Communicational Devices

Communicational Devices

Terms of Reference

------------------

I am a pupil at College, and am doing a report on

communicational devices within a business/organisation work place. To

do this I will send out questionnaires to the employees in the

businesses and interview a variety of people at different levels in

the company's hierarchy, e.g. managers. I will research into internal

and external methods of communication and the advantages and

disadvantages of each. I will show my findings and give

recommendations to the businesses to help them to improve

communicational devices within the business/organisation.

Findings

--------

I am doing my investigation on Cammell Laird Shipyard in Birkenhead; I

will be interviewing an senior security guard, William Luke Edwards

who's job, involves the security of the vessels, the heath and safety

of the men, and also to stop dangers hazards happening e.g. Naked

flames by fuel tank ect, and also interviewing civilians whom apply

for a job as a security guard at the ship yard. When applying for the

job Mr Edwards had to sign the Nation Secrets Act 1 & 2, to keep the

communication in the business safe.

I think the communication devices that will be used within the

business are:

* Two-way radios

* Reports

* E-mail/network

* Memos

* Telephone

* Meetings

* Notices

* Letters

I believe the purpose of good communication is to keep a

business/organisation running efficiency; it produces a positive

public appearance, eliminates errors and helps mange problems quickly

... recommend is Philips PPF411 Plain Paper Fax,

it has a built in telephone and photocopier. The fax machine also has

a vertical paper-handling device making it even easier. With this fax

10 pagers can be sent at one time instantly or delayed. This fax can

make copies of documents smaller than A4, it prints from an ink film

on standard A4. The Philips PPF411 Plain Paper Fax has 10 ring tone

melodies, CLI (subject to network), name dial and volume control, and

much, much more. (Please see appendix for more details on Fax machines

all information based on the spring/summer 2003 Argos catalogue).

From doing on research on the company, by interviewing Mr Edwards and

doing questionnaires, I do not think I could make any other

Recommendations because, the company is running affectively with the

other communicational devices.
