Haste Makes Waste
The choice of media in light of environmental factors such as the nature of the task and the social context has been the subject of much research. Many theories contribute to our understanding of how people make these choices. Rational choice theory predicts that people choose a means of communication by comparing its characteristics with the requirements of the communicative task.
It would be wise to send 25 pages of part numbers via e-mail rather than transfer this information over the phone. In some situations, the nature of the task explains almost all the differences in the choice of communication medium.
Information wealth theory predicts that richer media is needed when there is more ambiguity or uncertainty in the information being communicated. For example, complex issues should be discussed in person rather than in a letter. The cognitive view of media choice is based on a developed probabilistic model of attitude formation and change, which states that in order to process a message, the recipient must be both motivated and able to do so.
