Culture, context & Communication

In my lecture on Consumer Culture, context & communication I learned    how the culture is defined and developed in an organization. Even the importance of communication and how it is processed inside the firm by exploring the communication medium, the employee’s behavior even their well-being within the work place. In the other side how the professionals interact towards their employees with their managerial style. Mainly “The way the things are done in the organization”.
What is competing values?
Competing values is about understanding how to appreciate conflicting values and integrate them successfully so that the organization is open to collaborate and growth.
The goal is that leaders should become adroit at two conflicting values (DeGraff identifies a total of four competing values). We train leaders so that they develop the ability to oversee teams that work towards opposite goals, integrating them when the timing is right, so that each value can be developed successfully. The result is companies that are creative, while meeting high quality control standards and that are open and collaborative, but also maintain their competitive edge.

The communication process:
effective communication is vital to all businesses. The communication process involves: sender, message, medium, receiver and feedback.
There are a number of parts to any communication. For instance, sending a text message involves:

-the sender - the person writing the text
-the receiver - the person to whom the message is addressed
-the content of the message - for example, news, information, an invitation
-the format of the message - in this example it is text but many other different ways are possible
-the communication channel through which the message is sent - in this case a mobile phone network
-The medium - how the message will be sent, in this case it is in writing.

This is how communication manifests in an organization.
