Communication Technology
Features of new communication technologies offer important advancements for organizations.
FROM ‘PAPER’ TO ‘PAPERLESS’
![Page 11: Preliminaries to Research](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042511/559418f51a28ab7a0d8b45d7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Many organizations actively design and implement unique electronic communication systems rather than simply absorb available technology from their internal and external coordination needs.

The scientific method of research includes the following sequential steps:
1.Determining/recognizing the problem;
2. Forming a hypothesis;
3. Doing the library search;
4. Designing the study;
5. Developing the instruments for collecting data;
