Organizational Communication

Within the communication (the activity of conveying meaningful information), there are important concepts:

• Language: the words, their pronunciation, and the methods of combining them used and understood by a group of people
• Data: uninterpreted and unanalyzed facts
• Information: data that have been interpreted, analyzed,  and have meaning to some user.

Types of Communication:

• One way/Two-way: Whether if there are one or two parts interacting in the communication. 
• Verbal/non-verbal Communication: verbal is the speaking process of communication, but there are other ways of communication such as Visual, Oral or written.
• Computer-Mediated: using a computer as the main tool of communication.

Proxemics is the space between one and another person in communication and depending on it, it shows a different relation with the person and your purpose.

Barriers to communication:

• Physical separation
• Status differences
• Gender differences
• Cultural diversity
• Language

Virtual Teams: It is basically the use of technology to connect two or more people that are located in other place and in that way, having no boundaries when working in teams. It is very revolutionary because if differs from the traditional team and open a window to cooperation globally. But also has negatives things such as no face to face interaction that does not allow to get to know the people very well and it may be more complex to get together a big amount of people into a virtual team.
