These must be interpreted and reacted on, normally through feedback before the communication process is completed. In business, the aim should be to develop communication patterns, between individuals and groups, that understandable, accurate, meaningful, direct, open, and honest. To be effective, the communicator must understand and appropriately target his/her audience, select and create appropriate message, deliver that message via an effective medium, and pay attention to the receiver's response. The recipient must listen carefully and well, and then provide useful and understandable feedback. Modalities to be studied include Web-based communication, e-mail, text-messaging, personal written correspondence, written reports, stand-up presentation, telephone conversation, forum boards, and face-to-face communications.
