What effect can choosing an inappropriate communication channel have on communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The message may be delayed, incomplete, or misunderstood
A channel should be chosen according to the message’s urgency, complexity, confidentiality, and the receiver’s situation. If the channel is unsuitable, the message may arrive late, lose important detail, or be misunderstood. No channel is best for every situation. Choosing a channel also does not change the sender or remove the need for meaningful symbols or language.
