What is the difference between push, pull, and interactive communication?

Push communication sends information to specific recipients who need it, such as emails, memos, and reports, without confirming that it was received or understood. Pull communication places information in a central location for recipients to access when they need it, such as intranet sites, knowledge repositories, and shared drives. Interactive communication is a real-time, multi-directional exchange between two or more parties, such as meetings, phone calls, and video conferences. Interactive communication is most effective for complex or sensitive issues.
