Communication can simply be defined as the transmission of information with the purpose of influencing the receiver. Although communication has pervasive application to all phases of managership.

This paper looked into the case of the necessity of effective communication. Yet there is less agreement on the exact definition communication may be looked as the means by which social input are fed into social system. Any as a binder communication provides information that simultaneously guides both the smallest sub limits and the entire complex towards organizational goal accomplishment. Communication is essential for the internal functioning of any organization because it integrates the management function. It is through information exchange that the heads of division know how their worker performs.
