Strategically selecting a communication channel means that you choose the communication channel that is best able to meet your work objectives. This process involves evaluating three qualities of communication channels: richness, control, and constraints. Richness involves two considerations: the level of immediacy and number of cues available. Control refers to the degree to which communications can be planned and recorded, thus allowing strategic message development. Constraints refer to the practical limitations of coordination and resources. You will evaluate communication channels in terms of richness, control, and constraints.
Read the case below and answer the questions that follow.

You work for Performance Now Sports (PNS), a chain of retail sports stores. You sell high-end sports clothing and gear. After two successful years as a PNS store manager, you were recently promoted to a district sales manager. In this role, you are responsible for the performance of 15 stores. You work closely with each store manager to carry out the organization's overall sales strategy.

Last week, you met with the company's marketing director. She stated that you are responsible for achieving a 15 percent growth in revenue for your district during the next year. She wants you to implement a new incentive system in which sales representatives receive lower base wages but higher commission rates. She also wants you to provide recommendations for at least five locations within your district for new stores. Finally, she wants you to lead local marketing campaigns that draw attention to stores in your district.
