Mauriccio:

Business Letters, Memos and Internal Report Memos all have a common theme that they are based around. They are all professionally written, legal documents used for business. They must all be single-spaced, with a date and header, and must have a sincere closing and signature. From reviewing the three sites I learned that an email is a sufficient format for a memo. I was not aware of this as I had thought a memo to have to have its own specific format. Other than that, it was nice to know that I have been writing business letters correctly as well as memos. However, if I understood this correctly, I found internal report memos (or memorandums) to be a more specific type of memo. If anyone else can shed any more light on this it would be much appreciated. I want to be able to fully differentiate between them.

Jeremy:

The communication barrier that is most powerfully affecting the communication process in the workplace would be poor timing. When information is needed to be passed around to employees, that information needs to be properly timed in order for the information to take proper effect. By not properly timing the relaying of information, it may lead to the message losing its purpose, not being absorbed by as many employees as needed, and even that information losing its purpose because another option has become more viable. In order for any communication process to be successful, it requires acceptance on both ends. If one end is giving information, but the other end is not being receptive, than the information dies and is no longer effective, leading the communication barriers. Therefore, by addressing the poor timing of information beforehand, the communication barrier can be properly handled which will make sure that the information is clear, concise, and on time.
