Rationale 1: E-mail minimizes time wasted trying to contact individuals and the urgency of the message can be coded.
Rationale 2: Voice mail is time consuming because the caller must place the call. There is also the possibility the person will answer the call, which entails a greater investment of time.
Rationale 3: There is a risk that the memo will be placed where it is not accessible to all staff members.
Rationale 4: A telephone call may lead to socializing and small talk, which are time wasters.
