...Bisnar, Kathryn G. 3FM5 Case Study 11 1. What barriers to communication are evident in this fable? One barrier of communication evident in this fable is filtering. This occurs when you don’t like someone in the organization and we decide to leave out critical details or pointers that would help him or her be more successful in getting things done. Basil is afraid to how will the old man will respond to the bad news that is why he filtered the information and did not tell the whole truth about the new herd taking over their territory. He is afraid that the old man might shout on his face and rave. Even though things aren’t going well in their territory, Basil told the Old Man that things are well and there’s nothing to worry about. This has lead to the Old Man believing that everything is going so well. If Basil was only brave enough to tell Old Man the truth, Old man might have prevented the departure of other walruses to the new herd. In this story, there seemed to have a “mum effect” which occurs when people are reluctant to communicate bad news. Basil clearly was reluctant to deliver the real and bad news to Old Man. 2. What communication “lessons” does this fable offer to those who are serious about careers in the new workplace? In the new workplace, our channels of communication should be open may it be actively or passively. The real information should be told no matter how bad it may be. Failure to communicate the whole truth might affect the organization...

...In this essay we will be discussing the four barriers in communication and also which barrier is the easiest to overcome and why it is easy to overcome. The first barrier of communication is the emotional barrier. This barrier can be displayed in either the person who is listening or the person who is talking. This barrier can be caused from when the speaker is inputting a personal spin on the discussion and causing the information to be allowed to have personal input instead of facts. The emotional barrier can also be a way for a person to help keep their self-esteem up. Some of the emotional barriers are depression and psychological problems. Some of the ways to help with addressing problems with the emotional barrier is using peer support systems and also pairing peer support systems and professional help from a psychologist. The second barrier of communication is physical barriers. The physical barrier is caused by environmental factors that make it difficult to communicate. Some of the physical barriers are a rigid chain of command, equipment malfunctions, and obstruction that will slow down or hinder the flow of information. Ways to help keep this barrier from being a nascence is to keep more officers closer together, keep equipment functioning properly, and make sure that all officers have the information that is needed to continue with the case. The third barrier of communication is semantic barrier. This barrier is caused by an inability to agree on meaning in...

...Using Language Effectively Christina Newell 08/24/15 Ms. Erin von Buseck COM/200 When using language effectively, it is best to know and to identify the listening barriers you have experienced, and explain their effects, and determine the appropriate listening strategies and responses during verbal communication. A situation from my life when I had trouble hearing is now because I have a mild hearing loss as it is now. The two barriers that were present was close-mindedness, assumptions, and defensiveness. The close-mindedness barrier contributed to my inability to listen effectively because I am stubbornly unreceptive to new ideas and I am intolerable of beliefs and opinions of others. The assumptions are the statements that I have assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can and will be drawn and this gave me the inability to listen effectively because I don't listen to what is being said in the statements or comments. The defensiveness is a primal response to feeling attacked\, misunderstood, threatened, or even disrespected because being able to feel unprotected by others is being defensive and a response to feeling attacked, misunderstood, threatened, or even disrespected causes myself a little discomfort for myself and I am sure others as well. Learning how to cope with these barriers is easy but yet hard to as well because you have to teach yourself all over again. For example: learning how to not make as many assumptions as you have in the past, learning how...

...Task 4: Overcoming barriers to communication The four key barriers to communication are process barriers, personal barriers, physical barriers, and semantic barriers. As an effective manager, I will have to overcome these barriers. The first barrier that I would have to overcome is the process barrier. 1). Process barriers: The process of communication involves a sender of information and a receiver of information. Communication can be defined as the process of transmitting information and common understanding from one person to another. There has to be a common understanding in the exchange of information. This is called the process of communication. The process of communication can break down. Every step of the communication process is necessary for effective and good communication . Any step that is blocked in the process can be a barrier. The way to overcome the process barrier is to make sure that all phases of the communication process are being used effectively from the sender to the encoder, from the encoder to the decoder, and from the decoder to the receiver. The language that is being spoken must be able to be understood. That is the bottom line in overcoming the process barriers to communication. Clarity, purpose, and proper planning are important to overcoming process barriers in communication. The end of this process is for the receiver to respond or react to the sender. This is called feedback. The kind of feedback that is given will be...

...Barriers to Great Communication There are seven types of Barriers to Communication. Many people think that communicating is easy. It is after all something we do all our lives. There is some truth in this view. Communicating is straightforward. What makes it complex, difficult, and frustrating are the barriers we put in the way. Physical barriers Physical barriers in the workplace include: marked out territories, empires and fiefdoms into which strangers are not allowed closed office doors, barrier screens, and separate areas for people of different status large working areas or working in one unit that is physically separate from others. Research shows that one of the most important factors in building cohesive teams is proximity. As long as people still have a personal space that they can call their own, nearness to others aids communication because it helps us get to know one another. Perceptual barriers The problem with communicating with others is that we all see the world differently. If we didn’t, we would have no need to communicate: something like extrasensory perception would take its place. The following anecdote is a reminder of how our thoughts, assumptions and perceptions shape our own realities Emotional barriers One of the chief barriers to open and free communications is the emotional barrier. It is comprised mainly of fear, mistrust and suspicion. The roots of our emotional mistrust of others lie in our childhood and infancy when we were taught to be...

...1 Barriers Barriers to Effective Communication Paper Robin Mravik Due Date: Monday October 10, 2011 CJA/304 Instructor: Janette Nichols 2 When it comes to communicating with people in our daily lives, there are many people that think there is just talking and listening to the other people in the communicating process. However, there is actually five step in the communication process; which are as follows: 1.) sending the message out to someone, 2.) sending the message through a medium, 3.) receiving the message , 4.) understanding the message the person had sent, and 5.) giving your feedback to the individual that had sent the message to you. 1.) Sending the message: with this step in communication, this is where a person gathers their thoughts about what they want to say in the message, and then comes to the conclusion that this what that needs to be said. Although we have thoughts about different things every day, there are many of them that should be kept to ourselves. 2.) Sending the message through a medium: once the person has decided what he or she needs to be said, now it is time where the brain decides how the message should be sent. Whether it is in written form, in an email, a text message, or in a letter. It can also be received through speaking to the person face-to-face or on the telephone. The message can also be given in the body language the person is presenting. 3.) Receiving the message: in this third...

...Barriers to Effective Communication Candace Levan CJA/304 Dennis McManimon October 16, 2011 In any organization effective communication is an important part. Effective Communications is comprised of several parts. The processes and components must be comprehended in order to become an effective listener and communicator. Information can be relayed both verbal and non-verbal and it relayed and received effectively between either two people or a group of people. Communication has two processes which are sending and receiving but is made up of several components that make it effective. A thought or thoughts are formed and then the sender wants to express the idea(s). The information is then sent through a form of medium, which the person(s) receives and interprets the information in order to understand. The receiver can then provide feedback to the sender. The communication process is not possible without listening. Listening to someone and hearing them are two different things. “Hearing defines only the physical measurement of the sound waves that are transmitted to the ear and into the brain where they are processed into audible information (Hellesvig-Gaskell, 2011)”. Listening is when a person pays attention to the words that are being communicated to them with the intent of understanding the other person that is communicating (Hellesvig-Gaskell, 2011). And example would be a child playing a video game and the babysitter tells him five more minutes and he replies...

...Kampala International University Abdifatah Adan Egeh Course work material +256718275925 caloolgeele@hotmail.com Introduction The analysis of barriers to entry and exit is fundamental to the assessment of market power and market efficiency. A firm or firms may exercise market power for a significant period of time only if barriers to new entry exist. Thus in determining whether or not a proposed merger is against the public interest, or whether a firm (or firms) is abusing monopoly or market power in antitrust cases, analysis of entry conditions is of primary importance. One might therefore expect to see rather extensive and sophisticated analyses of entry conditions, or barriers to entry, in monopoly and merger cases that come before competition authorities in the United States, United Kingdom, or member states of the European Union (EU). One might also expect that competition authorities would have placed a great deal of emphasis and effort on achieving a coherent and consistent framework for the analysis of entry barriers in a manner that makes use of the latest thinking on the subject by industrial organization economists. However, until very recently no competition authority that we are aware of has attempted to formulate a coherent and detailed framework for the analysis of barriers to entry, despite the significant degree of effort that has been put into clarifying the related problems of market definition and the measurement of monopoly or market power....
