Abstract: | This exploratory research used Diffusion of Innovations to examine and benchmark organizational use of the simplest and most prevalent Internet technology, e-mail. The answers, by 200 Singaporean travel agencies, to a mock customer's e-mail reflect poor e-mail customer service. The authors found odds of one in four of receiving a reply and a minuscule three chances in 100 of receiving a response that followed suggested guideline for treating e-mail as business communication. |
