Lack of communication among the stakeholders in the cinema industry hasrnslowed down development of the sector. Even though effects of lack ofrncommunication among stakeholders in the cinema industry are multifaceted,rnone of the major effects is expansion of movie piracy.rnMovie piracy has crippled the otherwise booming cinema. The illegal practicernhas made the industry a very dreadful business to venture in. this has thusrnresulted in decreasing cash flow and hence less production quality.rnThe fact that the stakeholders do not work together towards alleviating thernproblem has added salt to the injury. Whenever an association starts bringingrnstakeholders together and discusses about it, members tend to be trapped byrnthe inefficiencies of the previous discussions and drop out of the process.rnThe communication strategy they have assumed has not been designed to helprnthem capitalize on their previous achievements. Instead it made them dwell onrntheir previous inefficiencies and thus believe that the next discussion would onlyrnbe a replication of the previous discussions instead of progressive extension ofrnthem. Furthermore, there has been a rolling trend of influence the biggerrnproducers have on the rest of the members. Hirokawa and Gouran recognizernthis problem as undue influence by powerful members. These historical andrninstitutional factors have affected the communication process which in turnrnmade the industry's immunity weaker.rnFunctional Perspective on Group Decision Making Theory along with Historical .rnand Institutional functions added by critics Stohl and Holmes provides anrnunrivalled solution for communications in such a state.
