Communication


Communication is the transfer of information from one person or entity to another. It is a communication in which information is transferred by a sender to a receiver through some medium. Every form of communication requires a sender, a message and a receiver.

There are two types of communication:

External communication: External communication refers to the communication which involves interaction of employers or employees with those outside their own organization. This type of communication includes community organizations, public employers, career offices, agencies etc.

Internal communication: Internal communication is basically communication between departments and employees across all levels of organization. The main objective of this type of communication is to inform the employees working within the organization about organization’s direction and performance.

Main communication forms that Universal Studios use are:

Virtual Office Management


The term virtual conversation refers to the conversation that is done through instant messaging or social networking websites. Virtual office mostly contains a computer, a printer and also a webcam for video conferencing. In virtual office management, the employees of Universal Studios work in their homes or any other place other than the organization. They conduct meeting with each other by seeing on the computer screens without leaving their desks. However, the employees enjoy as they do not have to report the company on regular basis.


CAL message broadcast email

The CAL message broadcast system is managed by Universal Studios resource centre which approves the access and set the guidelines of accessing this system. The system helps the top executives to send mails, announcements and other information to staff members of all departments who have email address in CAL net directory. Messages sent through this system go out every night so as to avoid overload of the email system. It also helps to gain feedback and viewpoints of employees through incoming email.
