Importance of Grapevine Communication Any organization will have several informal power centers not shown in organizational chart. Information emanated from these centers will not be known to all in the organization. Such information often misused for insider trading etc.
In old days telephone lines were not well organized and remained cluttered resembling grapevine. That is how the name derived.

How the Grapevine Works and Grows The grapevine grows and changes according to the perceptions of the receiver/s. Where they are, the tier at work, what they do, their past experience, and their values and beliefs.
According to neuro linguistic programming, we generalise, distort and delete information we receive.
It is important to ensure that messages sent out have clarity and a clear message to reduce the ability to be distorted too much. Before communicating important messages, they should be planned and checked carefully to make sure the language is clear.
It is also important for the sender/s to have an ear to the ground and act quickly if the message is responded to in a way they do not want.

Grapevine Communication Grapevine communication can be attributed to dis-information or rumor whether intended or unintended which results either due to lack of information / lack of proper communication about a decision or policy or owing to some ulterior motives which may have potential or strategic advantages for some person, may it be the organization's decision maker or at the receiver end.
This is what Herman and Chomsky called PROPAGANDA, whether be white, black or gray... The grapevine communication results in panic among the employees which can either be used by decision makers or leaders in the echelons of workers.
