4. Transmitting message: After selecting media or channel the sender transmits the messages or information to the receiver.

5. Receiving message: IN this stage, the receiver receives the messages in the form of a hearing, seeing, feeling etc. the receiver may be an individual, or group or an organization. The receiver decides whether to decode the message or to make an effort to understand it.

6. Decoding: Decoding is the receiver’s interpretation of the sender’s message. Decoding is the process by which the receiver assigns meaning to the symbols encoded by the sender.

7. Response: After decoding the receiver accept or reject the message. It is the reaction of the receiver of the message knows as response. A message can create many kinds of responses into the receiver depending on the context and the nature of message. The response may be immediate, deferred, favorable or unfavorable.
