Q.1. Differentiate between oral and written communication along with their advantages
& dis-advantages ?
ANS - Oral communication: Oral communication implies communication through mouth. It
includes individuals conversing with each other, be it direct conversation or telephonic
conversation. Speeches, presentations, discussions are all forms of oral communication.
Q.2. What are the electronic modes of communication. Elaborate their advantages &
dis-advantages ?
ANS - Electronic communication is any form of communication that’s broadcast, transmitted,
stored or viewed using electronic media, such as computers, phones, email and video. But
each has specific uses and is better suited for certain scenarios.
1. Email
In an email stats report covering 2021 to 2025, research firm Radicati predicts that
businesses’ and consumers’ total number of emails sent and received per day will surpass
319 billion by the end of 2021. With so many emails flying in and out and no clear
prioritization, the risk of losing vital intel is high.
Instant messaging (IM) refers to the real-time or instantaneous transmission of messages via
the internet or an internal network or server.
IM tools such as Slack and Facebook Messenger reduce, and often eliminate, the unnecessary
and time-consuming back-and-forth of phone calls and emails. IM also lets you immediately
raise and address issues that could otherwise languish unnoticed for days or weeks.
With most business communication now happening via mobile and desktop apps or cloud-
based platforms, it’s easy to forget the old-school phone system. Customer behaviour may
have evolved in response to technology, but there’s still a need for a personal touch.
4. Video
Explainer videos are short videos that highlight the features of a product or service. They’re
particularly helpful for potential customers researching a product or current customers trying
to understand how one functions. Explainer videos can also be used for online advertising.
