Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A: Organisational communication flows downwards, upwards and horizontally within its network of inter­dependent relations.

Reason R: Organisational communication is not necessary to achieve the organisation's objectives.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Organizational communication is a subfield of communication studies that focuses on all aspects of communication and information flow. 

Key PointsAssertion A: Organisational communication flows downwards, upwards and horizontally within its network of inter­dependent relations.

• In an organisation, information can move in four different directions: down, up, across, and diagonally. 
• The majority of the information flow depends on the organization's size, composition, and structure.  
• It flows downwards, upwards and horizontally within its network of inter­dependent relations.

So, A is true. 

Reason R: Organisational communication is not necessary to achieve the organization's objectives.

• Organizational communication helps the Organizational to complete tasks related to specific roles and responsibilities of sales, services, and production. 
• Furthermore, it helps to acclimatize to changes through individual and organisational creativity and adaptation. 
• It is forging relationships where "human messages are directed at people within the organization-their attitudes. 

Thus, R is false. 

Therefore, A is true but R is false.
