Reasons for increase in the
volume of e‑mail
nThree reasons the volume of e-mail has exploded have to do with the changing climate in business:
1.E‑mail has become the primary medium for business communication, so interactions formerly done by phone or in meetings are now taking place in e-mail.
2.Business people are taking on more duties in today’s complex workplace, so they must communicate more messages to accomplish their daily tasks.
3.The duties often involve new, complex technology that requires more communication to carry out tasks; business is simply more complicated today.  That requires even more e‑mails.
