Communication is the act of passing on news, information, a request, etc. To be in communication with someone means to be in touch, speaking or writing to one another.

There are oral (meeting, conferences, etc) and written (letters, e-mail, memos, etc.) communication media. Words may sound or look precise, but they are not. All sorts of barriers exist between the communicator and the receiver. Unless these barriers are overcome the message will be distorted or will not get through. That is why there are certain rules in business communications that should be observed.
