Introduction
Organizational communication perspectives refer to the different approaches a person can take to evaluate interactions among individuals working in an organization. There are three approaches in evaluating an interaction between employees in an organization, which are (1) Traditional perspective, (2) Interpretive perspective, and (3) Critical perspective (Papa, Daniels & Spiker, 2007). Those perspectives describe and illustrate the flow of information or messages within an organization. Organizational communication perspectives consider both the internal and external communication environment. However, the goal for organizational communication perspectives is to deliver the correct information or messages in the proper way. In addition, new management theories aim to improve communication within an organization. Management theories such as scientific, classical, and human relations help to increase productivity and efficiency of individuals in an organization. More than one theory can apply to a single organization. However, choosing a management theory depends on the nature of the organization and the size of the workforce. This research paper will discuss the three organizational communication perspectives, various management theories, and how they can apply on the Four Season hotels. The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is a Canadian company that has been operating

The “real world” is coming soon. The moment we all wait for, the moment we are able to put on our graduation caps, and have the sense of relief. We’re done! But as the soon-to-be graduates are handed their diplomas, and we being the search, some of dread. A recurring theme in recent graduate job search is the lack of experience factor. "Where do I get experience if no one is willing to hire me?" “What will set our resume apart from the rest?” Easy answer, internships. Many students focus on gaining experience with internships to add to the resume. Work experience makes you more marketable as a job candidate; it also gives you the opportunity to fully understand the field you have chosen. Then you can truly enter your field with your eyes wide open. Employers are not only looking for experience, but the right experience.
When a company newly hires an employee, there is a certain degree of expectation from both the employee and employer. These expectations are either discussed during meetings or simply implied. The intercommunication between supervisor and subordinate depends on the company’s management style. According to Renis Likert, “the system 4 management theory contains management styles that range from low concern for workers to high concern for workers” (Enfante, Rancer & Avtgis, 2010, p. 305). Whether or not supervisors discuss matters with an employee, under Likert’s theory, depends on how concerned a supervisor is for their workers.

To be an effective communicator is to have the ability to respond with skill, confidence, and assertiveness and is pertinent to the quality and expertise business professionals considered for employment.

The topic of communication plays is a vital aspect in the business community. The process of delivering a message is a process that describes conveying thoughts to others (Robbins & Judge, 2009, p. 352). The message delivered varies in mediums to an audience that receives the purpose from the speaker (p. 352). The steps that occur display key aspects during the communication process that are sending, receiving, and feedback (p. 353). Next, this research will examine the process of communication in an organization for management to synergize the corporate vision.
Communication is one of the most essential tools in management, however, effective communication is difficult to achieve when you have 150 direct reports. I rely heavily on the charge nurses, however, they have varied abilities in effectively communicating information to the staff. Consequently, there is often a lack of clarity in the communication complete miscommunication to the staff via the charge nurses. Clearly one of the most efficient ways to communicate important information to staff is face-to-face, unfortunately, with as many subordinates as I am responsible for, it is impossible to reach all of them (Marx, 2014). In addition, it can be difficult to determine how much information to communicate without overwhelming staff.
Moreover, the global employee survey that formed the basis of this cultural shift uncovered values that were typical of a human behaviour approach to organisational communication (Shockley-Zalabak, 2006, p. 67); a theoretical viewpoint that considers effective communication as central to an organisation’s performance (Shockley-Zalabak, 2006, pp. 78–79). Consequently, in the wake of the recent organisational changes, a thorough evaluation of the internal communication practices is required.

Managers have used different organizational structures in combination with communication models to make their employees feel comfortable. However, not all organizations have produce good outcomes do to the organizational communication framework they have chosen. Wrong combinations have inclusive cause a disaster for some organizations. What type of combinations are beneficial for an organization? Which combination will cause a disaster? Are some of the questions managers have to ask them selves. Managers should be conscious of the differences between the different types of organizational structures and communication models in order to choose the adequate combination for their organizations. In what follows we will review the different organizational structures, communicational models, and discuss which combinations will work and which one will cause a disaster.

Effective communication is appropriate for an organization to deliver and support its messages about quality to the audience and develop appropriate measures to develop appropriate strategies for tone at the top. It is significant for firms to identify the potential opportunities to improve its quality aspects among employees and to create a work culture that embraces quality. A panel on audit effectiveness has made certain suggestions and recommendations to support improved performance of high quality professional roles and responsibilities (Soltani & Maupetit, 2013). Such expectations are appropriate in improving the ability of the firm’s leaders to expand the assurance practice. The organization should also create a panel to recommend the firm’s leadership to support a positive and importance message to enhance performance.
