INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
The art and science of human communication have been a source of fascination and interest from ancient times to the present day.
Communication with others is such a fundamental aspect of human functioning that it is almost impossible to conceive of life without it. It is through communication and interaction with others that our lives are given meaning.
Communication activities impinge on various ways on all aspects of our lives and we have a seemingly endless appetite for communication and interaction.
Being a good communicator is recognized as an essential asset in getting along with other people and having a successful career.
In the world of work, good communication is seen as an essential ingredient of a successful company.
This includes both external communications (for example with customers, suppliers, and other agencies) and internal communication (for example between departments or between team members).
