MCM301 GDB Solution

According to my point of view oral communications is better than written form of communication, because oral communication can be more personal than written communication.

It saves time, this is true in situation where split second decisions have to be made in the workspace, and the authorities may just give an oral communication

Can be recorded, due to various advantages in the electronic and communication devices, an oral communication can be recorded either as a voice message or even as a video recording

It leads to face to face, can be done on the spot and does not need writing skills.
