Digging Deeper: Presenting Solutions
Consider the videos presented by Lee Crocket on Digital generation and BBC’s Dragons on worst ever pitch, and worst product, they both portrayed some communication elements. These elements enable people to communicate effectively and ineffectively in these videos. These elements include the sender and receiver, encoding and decoding, communication channel, and ideas. Through these elements, both parties exchange information demonstrating is effective or ineffective communication.
The entrepreneur and the investor in BBC’s Dragons orally conveyed information about the idea presented before the two parties. The orally presented information was received by the investors via speech, and they orally gave their feedback to the entrepreneur who was accompanied by jokes and laughter. The second video presents Mr. Crocket giving a talk on Digital Generation via speech to his audience listening and give feedback by laughing after listening and understanding keenly to what Crocket says.
In BBC’s Dragon Den, the entrepreneur encodes his by presenting a new product which is verified by the investors hence they understanding his idea. After receiving the encoded message (a new product), the investors in the Dragon Den decode the message by looking at the product and giving their feedback based on what they see. Likewise, Lee Crocket encodes his information through slides and presentations.

His audience decodes it by listening and maybe taking notes and laughing showing they understand the information.
The entrepreneur in BBC’s Dragon Den presents his idea to the investors through talking and providing items as his backup. The information receivers decode information through observing or testing and later giving their feedback based on current experience. In Crocket’s speech, his presents his idea on Digital generation while presenting research facts on presentation sheet in his screen. It helps his audience decode the message and respond in their own ways.
Despite the two-excerpt having almost equal communication element ranging from communication channels, they have a very distinctive difference. The major differences in these excerpts include ineffective communication between the investors and the entrepreneur in the BBC Dragon Den (James). The communication resulted in mockery and laughter which hence ineffective communication. However, Crocket’s speech on Digital generation was effective since he had good communication with the audience which led to him being clapped for at the end.
