BA 3301 Lecture Notes - Lecture 74: Interpersonal Communication, Organizational Communication, Business Communication
Document Summary
Interpersonal communication is communication between or among people. For interpersonal communication to happen at least two people are needed. Interpersonal communication can be either dyadic- two persons communication or small group. Small group communication requires a minimum of three people. The number of people involved in a small group communication should not be many persons (public). Some researchers in the area say that the maximum number of persons in a small group communication should not exceed 15. In interpersonal communication there is direct and person to person interaction and more chance for feedback. Public communication is communication with a public i. e. audience of several persons. In public communication the public is mainly receiver. The sender and receiver may not know each other. And the feedback from the audience is expected to be limited. Organizational communication includes the first three levels, namely intrapersonal, interpersonal, and public communication.
