Communication channels include formal reports, bulletins, memos, letters, prerecorded speeches, electronic mail, online discussion groups, voice-mail, live speeches, telephone conversations, video conferences, and face-to-face conversations. Communication Channel Scenarios When dealing with a business there are several ways to communicate to employees. If it is by e-mail, phone, or face-to-face conversation it is still a way to communicate throughout a company.

...Communication Channel Scenarios Johnny M. Bush MGT/521 June 29, 2011 Robert Dewhurst Communication Channel Scenarios Scenario #1 – Marketing Manager for a new beverage My communication channel of choice for this scenario is oral communication. This is the best communication channel for this scenario, because it will allow me to convey the project details and expectations to my team quickly. In addition, I will gain the opportunity to answer concerns related to the project details in minimal time. As for upper communication flow to the Vice President of Operations, I will use written communication to channel the team’s strategy. Written communication will give upper management the opportunity to analyze and respond to the strategy's specifics. Scenario #2 – The Manager of a large travel agency The best communication channel for this scenario is oral communication by (Phone); because all company associates use the computer application it is critical for IT to understand the problem, so that they can implement a countermeasure quickly. As for downward communication to my associates, I plan to use written communication by (Email). This will give me the opportunity to reach the whole team at onetime and for each associate to have a verifiable document of the new login name and password.

The companies, industries, organizations and the World itself depend on it to maintain their proper operation and function. Our World as we know it could not be the same without the communication. Thanks for today’s technology the communication have multiple channels that help us send our message in different ways. The ways we use to send that message is what we call as “the communication channel”. And when we need and effective communication, we need to select the appropriate channel because using the inappropriate one our message cannot be send and receive like is supposed to. Each particular situation has a specific communication channel depending of what we need to say. For that there are multiple channels that we can use such as: face-to-face conversations, live speeches, memos, letters, e-mails and telephone conversations, among others.

...Communication Channel 1 Communication Channel Scenarios MGT/521 Management August 17, 2011 Professor: Communication Channel 2 Communication Channel Scenarios Scenario I Informal communication channel will be used. I feel that this channel will be a great choice in this situation, because we need immediate feedback and have a goal to obtain with a deadline. Upward communication would be used to convey the message to the Vice President of Operations. The reason I feel this is the best choice is, because this form of communication is being used to provide feedback to higher ups, progress towards goals and relay current problems if any. (Robbins & Judge,(11) pp 344-345) Scenario II Formal email communication will be used to contact the IT department. This channel will be best choice for this situation, because it will be following company procedure for technical support and its’ quickly written and immediately sent. Downward communication is used for employee communication. It’s keeping them informed and providing them with instructions on the new login and password. (Robbins & Judge,(11) pp 344, 351) Scenario III Channel richness would be used to inform employees about the reduction of workforce.

...COMMUNICATION CHANNEL SCENERIOS 2 ABSTRACT Communication within an organization plays a vital role in business functions. Using poor communication or the wrong type of communication channel can have major negative impacts. Good communication skills and the knowledge to identify when to use a particular communication channel is vital in sending and receiving business information. The communication channel scenarios assigned demonstrate the challenges that occur when there is error in communication. The first scenario highlights the risks of not choosing the right communication channel when dealing with important business matters. The scenario also shows what can occur when important conversations take place via e-mail rather than one on one, and how the evidence of the conversations can cause future damage. The second scenario shows how the internet has changed communication and created new challenges for organizations. Both scenarios demonstrate that it is essential to understand the different channels of communication.

...Communication Channel Scenarios MGT/521 Management November 27th, 2011 Communication Channel Scenarios In business, how information is communicated is very important and has a lasting impression. Selecting the correct method ensures that everyone is aware of any changes being made and has a clear understanding of how the changes will be implemented. In this paper, the student is responsible for reading three scenarios and responding accordingly. Scenario 1 In scenario one, the student serves as the marketing manager for a new beverage that is doing well in the United States. Now the Vice President of operations wants the beverage to go global and the team must be made aware of product details so they can get started. In this scenario, the best communication channel would be a mixture of external and internal communication. Francis (2011) states, “External communication is any communication between a business and the outside world. Public relations statements, press releases, marketing materials, commercials, and articles and books written by or about the business are all examples of external communication.” External communication would be used to advertise the new product to the outside world. Print ads, television ads, and radio ads would be beneficial to spread the word about the new drink. Internal communication would be used to update the other team members and the best method would be a face-to-face meeting. A face-to-face meeting would allow the marketing...

...Communication Channel Scenarios Senario 1 In scenario one, the vice president of operations charges the manager with rapidly putting together a strategy with his team. The compressed time line for the development of a strategy requires a communication rich channel to enable the team to work quickly with maximum feedback to the effort in near real time. The team must include as many ideas as possible first before breaking off to research the data necessary to build a strong supporting argument for their chosen business case. What communication channel will you use? The best communication channel that will meet the requirements of this situation is a face to face team meeting. The meeting can take place in a conference room or via a video conference, but will be face to face. Using video conference solutions is similar in most regards to a live meeting of the whole team in the same room. Our modern workplace, with dispersed workforce, does not always allow for a work group to be located in the same room. Why is this channel the best choice in this situation? The face to face communication channel is the best choice, because it allows all team members to interact in real time. The team can share ideas as they develop during the discussion and present those real time to the rest of the team members. In this scenario, the team has very little time to develop ideas, and then follow up those ideas with the necessary research to determine which of the team ideas have sound...

...COMMUNICATION CHANNEL SCENARIOS COMMUNICATION CHANNEL SCENARIOS Scenario 1 For the first scenario, the ideal channel will be the oral communication. Specifically a team meeting, this is the perfect way to communicate all the instructions that have been provided by the Vice President of Operations. Using this method we can avoid some obstructions or noise that could produce some distortion in the message that we intend to deliver. By doing a team meeting, and having in consideration the time given to develop a marketing plan, with the oral communication is the fastest way to deliver the message and quickly have feedback from the team members with any doubts or suggestions that can be applied to the project. Having said that the oral communication is the best method for this scenario, but in the case if one or more team members could not be possible to be present in the meeting also we have another method that we can use to communicate with each other, this one is the video conference. After all the research work and having completed the marketing plan to introduce the beverage to the global market, it’s time to convey the marketing plan to the Vice President of Operations via oral and written communication. With the oral we can explain all about the plan to the V.P.O. and having his feedback at the same time clarifying any doubts that may arise while making the presentation. With the written communication, is for document all the information to review it or use it...

...Communication Channel Scenarios Scenario 1 The communication channel that best suits this situation is a team meeting. This is the best choice because as the marketing manager, information can be relayed in a timely fashion and a quick response from the teammates can be received. With the deadline being a week away, it is vital that quick feedback is delivered. Being that the content is rich in information, the face-to-face communication helps to reduce any misunderstanding. If this issue were to arise, it can be resolved immediately. While relaying the strategy plan to the Vice President, a face to face conversation is also necessary. By implementing this communication channel, information can be presented with minimal time and with rapid feedback, additional changes can be made promptly. Scenario 2 To contact the IT department, a phone conversation would be the appropriate form of communication. The reason for this communication is because it is an issue that has a high demand to be resolved quickly. To inform employees, an email with the new login name and password would be sent immediately. Written communication is the best choice for this routine message because it is concrete and can be easily accessed at a later date if needed. Scenario 3 If faced with the issue of reducing the number of employees in order to stay productive, the proper communication to inform workers of the decision is a one-on-one meeting with each employee. Being that the message has high...

...Communication Channels Dominick Pennella MGT/521 October 18, 2011 Jim Bingel Communication Channels Mediums for communicating information come in many different forms. Different scenarios, involving varying levels of message complexities, requires a dynamic approach to selecting the type of medium used to convey a message or “communication channel.” The proceeding paragraphs will breakdown three separate scenarios and choose which communication channel would best fit the situation: Scenario #1 In this scenario the VP of Operations has tasked me with developing a strategy to introduce a new beverage into the global market, and I only have 1 week to do so. I must also share this plan with my team and convey my message in a clear and concise manner. In this case, I would have to choose face-to-face communication. The main reason behind this choice is that the timeframe and complexity of the message I need to convey can in no way be fulfilled by alternate means, such as e-mail, IM or TM or even a phone conversation. A message of this magnitude must be in person, so that the use of body language and tone of voice can be utilized to convey urgency, motivation, and seriousness. My message also can be incredibly specific as to what my expectations are, by using physical examples, and possibly training my team. Face-to-face communication is the “richest” of communication methods, and will allow me to “convey a verbal message and receive a response in minimal...

...Evaluating and Selecting Communication Channels MGT/521 One of the most important characteristics of successful relationships is the use of effective communication. Effective communications are characterized by achieving both the successful transfer as well as the understanding of meaning of the information being communicated to the greatest degree possible (Robbins & Judge, 2011). Understanding the functions of communication and the elements of the communication process itself will maximize the probability that messages communicated will yield the highest degree of understanding of the intended meaning by the recipients. A critical element of the communication process that influences the degree of understanding of meaning as much as the formulation of the message itself is the communication channel selected for its delivery. The focus of this paper will be on evaluating and selecting a communication channel based on the nature and complexity of the message to be delivered. The selection of communication channels and the reasons for their selections in the following essay are based off the three Communication Channel Scenarios located on the student website. Evaluating and Selecting Communication Channels Scenario 1 As the Marketing Manager for a new beverage product that has done well in the United States, I’ve been directed by the Vice President of Operations to develop a strategy within one week to enter the product into the global market...
