Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the employees are asking questions and requesting a change of delivery date indicates a two-way communication, as information and feedback are being exchanged between the manager and the staff. It is not a case of strict downward communication, where the manager simply gives orders, nor is it upward communication, where the employees are giving feedback to the manager. There is no indication that this is a case of lateral communication, where colleagues communicate with each other on the same level of hierarchy.
