ABSTRACT
This study aims at investigating the effect of business communication on the decision-making process in FBN by examining the role of Modern Communication Technologies (MCTs), business communication methods, and employees’ communication skills in the decision-making process.
The research population consists of all employees in the low-level management, middle level xiii , and top-level management (446 in number).
A stratified random according to managerial level was utilized in order to ensure that particular managerial levels within the study population are adequately represented in the sample.
Three hundred and forty employees participated in the survey. A total of 279 were returned for a response rate of 82.1%, and seven of them were not valid.
The results of this study revealed that there is a significant correlation between MCTs and the decision-making process.
MCTs were found to make attaining information easier and increase efficiency through teamwork and effective decision-making.
MCTs also motivate employees to participate with their ideas. In addition, this study revealed that there is a significant correlation between business communication methods and the decision-making process.
Employees were receptive to the use of oral communication methods for complex tasks.
This study also found out that written communication methods are utilized to easily identify the problems encountered.
