Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of horizontal communication, which takes place between colleagues at the same level within an organization. They are sharing and exchanging information to support each other in their work. It is different from upward or downward communication, which involves the exchange of information between superiors and subordinates. It is also not virtual communication, which typically takes place through electronic means, or decentralized communication, which involves spreading decision-making power throughout an organization.
