1. Sender: He is the person who sends his ideas to another person. In the communication process, the sender is the
individual who initiates a message and is also called the communicator or source of communication. The sender might
be a speaker, a writer, or someone who merely gestures. For example, if a manager wants to inform his subordinates
about the introduction of a new product, he is the sender.
2. Message: The idea, feeling, suggestion, guidelines, orders or any content which is intended to be communicated is
message. A message is defined as information conveyed by words (in speech or writing), and/or other signs and
symbols. A message (verbal or nonverbal, or both) is the content of the communication process. The originator of the
message in the communication process is the sender. The sender conveys the message to a receiver. For example,
message is the introduction of new product.

actions, diagram etc. For example, message is connected in words and actions.

5. Receiver: He is the person to whom the message has been sent. In the communication process, the "receiver" is the
listener, reader, or observer—that is, the individual (or the group of individuals) to whom a message is directed. The
receiver is also called the "audience" or decoder. The person who initiates a message in the communication process is
called the "sender." Put simply, an "effective" message is one that's received in the way that the sender intended.
Problems can arise on both ends that prevent the intended message from getting through to the receiver. For example,
subordinates are receivers.

7. Feedback: It is the response by the receiver. It marks the completion of the communication process. What is
Feedback The observation of the receiver’s response is called feedback. In other words, the part of the receiver’s
response communicated back to the sender is called feedback. Actually it is the amount of response of the receiver that
reaches to the sender. It enables the sender to evaluate the effectiveness of the message. Some definitions on feedback
are given below.
Encoding means the creation of a messages (which you want to communicate with other person). On the other hand
decoding means listener or audience of encoded message. So decoding means interpreting the meaning of the message.
For example a breakfast cereal company want to convey their message to you to buy its product. They will create an ad

message, what just been said.
