Question

Samantha needs a decision today about a product release. She is looking for support from her team that is more in-depth than, "Looks good to me." She is experiencing which disadvantage of electronic communication?

Answer 1

Explanation:

This question refers to a disadvantage of electronic communication.

The new communication technologies have greatly optimized communication in the work environment, through communication via e-mail for example, it is possible that the processes are optimized, the response is faster and the communication is integrated with different sectors of the company.

However, a disadvantage of this type of communication, as presented in the question above, is the lack of efficiency in solving complex problems.

For example, in this question Samantha needs to make an important decision about launching a product on the market, and seeks support from her team to help her decisions, but her co-workers responded with only brief and succinct phrases, which are usually the result of of electronic communication. As Samantha expected an in-depth support with greater ideas and opinions that would help her decision making, the ideal would be that this subject would be discussed in a meeting with her team, where the complex problems can be debated with greater time and engagement from everyone.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) It may not be effective for solving some types of complex problems.

Explanation:

Electronic communications tend to increase efficiency and productivity, the internet changed the world and the most valuable corporations in the world are all high tech (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, F@cebook). We have many more virtual friends now than real life friends.

The main advantage of electronic communication is that it makes everything simple. It's easier to make new friends around the world, it's easier for companies to sell their products and services. But what happens when things start to get complicated and you need more complex solutions to a really important issue? All that easy stuff starts to crumble and the house of cards falls.

Complex problems require real world solutions, and not easy virtual or electronic solutions. Samantha urgently needs to get her team together in a real physical manner and then try to solve this issue.
