Answer 1

Every international company has a fixed inter and interdepartmental structure where different departments work in close conjugation for smooth flow of work. An international company must emphasis on strengthening their medium of communication to ensure that every department receive or sends information on time and issues which has to be addressed gets the attention on time. The reason why effective communication is required between different departments is that any miscommunication or loss of information can result to a series of blunders that ultimately halts the growth of company. Different departments that work at every vertical of the company has to work in collaboration so that work that need to be implemented are addressed with mutual consent. In case at any point any breakdown happens in communication then it sure going to lead to conflicts either in the same department or within different departments. Conflicts are not good especially for the company's sales and growth. After the conflict, the blame game begins and that takes the issue further. Due to the blame game different departments got engaged in the conflict and it surely affects the entire company's sales. The accurate exchange of information between departments enhances the ability to meet sales projections, to get good to distribution points and to have documents and contracts reviewed by the proper people.

Thus the international companies keep on upgrading their mediums of communication so that human errors remain at their lowest and complete information can be passing on to the authorized recipients. A proper communication between different departments not only help in proper functioning of the company but aids to better sales and thus better generation of revenue.
