| Tiivistelmä: | The research results on group consensus have been ambiguous within the field of Group Support Systems (GSSs). This research studies more closely how two characteristics, that is, communication channel (here as: comm.) and consensus (as:cons.), interact. Specifically, can "less consensus" be a function of the choice of channels used in problem solving. The results show that groups using a single comm. channel generate more actual cons. than groups using multiple comm. channels. Furthermore, the single channel discussions provide more integrative comments and these integrative comments may help explain the difference in consensus. These results suggest that those striving for cons. from group members should consider production methods used to create the information that is to be used in the decision. |
