Personalen på engelska affärskedjan Phones 4u får inte mejla till varandra längre, enligt CNN.

Ägaren, multi-miljonären John Caldwell, säger:

"Management and staff at HQ and in the stores were beginning to show signs of being constrained by e-mail proliferation -- the ban brought an instant, dramatic and positive effect.

Service par excellence needs 100% focus, and e-mail was showing the potential to get in the way -- but not in my business. (...)

The quality and efficiency of communication have been increased tremendously in one fell swoop - things are getting done and people aren't tied to their PCs.

The net result is that the business has been dramatically liberated, leaving the typical Phones 4u person with an extra three hours a day to concentrate fully and without distraction on sales and customer service."

Kunder kan dock mejla till företaget - det är bara interna mejl som stoppats. Ring eller se till att träffas, är Caldwells order.

Jag gissar att detta kommer att rapporteras som en bisarr (brittisk) lustighet i många medier. Jag bloggar det för att jag tror att han mycket väl kan ha rätt.
