Introduction

In a sociological perspective, the university is first and foremost as formal organization to understand. It embodies a form of structural building, increasingly in the history of modern society. The university has gained importance (businesses, churches, political parties, and sports clubs). Organization is in a first approximation, a membership association rests on specifiable rules that bind the members. The most striking feature of the university as an organization is that this organization is of equal importance to two functional systems of the modern participates in modern society: the educational system and on. It should be emphasized between the two functional responsibilities liabilities of the university. The education system is in fact the university as Organization operates. Certain educational and training opportunities, the curriculum and the associated human and physical infrastructure offer the university and its sub-units that make this organization (Horwitz, 2007).

This may, for example, lack information on the objectives to achieve, ignore the ways to meet clear expectations in themselves, or not knowing the consequences associated with the execution of his work.

Communication is of utmost importance for the survival of gregarious species, because the information it extracts from its environment and its ability to transmit messages will be the key to take advantage of gregarious lifestyle (Pritchard, 1995).

The elements of group communication are: source, sender or encoder, code (rules of the sign, symbol), primary message (under a code), receiver or decoder, channel noise (barriers or interference) and the feedback or feedback (feedback, return message or post secondary).

Source: This is the place from whence the information, data, content to be sent, in conclusion, from which flows the primary message.

Issuer or Encoder: This is the point (person, organization ...) to choose and select the signs appropriate for their message, that is, the encoding can take so understandable to the ...
