Tiivistelmä: | Professional, technical, and administrative workers read a vignette describing a communication need and expressed their preference for the channel they would use to initiate a message. Variables as message complexity and need for documentation were manipulated. Results support eight of ten hypotheses derived from a perspective of cost minimization with exogenous variables accounting for about 21 p.c. of the variance. Cost minimization can apparently predict individual channel selections and provide a partial basis for managerial decisions about adopting voice mail. |
