Language development in classroom communication

The backbone of any communication process is language. Language can thus be described as the means of passing information between two parties (Robertson, 2002).

Marketing strategies have recently changed based on the emergence of more cost-effective as well as diverse digital channels of marketing. Traditionally, marketing entailed “P” strategies that did not play any meaningful role in the establishment and maintenance of customer-company relationships.

These general assumptions normally create a “push-based” ...

Introduction

For the longest time, management theories were limited to the behavioural characteristics of the people in leadership roles and their consequent relations with their subordinates. This approach is commonly referred to as a top-down due to its vertical nature. In a top-down scenario of leadership, the management not only influences the subordinates but also literarily micromanages them in every aspect. However, in the past few decades, organizational behaviourists have proposed a different ideology that asserts productivity in an organizational set-up is maximized if and only if leadership is shared among all employees.
