ADVANTAGES & LIMITATIONS OF WRITTEN REPORTS
Among other merits, following could be enumerated:
1. Provide record for both the parties – sender and receiver
2. Provide a reference that can be distributed to all concerned
3. Writers have time to think and ponder before writing
4. Writers can change and chop the text several times before its submission
5. Receivers can go over the reports several times
6. Receivers can construct better response as they too have time to think and ponder
A few major limitations are:
1. No immediate feedback is available.
2. Lack of personal contact with the readers
3. Readers cannot ask questions by way of clarification
4. Text of the reports is not adjustable as is possible with oral reports
