Q.What is meant by Business Communication? Give its definition.

The word 'communication' comes from the Latin communis ('common'/'shared') — business communication applies this idea purposefully, within or around an organisation.

Meaning. 'Communication' derives from the Latin communis, meaning 'common' or 'shared' — to communicate is to make information or understanding common between two or more people. Business Communication applies this specifically within a business context: it is the exchange of information, ideas, facts, opinions, or instructions between two or more persons, within an organisation or between the organisation and outside parties, for the purpose of achieving a specific business objective.

What distinguishes it from ordinary conversation. Business communication is purposeful (aimed at a defined organisational goal), often follows a prescribed channel or format (a letter, circular, or report), and is frequently recorded and retained for future reference.

Definition. Business communication may be defined as the process of exchanging information, ideas, and instructions between individuals or groups within a business organisation, or between the organisation and its external stakeholders, with the objective of achieving efficient business operations and organisational goals.

Defining 'communication' in general terms only, without specifying the business purpose and organisational context that make it BUSINESS communication specifically.
