Answer:
ADVANTAGES :
(i) The first and foremost advantage of oral communication is that it provides immediate feedback to the participants in the communication event. While engaged in talk with somebody we can ask for clarification or further elaboration, justification, etc.
(ii) Oral communication is time saving.
(iii) By drawing the people together oral communication builds up a healthy climate in the organisation. It brings the superiors and the subordinates nearer.
(iv) Oral communication, just by sounding personal, becomes an effective tool of persuasion. Everybody knows the importance of persuasion in business.
(v) Oral communication is not only time-saving, it is also very economical. It saves the money spent on stationery in an organisation.
(vi) Oral communication also provides the speaker opportunity to correct himself and make himself clear by changing his voice, tone, pitch etc.
(vii) In oral communication the speaker enjoys the advantage of understanding the groups he is addressing. He can immediately understand the group’s reaction and arrive at a satisfactory conclusion.
Limitations of Oral Communication:
(i) Oral communication may not always be time saving. Sometimes it happens that meetings go on and on for a long time without arriving at any satisfactory conclusion.
(ii) Oral messages cannot always be retained in the listener’s memory. The speaker himself may always not recall what he verbally said or meant.
(iii) In the absence of record, oral messages do not have legal validity.
(iv) If the speaker has not carefully organised his thought oral messages may lead to misunderstanding.
(v) The length of the message may pose a problem. If the message is long it is not always suitable for oral communication.
(vi) It becomes difficult to fix responsibility for anything going wrong or for any mistake in oral communication.
