    • One of the most common methods for sending and receiving messages in organizations.
    • Enables synchronous communication - real-time interaction like a telephone conversation.
    • Asynchronous communication allows participants to respond at their convenience, even if they are not online at the same time.

    Effective Communication

    • Use vivid and interesting language to engage listeners.
    • Focus on points relevant to the audience's interests to increase involvement.
