Communication might be regarded as the transmission of information by an initiator, in such a way that it is intelligible to a recipient. Communication might be regarded as effective if it evokes a desired response. This means that data and other codes need to be linked and presented in a meaningful way. In organisations, attention should be paid to the non-verbal aspect of communication. Certain aspects of non-verbal communication might be un-intentional and might give the recipient the wrong impression and alter the meaning of the oral aspect.

Communication might be regarded as a fundamental factor in the existence of entities including organisation. In organisations:

• Colleagues need to be kept informed of their counterparts’ work.

• Managers need to provide information regarding policy initiatives, strategic, tactical and operational strategies, instructions and advice to their subordinates

• Managers need to be informed of problems that workers are experiencing in order to provide the help and advice that are vital to the effectiveness of the subsystem and, eventually, the system as a whole. Each subsystem requires information in order to effectively execute its function, remaining in contact with other subsystem and corporate management.

• Corporate managers need to have sufficient information available to them so as to exercise control over the functioning of the various subsystems and the organisation as a whole. This will involve the formulation and implementation of crucial decisions. The information from subsystems will be needed by strategic managers so as to respond effectively to current activities and their results. This may be as specific information regarding production and sales levels and the effectiveness of particular strategies - such as those related to resource acquisition and utilisation, operation and marketing. Generally, communication needs to be transmitted within and across different command groups with regard to different aspects of organisational functioning such as:

• Plans and strategies for their implementation

• Resource needs and allocation

• Progress and development of Programmes

• Decisions

• Problems

• Emergencies and contingencies

• Individual, subsystem and system needs and functions.

Because of the importance of communication, it is vital that we aware of the factors that can reduce its effectiveness. This will enable us to take the necessary steps to avert or eliminate these barriers. Communication barriers include:

• Hierarchy

• Boss Consciousness

• Mistrust

• Technical language and Data

• Language

• Cultural differences

• Power distance

• Emotion

Other relevant aspects of communication include:

• Organisational structure and communication

• Personality and Communication

• Cross-cultural communication

• Sub-cultural communication

• Gender relations and communication

• Communication and managerial effectiveness

• Technology-enhanced Communication

• Organisational structure and communication

  HRODC Postgraduate Diploma Typology

   

  HRODC would like to initiate and maintain a typology that will distinguish between its 3 main categories of Postgraduate Diploma:

  1. HRODC General Postgraduate Diploma
  2. HRODC Specialist Postgraduate Diploma
  3. HRODC Cumulative Postgraduate Diploma

  HRODC General Postgraduate Diploma refers to the Postgraduate Diploma, which consists of generic courses, taken within a three-year period.

   

  HRODC Specialist Postgraduate Diploma must be construed to mean a Postgraduate Diploma that consists of related courses. These include: HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in human resource management (HRM); HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive human resource management (HRM); HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Executive Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Real Estate Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Women in Management; HRODC postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Project Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Communication and Information Management.

   

  HRODC Cumulative Postgraduate Diploma relates to a Diploma that is granted through the addition of courses taken at intervals over a 3-year period. This type of Postgraduate Diploma might include both General and Specialist groupings. The requirement incorporates the ‘180-HourRule’, wherein a delegate should accumulate at least 180 study-hours, in order to qualify for a Postgraduate Diploma. This requirement includes a minimum of 120 hours Direct Lecturer Contact and a minimum of 60 hours supervised or self-directed study.

   

  HRODC’s Quality Assurance

  The 50% minimum attainment requirement for the HRODC Postgraduate Diploma and HRODC Diploma - Postgraduate - is an attestation to our concern for quality and exceptional performance. This ‘standard’ is in line with most British Universities, some having recently moved away from their traditional 40% attainment requirement. One of the several ways in which HRODC assures academic and professional quality is to ensure that most of its consultants hold a PHD in the their areas of specialism. The lowest qualification of any consultant at HRODC is an MA and, or, MSc. These qualifications are in addition to relevant experience and continuous development. While most applicants to HRODC Postgraduate Diploma and HRODC Diploma - Postgraduate - Programmes are holders of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees, some being Professors of internationally renowned Universities, others do not hold a degree but have substantial work and life experience to excel in the courses.
