Hi S.H. Punekar,
According to my logic, every action has an equal, opposite, and simultaneous reaction as per Newton's laws of motion. The same logic applies to communication. Please let me know whether you subscribe to this reasoning of mine.

Dear Punekar,
First, you need to understand what communication is. Communication is nothing but sharing information between two or more people. It depends on both parties. If one person does not understand properly or does not convey the intended meaning effectively, it can lead to misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the actual situation. That's why communication is a two-way process.

Dear Friend,
It's called a two-way process because when you communicate, there are two subjects involved here: a) the person who is communicating, and b) the person/s listening.
For example, when you talk to your friend, two people are involved. When you are talking to a group, two sides are involved. When you are writing, one side is you (you are writing your thoughts), and the receiving side is the people who read what you have written (that is the second subject here).
So, it's very important that not only are you sure of what you are saying, but also that people who are listening to you are sure they understood it the right way.
Hope this helps you :-)

Dear Asha,
I agree with you, but the most important part of communication is complete when the person who received the message also replies to the sender. If they do not reply, the communication is not complete. Communication is always complete when both the sender and receiver reply, like in a phone conversation. Just sending the message is not considered communication; it is complete when the recipient also replies. That's how it's called a two-way process, whether it's written in a telephonic conversation or through mail.

1. Management of an organization is effective only when its communication machinery is effective. The very existence of management depends upon an effective machinery of communication. Effective communication machinery is important because it communicates and helps in implementing the policies and objectives of the organization on the one hand, and also helps in understanding the nature and behavior of the people at work.
2. Management communication is a two-way process. It means that the management must allow both the parties - the management and the subordinates to convey their feelings, ideas, opinions, facts, grievances, etc., to the other party. Communication is said to be a continuous process of exchange of views and ideas, but it should be both ways - downward and upward.
3. The communication machinery or process should not only provide the manager with the privilege of communicating orders and directions to the workers to get the work done towards the achievement of organizational objectives as pleaded by the classical theory of organizational behavior known as Theory X by McGregor, but the workers also must be given a right to approach the management and communicate their complaints, grievances, opinions, facts, suggestions, etc., which may be in response to the orders or directions received from the management, or in the interest of the organization, contributing to the achievement of its objectives.
4. This two-way traffic is advantageous to both the management and the workers. Managers, very often, like that the subordinates must listen to them and follow their orders and directions whatsoever. On the other hand, managers are not prepared to listen to their subordinates regarding what they think about them and of their suggestions, ideas, or directions. They are not bothered about their subordinates' likes and dislikes and how they can contribute to the organizational objectives. Management, in this way, cannot be effective. Without giving subordinates an opportunity to be heard, their feelings will remain suppressed, and they may break down at any time.
5. A message can be interpreted by the recipient according to the image of the communicator in the mind of the recipient. If the image is bad, the version of the message may be distorted and interpreted differently. The bad image can be erased through proper communication from the other side, which is possible only when there is two-way communication in the organization.
6. Thus, the creation of organizational systems allowing two-way traffic will improve the morale of the workers on the one hand because they think that they have a say in the management, and will improve the working of the organization on the other hand because management-worker relations develop in a cordial atmosphere. Thus, two-way communication is necessary for effective management.

Communication is a two-way process in which individuals are able to understand each other. From what I learned from my previous course, communication has five elements: the sender, the message, the receiver, the feedback, and the channel of communication. Without these elements, communication has no use at all. But most importantly, communication cannot be effective without feedback. That's why it's called a two-way process because after the sender sends the message, the receiver should be able to interpret it by means of feedback. :)
