Communication Audit

Task: Assuming that effective communication is at the heart of organizing (weicl, 1957), then maintaining the health ( Goldhaber and Krivonos, 1977) of communication is an essential activity (Hargie, Tourish and Wilson, 2002). One means of assessing the communication within an organization is a communication audit. A communication audit is an evaluation of the strengths and weaknessess of an organization's internal communication processess and systems for the purpose of disgnosing communication problems and proposing strategies for improvement ( Goldhaber and Rogers, 1979; Zeinze-koning and de jong, p. 37,2018). Communication audits can focus upon any work related communication. However, for this report you must respond to one of the following options: 1. What are the key strengths and weakness of the flow of communication within an organization ( horizontal, diagonal , upward and downward- you do not need to address all four)? 2. What are the key strengths and weakness of the communication climate within the organization ( see defensive and supportive communication behavoiurs)? As the task description says focus is to be on how the communication is used in organising by telling organazing processess then tell the communication processess and seek out problems and then draw conclusions and strategies/ recommendations to overcome those problems. And to do so you need to select one known organization. Words limit is 2500 words excluding references and appencices.
