Communication is the process of passing information, experience,

function. If communication is diminished or hampered, the entire
organization suffers. When communication is thorough, accurate,
and timely, the organization tends to be vibrant and effective.
Communication is central to the entire management process for
four primary reasons:
Communication is a linking process of management
Communication is the primary means by which people obtain
and exchange information
The most time-consuming activity a manager engage in is
communication
Information and communication represent power in
organizations.

create opportunity for others. And that
role is largely about seeing the potential
in people and projects, and creating a
context where creativity can happen.
It implies measurement of accomplishment against
the standards and correction of deviation if any to

purpose of controlling is to ensure that everything
occurs in conformities with the standards. It has
following steps:
Establishment of standard performance
Measurement of actual performance
Comparison of actual performance with the
standards and finding out deviation if any.
Corrective action
Creative problem solving is a key skill in every
step of the functions of management, and by

functions of management. For achieving the
organizations ultimate goal, management
needs to work creatively in problem solving
