Such type of communication takes place between managers and workers, or managers working at the same cadre, or employees working at the same cadre.

2. Horizontal or Lateral communication: Communication that takes place between individuals working at the same level, is called horizontal communication. E.g. a production manager may contact the marketing manager to discuss the production schedule.
