Managing Emoji 's Effectively Within A Managerial Context

Dundon et al. (2004) claimed that employee voice is a form of contribution to decision-making, an articulation of individual satisfaction or dissatisfaction and a demonstration of collective organisation. Another way of saying, employee voice is the process of employees communicating their thoughts, ideas to employers to provide feedbacks and make improvements. Bryson (2004) described employee voice as a two-way communication between management and employees. This two-way communication between senior managers and employees enables them to exchange ideas. To be more specific, it brings different and new perspectives from employees, give them a sense of ownership towards the decision-making process with relatively higher level of effort and reduced labour cost. Moreover, it has lower cost and reduce risk of disruption due to employee resistance. It is crucial for senior management to understand the importance of ‘employee voice’ since it plays a significant role in constructing a high-involvement working environment and has a crucial impact on organisational performance. There are various advantages of employee voice, however, too strong employee voice will inevitably cause negative impact in the organisation.

It is stated that The Emoji Code condemns The Emoji movie as it portrays emojis as a language, however Evan’s views it as a tool, which is considered an addition and not a threat. The article mentions that the reason that emojis are vastly used is because of its flexibility, meaning that there is no specific way to use them. For example the writer of the emoji could use it with a certain meaning but the recipient could interpret an extremely different message. An example mentioned was when the singer Drake got a tattoo and people thought it was two hands praying or even a high five, however Drake soon addressed the situation by confirming that his tattoo was indeed praying hands. It is also mentioned that people have associated certain emojis to specific actions. For instance a car emoji can represent people commuting, sunglasses on a smiling face can represent coolness, a winking face can represent that the message was intended to be humorous and many more emojis have many more meanings. Initially, emojis were intended for a specific purpose, but eventually began being used for fun and a way for people to express themselves. Towards the end of the article Alex French, a reporter for The New York Times states that a popular business in Hollywood is taking existing work and converting it into a fresh story. In a recent study it was shown that the only purely

Summary and Description of Rhetorical Situation: The article being discussed was released on August 4,2017 shortly after the release of the movie on July 28, 2017. Megan writes this text to explain the problems with the movie and later on supporting her arguments by using related examples and statistics that line up with the points she mentions in her article. The reason she uses the Internet as her platform is to attract young readers who are users of emojis and technology and may have watched ‘ The Emoji Movie’. Firstly, she begins by explaining how the producers of movies such as Toy Story and The Lego Movie take inanimate objects and discovers a parallel world to ours and injects a story into them. On the other hand, The Emoji Movie attempts to create a story line; however, it ends up becoming a platform for promoting applications used by the majority of people in this generation. This dissatisfaction is shown statistically by the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, which are currently at a 0% approval rate and an overall low score of 7%. Furthermore, Megan shows how emojis are not just doodles rather tools that are used for means of communication, as it is a universal way for people to interact with each other. Emojis are said to affect the way people interact in day-to-day communication and how effective people connect. The text mentions that some people believed that the reason for The Emoji Movies failure was due to its conflict with the book “The Emoji Code” written by Vyvyan Evans. The Emoji Code talks about the reasons that emojis have become so famous by analyzing certain aspects such as the study of language, the study of mind and behavior and the study of learning and thought. It is stated that The Emoji Code

Over the year’s technology has evolved drastically. Technology that involves social media play a huge role in the way people interacts with one another especially when it comes to grammar. Most people communicate using their computers, mobile device or tablets. As technology is changing so has the language. Social media is one of the main forms of communicating with people. Sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube are major social media outlets that are used daily to communicate with individuals near or far. It has formed language using mainly acronyms and emojis (pictures). Emojis has become popular in the past few

“Will We All Speak Emoji Language in a Couple Years” was written by Gretchen McCulloch on August 9, 2015 as a blog post on “Mental Floss”, a site geared towards broadcasting fun facts that ordinary people of today may not be familiar with. In the thesis of this article, McCulloch states that we will not speak in complete emoji language in the years to come because: “…no matter how good you are at emoji…there are some things you just can’t say clearly in any combination of little pictures” (McCulloch). One of the main supporting points used in this article is the recreation of Moby Dick, entitled “Emoji Dick”. McCulloch uses the first and second sentences of Emoji Dick to show that the emoji’s do not create a clear sentence structure and is

Emojis are a big part of our society. Emoji’s should be used, for people to have emotion in written communication. An article published by Los Angeles Times states, “But emojis quickly surpassed emoticon use for two key reasons: There’s a lot more people can communicate with emojis. “I can make an emoji that’s a whale or a penguin,” said Internet language expert Gretchen McCulloch.”I don’t even know how I would do that with emoticons”. McCulloch is saying that he didn’t know how emotion would be like without emojis. And how everyone uses them in everyday life. An article made by Big Think, and written by Orion Jones saying, “Because the tone of a conversation affects how we react, and because physical cues help set tone, emoticons are much

Do you think emojis are worth using? I believe that emojis are not harmful to society. Emojis show human emotion. Also, emojis are the closest humans have to a universal language.  Emojis can also cover up humiliating text messages and save time for fast situations. I see them as an asset to communication.  Emoji are not harmful, they are helpful. Whether one likes it or not, emoji is becoming a universal language; the addition of facial expressions and gestures to fast-paced brief messages brings a touch of humanity to the cold and sometimes distant digital message. The very first forms of written communication were images and symbols.  Prehistoric

Recently, emojis have entered the texting world and has changed the way communication is interpreted. Imagine getting a text and not being able to interpret whether the other person is upset or is joking around with you. As if someone texted you “What the heck?” and you have no idea whether they are angry or laughing about the situation. Which is where emojis are excellent use for communicating when you need to show the emotion you are having when you send a text. In the article, “Should that frown be upside down? Emojis make the meaning clear” by Tracey Lien explains the importance of emojis and how they can make a difference in the way individuals comprehend the message.

For the first few months, I attempted to sell monogrammed decals on Instagram. I soon discovered that the most successful sellers there were extremely preppy and used a ridiculous number of emojis. Because that was unnatural to me, I tried to copy their marketing strategies by utilizing a plethora of heart and bow emojis in my posts. However, my efforts proved unsuccessful, and proofreading my posts’ captions made me cringe. My followers must have seen through my facade, because I only received four orders.

Have students design emojis for an opposite mood. Students will love to create posters with their favorite emojis.

Almost everyday we use emojis, but half the time, people misinterpret them. In the article “Emojis: Just another way to miscommunicate?” by Rochelle Olson, we are informed of the two main reasons behind ‘emoji misconception.’ The first is the way certain companies make their emojis look when they are sent to other types of phone and social media; the second is the way people read and misread emojis. To begin, there are many different tech companies, each company has their own distinct emoticons and so they appear differently on separate platforms. (Olsen, paragraph 2, 6) For example, companies such as Apple or Samsung have their own emojis. When say an Apple phone sends an emoji to a samsung, it appears differently causing mixed emotions. Second,

George Shaw said it best with “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” We use texting more often to communicate with others than we do placing a phone call and talking to someone. Talking employs a shared communication. You have two or more people interacting with each other, responding to statements or opinions. Texting is a message sent and does not necessarily require a response. You can text someone until your fingers bleed; however, if the other person does not respond, how will you truly know if you have communicated information to a person. Although texting is an easy process, there are many reasons why talking remains the preferred method of

Emoticons are convenient in everyday lives but one person understanding the meaning of emoticons which is using by another person can be totally not the same and the ambiguity of emoticons can lead to unwanted misunderstandings, particularly when two parties are unfamiliar with one another. Therefore, users may get troubles from conveying them. Also, a drawback of transmitting emotions with emoticons is that the choice of them is limited sometimes. The range of emotions that people can express is restricted by this constraint, and the subtle nuances of emotions that people experience are prevented. At the same time, people can express feelings without using complicated sentences, only by symbols with a universally understood meaning. Moreover,

The way we communicate has changed gradually over time and continues to do so. This has become more evident now as technological advancement brings forth emoji. Although emoji themselves are not new at this point, their relevance has changed significantly. Emoji are improving the way we convey emotion through messages, however, they are also reverting us back to primitive forms of communication and a loss of value for words.

The article “Emojis: The death of the written language?” (Mody, 2015) by Seema Mody is a bad article because, yes emoji’s are used in everyday text messages as well as the written language. You can’t have a conversation simply by using just emoji’s. In the article, Mody makes the assumption that “recipient not always grabbing the full meaning” (Mody, para 23) basically meaning someone might misinterpret what your trying to say. But that is wrong because for example, the peach emoji can be interpreted as a butt or a peach. But based on the conversation you are having the recipient will know the meaning. Having a conversation about fruit or a person could be an example. “Once you use a emoji you just want more and more” (Mody, para 12) that is
