This document discusses three types of communication in business: downward, upward, and horizontal. Downward communication flows from higher to lower levels, such as instructions from a manager to employees. Upward communication flows in the opposite direction, with suggestions or feedback from employees to managers. Horizontal communication transmits messages within the same organizational level or department. Both upward and downward communication have advantages like sharing information, feedback, and maintaining relationships, while also facing potential limitations such as delays or lost information. Effective communication in all directions is important for business planning, organizing, and goal achievement.
