Abstract: | This study investigates the response rate, response speed, and response quality of e-mail surveys in comparison with mail surveys and looks into the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two methods. The results of the study show that e-mail yields faster returns than mail. The level of reply quality is about the same for the two methods. The response rate for e-mail is lower than mail. However, if one takes into account the low popularity of e-mail usage in Hong Kong, e-mail actually produces acceptable response rate at lower cost per returned questionnaire than mail. |
