Is maybe D correct answer?thank yuo
No.
It looks like you'd better study your text materials.
ooh i know it is A :)
Right. It's A.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the question and the options provided:
The question asks about the communication of an announcement for a company-sponsored picnic from the employees' social committee to the other employees. So, we need to consider the direction of the communication (horizontal, vertical, or external) and the level of formality (informal or formal).
Let's analyze each option:
Option a: Horizontal; informal - Horizontal communication refers to communication between individuals at the same hierarchical level, such as colleagues or peers. Since the announcement is coming from the social committee to the other employees, it does not fit the definition of horizontal communication. However, the communication can be considered informal as it is likely not dictated by strict company protocols.
Option b: External; informal - External communication refers to communication that occurs outside of the organization with external stakeholders like customers, suppliers, etc. Since the announcement is going from the social committee to the employees within the same organization, it does not fit the definition of external communication. Again, the communication can be considered informal.
Option c: Vertical; informal - Vertical communication refers to communication that occurs between individuals at different hierarchical levels, such as from managers to employees or vice versa. In this case, the communication is coming from the social committee (which represents a specific group but not necessarily a higher hierarchical level) to the other employees, which could be seen as a vertical direction. The communication is also described as informal.
Option d: External; formal - As explained earlier, this communication does not qualify as external communication. Additionally, it is described as informal rather than formal.
Based on the analysis, option c (Vertical; informal) is more fitting for the described communication. So, the correct answer is c.
