The star printing and publishing company limited Enugu was born on the 1st October 1975.  it took from the reliable  publishing company ltd. Publishing of renaissances newspaper.  The maiden publication was launched in October 1st 1975 and was called daily star” and subsequently “ the star” was adapted by the company the company is managed by men if proven integrity in the field of management. They realize the important role of communication play in any business set up in order to propagate this role workers of different position in the company have been sent on course both in service and long term overseas training in order to achieve improved performance it is disheartening therefore to finds out that after all these efforts the communication system in the organizaiton continued to deteriorate.  In the words of EB flipo et ab commumcation serves as a lubricant that faster the smooth operation of the management process.  In contrast to what is obtained these days in business organizaiton, which is characterized, by management directive and authoritarian behaviour of management.

Adequate communication system ensures flexibility and   offers the management and subordinate the opportunity not only to identify problems but also to co-operate in designing solution to them. The cause of communication problem in the company could be attributed to the fact that individual differs.

This is problem that a company inherits because they are common to the society individual are born with different potentialities they also must have had different experience during their childhood youths and as adult   they have had employers an supervisor who have exerted a variety of influence upon than problem arising from the company psychological climate which tends to obstruct communication.  One organization may be permissive in that employees allowed expressing them selves freely and encouraging participating in way of the important activities.  Another organizaiton may be autocratic that individuals are expected to express their opinion and otherwise discouraged from engaging in participative activities expect in rare instance such might be the case of star printing company limited Enugu.
