...for Managing Critical Emails Authors: Kyle Rector and Joshua Hailpern Reviewer: Khawaja Ahmed Ali 1. What is the purpose of the work? Most of the people rely on email as their primary mode of business communication. However, as number of emails increase, it become difficult to manage them. This may leads to the poor attention to some important emails. Missing an important email may cause delay in project progress and frustration in users. There are numbers of manual and automatic procedures to filter emails based on various features. These methods identify the important emails and highlight them in some way. However, all of the methods have some limitations and thus, an end user cannot get full benefits. In this paper, authors presented an alert system for emails. MinEmail uses SMS as a notification tool about important emails. It sends an SMS to notify and remind a user about any critical email. This systems automatically predict and label important emails. Authors developed models to predict how and when emails should be addressed. The primary contribution is not to develop a novel system to combine two different communication methods: Email and SMS, but to propose models for prediction and labeling of critical emails. 2. How do the authors achieve this purpose? Why is the particular approach adopted? Related research shows the three ways of addressing the above mentioned problem: a. Manual Email Management b. Automatic Email Management c. Completion...

...Final Project “Email Marketing Effective Yet Challenging” Rebeca Machado Marketing Management, Section O Professor Dr. Nall November 23, 2014 “Email Marketing Effective Yet Challenging” Marketers always face the difficulty of knowing how much to spend on marketing. Like one once said, “I know that half of my advertisement is wasted, but I don’t know which half” (Kotler & Keller, 2012, p. 488), it is a challenge to know what part of their effort it is being effective and what is just a waste. One possible solution for this problem is email marketing campaigns. From a well targeted consumer contact list to a well designed email with an efficient and appealing subject line and short body message, emails are a very important tool in marketing (Carmen & Nicolae, 2010, p.737). Email marketing has several advantages but it must be administered effectively in order not to become intrusive and disregarded by consumers. An efficient email marketing campaign should benefit both the company and the customer (Alan, Chaudhary & Jason, 2010, p.188). Email is a very useful and easy tool to reach customers over large geographic areas -- even those across the world. There are several reasons why emails are beneficial when used in marketing. First, it is the fastest and, when used efficiently, can be an inexpensive way to reach customers (Bonfrer & Drèze, 2009, p. 251). Second, comparing with other marketing techniques, email marketing requires low implementation...

Common Theft include, customer information, financial records, software code, email lists, strategic plans, process documents, secret formulas, databases, research and development materials, and employee records.

...Communications Model” provided by University of Phoenix, students can analyze personal or professional communications they receive. “Every communication, whether it is real-time, such as with a face-to-face meeting or a telephone conversation, or asynchronous, as with email or fax” involves the same basic components (University of Phoenix). This paper will show how this model applies three such messages, received via email in two different virtual environments. One from an email account used for both personal and professional emails, and the other being a company sponsored website that employees are required to access at Murray County Emergency Medical Services (MCEMS). “Ninth Brain” Communications MCEMS requires employees routinely to visit a website, called Ninth Brain, to access company messages and individual emails. Each employee has his or her own personal code to access information. However, some messages are posted so that every employee can read them and gain a better understanding of company announcements, such as employee scheduling. A section, also available, has a discussion forum, where employees and management can publically post “conversations” for the benefit of every employee. Emails can be sent to a single person or multiple people. Recently, a message went out to every Field Training Officer (FTO) advising them on a mandatory meeting that they needed to attend. The purpose of the message was to inform all of the FTOs of a change of date for a previously...

...Email versus Instant Messaging and the Three Step Writing Process Paul Janoscak Nichols College BUS-615-HF2 Assignment 3.1 With the amount of communication that takes place today in business, it is important to understand the three step writing process and how to incorporate it in business communication. Two of the more common forms of communication in today’s business world are email and instant messaging. Both forms of communication offer pro’s and con’s for use in the work place. While instant messaging is conversational and has immediate feedback, email is a stronger professional method. Before sending a type of correspondence in the business world, it is vital to understand the three step writing process for business communication. Even though most people do not recognize they are taking part in the three step process, it is knowledgeable to understand the process so one can communicate on a business level and not just a social level. The first step of the three step process is planning. This step can be broken down into four pieces; analyzing the situation, gather information, selecting the right medium, and organize the information. To break it down it more simple terms, know what your audience needs, find the information your audience needs to know, selecting the source of communication, and selecting an approach to define your main idea (Karimbriscoe, 2012).

While writers often think their office e-mail is private, employers who own the systems have been upheld legally in their right to monitor e-mail for business reasons, and thus students should pay careful attention to the content and tone of their messages. Assigning e-mail projects in class helps students prepare for this important communications medium, work effectively in teams, and correspond with corporations as part of their classroom research.

...Communication technology: Electronic mail: Emails were first introduced during 1961 where users could login to mainframe computers and store information online.

Carbon copy enables you to send the same email to two or more people without having to send separate emails to people. The recipient will be able to see all the other recipients of the same message. In order to send a carbon copy to more than one recipient separate the emails addresses with a commas. It also allows you to inform recipients of the new receivers that have been added.
