Advantages Disadvantages

It brings quick feedback. In face-to-face conversation, by reading

facial expression and body language one can guess whether he/she should trust what’s

being said.

In face-to-face conversation, user is unable to deeply think about what he is

delivering, so this can be counted as oral obligation problem.

Messages can be edited and revised many times before it is actually sent.

WC provides record for every message sent and can be saved for later study.

A written message enables receiver to fully understand it and send appropriate feedback.

Unlike oral, written does instant feedback. not bring

It takes more time in composing a written message as composed word-of-mouth. And

Professors - students believe them because they had the authority as a prof. Referent Power. When others wish to be like you. Referent power holders often are attractive, have considerable prestige, and are well liked and well respected. Ex. Fluent english speakers, good speakers. Reward Power. When you control the rewards that others want. Rewards may be material (money, promotion, properties, jewelry) or social (love, friendship, respect). For example, teachers have reward power over students because they control grades and social approval. Coercive Power. When you have the ability to administer punishments to or remove rewards from others if they do not do as you wish. For example, teachers may give poor grades or withhold recommendations. Expert Power. When others see you as having expertise or special knowledge. Your expert power increases when you’re seen as being unbiased and as having nothing personally to gain from exerting this power.

Locutionary and perlocutionary forces must be scrutinized to cascade the illocutionary force so that effective communication will be achieved.

One of the principles of communication is that it involves content and relationship dimensions. Meaning, the appreciation of the message is

dependent on the established relationship between the interlocutor and the receiver.

Communication has power dimension--legitimate, referent, reward, coercive and expert. The latter power increases when equality is observed.
