The use and benefits of emails

Introduction

The aim of this report is to analyze and evaluate a graph that shows the use and benefits of email in businesses located in different countries. To achieve this, businesses in twenty-four countries have been surveyed and their answers are compared.

Information provided

This graph displays each country involved in separate rows, taking into account the average time their companies have spent using emails in the year 2004, measured in hours per day. A different column exhibits the percentage of businesses who agree that email and the internet have helped increase revenue.

Graph analysis

The result of the survey is that Asian countries such as Philippines and Hong Kong are the ones that spend more time using emails, even twice as much as in European countries like Germany, Italy or France. Moreover, although increased time spent does not guarantee increased revenue, as is shown by businesses in the United States and Australia, there is a tendency to have better results with prolonged use of emails.
