Correct Answer: Limited flexibility in message delivery


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Limited flexibility in message delivery

One of the demerits of formal communication at ABC Tech is the limited flexibility in message delivery. Formal communication often follows predefined channels and formats, which can restrict the adaptability and customization of messages to suit different audiences or situations. This can sometimes lead to messages being less effective in conveying the intended meaning or not resonating well with the recipients. Formal communication often emphasizes accuracy, clarity, and minimizing rumors or misinformation. However, it can sometimes lack the flexibility needed to engage employees effectively or address complex, dynamic, or sensitive issues.
