying information between people belonging to both within and outside the organization for the purpose of procuring commercial benefit (Beck, Bennett Wall, 2013). The problems associated with faulty business communication create gaps and loopholes in interacting with the clients as well as people belonging to the organization to deliver the best possible solutions. The primary causes linked to faulty business communication include undefined roles and responsibilities, faulty decision making authorities and processes, poorly designed business procedures, poorly designed organizational framework, improper association among people (Esser Hanitzsch, 2013). Therefore careful address of the identified issues relevant to a particular organization needs to be conducted to foster improved organizational function. The challenges and perspectives in an orga nization vary extensively and prudent and pragmatic organizational and leadership skills of the competent authorities may offer proper solutions to such issues. In referring to the types of business communication I did not mention about the specific models that are integral to the understanding of the given concept. For each of the chosen modes of communication, I forgot to mention the year of their proposal that is a vital aspect to assess the currency and relevancy of their application in the modern context. However I gave descriptions of some chosen models namely the Shannon and Weavers Model, Berlos Model and Schramms Model separately later in the text but lacked detailed meticulous approach and comparative analysis of each of the models. In business industry communication is considered as a vital determinant of smooth operation of the concerned organization (Grunig, 2013). Referring to the Shannon and Weavers Model of Business Communication, mainly six components are identified that mark the passage of communication across various persons consisting of sender, encoder, channel, decoder, receiver and noise. Empirical researches of modern times haves showcased the efficacy of the model across various set ups of the business communication. One such finding has highlighted the efficacy of this model in evaluating the success of the information systems in order to enhance the measurement practice among researchers and managers (DeLone McLean, 2016). As per the propositions of this model the sender after encoding the message is responsible for sending the message to the concerned receiver through an appropriate technological avenue or channel. In simpler words the sender is responsible for converting the message into codes that is plausible to the machine. Ultimately the receiver makes effort to decode the message prior to understanding it and thereafter interpreting meaningful conclusions out of it. In the process the channel may encounter noise that limit the receivers ability to decode the message and hence causing problems in optimum communication. The two ways communication pathway of this model needs to be clearly elaborated to explain the efficacy of this model. I did not refer to this aspect of the model that requires further analysis and description. In my report I had referred to a case study that dealt with the lack of communication issues that accounted for definite problems in the work culture of the given working se ctor. Referring to the case study I should have mentioned the specific and separate roles played by each of the stakeholders in the given circumstance to better understand and scrutinize the roles played by everyone involved in the process. While mentioning about the Berlos model I explained the model but did not connect it to the preceding models that may be referred as a modification of the Shannon and Weavers model. The scopes of this western model of business communication attempts to capture the primary interaction of language, medium, and message that allows communication through the socially structured aspects of each element. Interpersonal communication and mass communication studies may be conducted by means of this model (Bandhiya Joshi, 2016). Hence, I believe that subjected to thorough portrayal of the individual roles of each of the members in a business organization it will be more appropriate and convenient to suggest a suitable model of communication for operation (McQuail Windahl, 2015). Moreover, I think that specific recommendations pertaining to the case study should be provided with utmost clarity and proper justifications to offer feasible solutions to a given scenario. The comments pertaining to the feedbacks received I understood that a thorough understanding related to the significance of business communication is essential. The digital marketing skills gaps relevant to the communication industries have been extensively researched in many studies. The findings highlighted that the seamless blending of digital skills with current marketing strategies is a crucial challenge for the marketing professionals and researchers (Royle Laing, 2014). I gained succinct knowledge for each of the models after careful analysis of the reviewers response. Finally, reviewing the markers comment I find that in conclusion section no new information that has not been elaborately discussed in the preceding text should be provided. In this manner, confusion of the readers in compr ehending a particular topic may be avoided. As per the markers feedback I feel there is room for enough improvement at future hours with further provision for in depth analysis of each of the models related to business communication (Turnitsa, 2013). Hence paying close attention to the feedback received, I came to acquire succinct knowledge regarding the given topic that further enhanced my level of personal understanding and contributed towards personal growth.
