Open Communication

Explanation:

In business, open communication is really the capacity of anyone to obtain, access and share communication resources on one level in order to provide value-added facilities on yet another level in a layered communication system architecture under equal conditions with a transparent relationship between cost and pricing.

It is important for business because it encourages your staff to become more involved and recognize that what they are doing counts to business success.
