The occurrence if all the process makes communication complete.
Question 4. Identify the different types of communication
The three types of communication are formal, vertical and horizontal communication
Question 5. Describe the step-by-step format of a control plan
The format of a control plan varies, but there are general elements that should feature in any control plan. It should have three basic formats, each with all its subsections. It should have plan description, characteristics section and methods section. Each section provides a vivid description of the entire control process.
