The significance of communication, either in social networking or for managing multidimensional business functions, does not need any introduction in the modern times, with amazing tools and gadgets facilitating the overall communication process. The scientists, innovators and researchers are constantly involved in making communication process speedier and accurate, efficiently gifting us with the latest technologies which were even unimagined a few years back. The recent years have witnessed various jaw-dropping experiences through the contribution of technological innovation facilitating the communication process. In the successful flow of communication from the sender to the receiver, the message transmission is beset by challenges because unprecedented and unpredicted barriers keep marring the message at any given point of transmission. The present research paper attempts to conceptualize various such incidences and the vital elements of barriers and noises through three conceptual frameworks, modeling the communication process and displaying undesired disruptions at various points of message transmission from the source to the receiver.

Since time immemorial, communication has been an integral part of human interaction, and as the technology advances, we are constantly attempting to multiply the ways of communication among ourselves at different distances and various locations. Communication is our first and foremost necessity. The uses of communication are expanding along with the modern business needs, broadening in the process its functional areas. The transmission of information is a very challenging process, as it passes from one point to another through various obstructions known as barriers. The transmission of message between individuals, or from one to many, is an intricate process and might face many errors. If we closely observe the model of communication process, we can observe that there are some specific vulnerable points during the transmission of message from the source to the sender, and during its passing throughthese stages, the probability of its being erroneous gets multiplied. Some researchers in the area of social psychology have estimated that there is usually a 40-60% loss of meaning in the transmission of messages from the source to the receiver. Another study confirms that employees in various organizations mostly spend over 75% of
their time in an interpersonal network of communicative situation. Therefore, it is no surprise to find that the root cause of many management or business organizational problems can be traced to bad supply of information. All the employees do not have the maturity in terms of work experience interacting with each other through various types of communication tools. The problem gets multiplied when such lapses happen in various units of business process whether during production or channeling distribution or planning strategic move to market or selling those goods/units. It is highly important to be cautious of such potential sources causing communication barriers, in order to avoid troublesome hurdles and ensure minimal loss of meaning. In the present research paper, various kinds of barriers to effective communication have been discussed in detail. Two conceptual frameworks have also been introduced to understand the fatal implications of communication barriers.
