Evaluate the four types of communication discussed in the textbook to determine which method would be best to send an important message, such as the resignation of a position.
What will be an ideal response?
*Oral communication is quick and misunderstandings can be cleared up just as quick. However, it is
informal with the message possibly being lost or forgotten
*Written communication can be carefully drafted and archived. However, the sender does not always
know if the message has been interpreted correctly
*Electronic communication is more of an informal way to communicate compared to written
communication and used to reach large groups of people at once It is not the best way to send negative
news because it does not provide an adequate means for expressing emotions
*Nonverbal communications are the wordless cues given between people. This is not a way to give a
direct message, but instead a way to supplement a message
*The best way to resign would be to write a formal letter so that you have time to review the message and
the message can be saved in your file
