CONT

La réunion d'information descendante est une opération intérieure à un groupe institutionnel. Le conducteur de la réunion, le responsable de l'exposé fait partie du même groupe institutionnel que ses auditeurs. [...] le thème de l'information fait directement partie de l'existence sociale, socio-professionnelle ou quotidienne, des personnes qui assistent à la réunion. Le responsable détient une information qui les concerne.

OBS

En pratique, lorsqu'on parle de "réunion d'information", le sens de la communication s'effectue de l'animateur vers les participants. Cependant, pour éviter toute ambiguité sur la direction du message (transmis ou recueilli), il est souhaitable de préciser s'il s'agit d'une information descendante ou ascendante.
