GROUP COMMUNICATION A n extension of interpersonal communication where more than two individuals are involved in exchange of ideas, skills and interests. A group is a number of people with a common goal who interact with one another to accomplish their goals, recognize one another’s existence and see themselves as part of the group. Groups provide an opportunity for people to come together to discuss and exchange views of common interest.
GROUP COMMUNICATION Casually formed groups with friends over a drink, coffee break, games, dances or religious gatherings have a different purpose than that of groups attending a meeting or seminar to help fight COVID or interacting with committee members to draft a proposal.
GROUP COMMUNICATION Communication in a group , small or big, serves many goals including collective decision-making, self-expression, increasing one’s effect, elevating one’s status and relaxation. Group communication is considered effective : It provides an opportunity for direct interaction among the members of the group; it helps in bringing about changes in attitudes and beliefs. Group communication has limitations too : It is time consuming and often inefficient, especially in an emergency. I mbalances in status, skills and goals, may distort the process and the outcome sharply.
GROUP COMMUNICATION A small group comprises of three to seven members. Small groups are informal and less structured. Larger groups adopt formal rules to maintain order. There is more chance for individual participation in small groups. Small groups are easy to manage and are more efficient in accomplishing tasks and making decisions . Most researchers define a small group as having at least three and no more than twelve or fifteen members.

Public communication takes place when people gather in a group too large for everyone to talk and participate .

Vertical Communication Flows vertically upwards or downwards through formal channels. Upward communication refers to the flow of communication from a subordinate to a superior whereas downward communication flows from a superior to a subordinate. Application for grant of leave, submission of a progress report, request for loans etc. are some of the examples of upward communication. Sending notice to employees to attend a meeting, delegating work to the subordinates, informing them about the company policies, etc. are some examples of downward communication.
Horizontal Communication Horizontal or lateral communication takes place between one division and another. It happens among employees of the same cadre For example, a production manager may contact the finance manager to discuss the delivery of raw material or its purchase.
Grapevine communication It spreads rapidly, often gets distorted and it is very difficult to detect the source of such communication. It also leads to rumors which are not true. People’s behaviour is often affected by the rumors and informal discussions which sometimes may hamper the work environment. However, sometimes these channels may be helpful as they carry information rapidly and, therefore, may be useful to the manager at times.
