Discuss the 8 steps in the communication model

What will be an ideal response?

1. The sender has an idea. Whether a communication effort will ultimately be effective starts right here and depends on the nature of the idea and the motivation for sending it.
2. The sender encodes the idea as a message. When someone puts an idea into a message he or she is encoding it, or expressing it in words or images.
3. The sender produces the message in a transmittable medium. With the appropriate message to express an idea, the sender now needs a communication medium to present that message to the intended audience.
4. The sender transmits the message through a channel. The channel is the system used to deliver the message (such as a mobile phone).
5. The audience receives the message. If the channel functions properly, the message reaches its intended audience. However, mere arrival at the destination is no guarantee that the message will be noticed or understood correctly.
6. The audience decodes the message. After a message is received, the receiver needs to extract the idea from the message, a step known as decoding.
7. The audience responds to the message. Whether a receiver responds as the sender hopes depends on the receiver (a) remembering the message long enough to act on it, (b) being able to act on it, and (c) being motivated to respond.
8. The audience provides feedback to the sender. In addition to responding (or not responding) to the message, audience members may give feedback that helps the sender evaluate the effectiveness of the communication effort.
