Abstract This study reports results of an experiment conducted to compare response rates and response content in mail and electronic mail surveys. Respondents on a large global network (Internet) were sent mail and e-mail surveys assessing their attitudes towards the commercialisation of the Internet. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of five groups (group 1: regular mail no prenotification, no incentives, no reminders; group 2: regular mail with prenotification, incentives, and wave mailing; group 3 and group 4 were e-mail replications of group 1 and 2; and group 5 international group but otherwise same as group 4). The results highlight the strengths and weaknesses of using electronic mail for gathering information from domestic and international respondents.
