    Solution

    Communication is the exchange of information. Unless the information being transmitted is not understood by the receiver, the process of the communication is not complete and the communication process becomes ineffective. To make the message effective, the message should be easy to understand by the receiver. As such, any abstruseness in the message, i.e. a message that is unclear or hard to understand, may lead to misinterpretation of the intended message leading to break-down of smooth functioning of the organisation or non-fulfilment of required work to achieve the goals.
