What are Formal Communication Networks ? Explain the five patterns briefly.
Formal communication networks is an arrangement of interconnected people and processes through formal lines of communication and flow of information. The five patterns are as follows:
(i) Wheel network: In a wheel network, the communication passes through a person in the centre.
(ii) Circular network: A circular flow of communication occurs among two neighbours of each subordinate.
(iii) Chain network: This network of communication follows the organisational hierarchy and chain of command. All subordinates receive commands or instructions from their immediate superior.
(iv) Inverted V network: Inverted V involves rapid communication between the subordinates, their superiors, and their superiors.
(v) Free-flow network: In a free flow network, all subordinates can freely communicate with each other.
