manner and relevant manner through which both can communicate with each other. Through
face to face communication sender can easily explain the messages and receiver can easily
understand the message which is send by sender (Dubey and Gunasekaran, 2015). It is more
suitable than written communication. It also saves the team of sender thus sender can easily
reduce the workload and can work in a proper and efficient manner. It also saves the time of

of communication.
It is a more effective and efficient manner of communication as interaction is face to face
between the sender and receiver (Kurtz Draper, and Silverman, 2016). Thus receiver can easily
understand the message in proper manner. Immediate suggestions can also be taken from the
receiver so that sender can easily improve the message. Receiver is also motivated as they can
easily understand messages of sender and thus they can easily give their views regarding the
