There are still bosses without cell phones
MA Leader Not all executives can be reached by cell phone, but almost all of them can be reached via the Internet.
MA Leader Not all managers can be reached by cell phone, but almost all can be reached via the Internet Around 93 percent of Swiss-German leaders and top leaders have at least one cell phone in their household, but a good 3 percent do not use cell phones. This is the result of the MA Leader survey. 20 percent of the leaders and 24 percent of the top leaders even use several cell phones. However, very few of them, namely 15% of the leaders and 18% of the top leaders, have subscribed to SMS services. Almost half, namely 42 to 46 percent of managers, also have other mobile devices such as a Palm, pocket PC or handheld.5.5 and 4 percent of managers and top managers in French-speaking Switzerland, respectively, manage without a cell phone. Accordingly, more people (around 80 percent of all managers) do without SMS services. 40 percent of them have other mobile tools at their disposal.
At around 70%, interest in the Internet is quite pronounced in German-speaking Switzerland, with French-speaking Switzerland only slightly behind at 66%. Nevertheless, their hearts beat slightly stronger for e-commerce (38%), while the German-speaking Swiss have fewer preferences here (37%).
Only a few internet grouches
Around 95 percent of all managers now use the Internet regularly in some form (narrower user group), but even here there is still a vanishingly small number of people who can apparently manage without the Internet. In German-speaking Switzerland, there are just under 1000 managers, in French-speaking Switzerland slightly fewer.
In terms of usage, it is not surprising that the Internet is used everywhere and at all management levels with the same preferences: e-mail is at the top of the list, followed by the use of search engines, then retrieving addresses and telephone numbers and finally access to timetables and flight schedules. All of these options are used by over 90 percent of Swiss leaders and top leaders. However, between 80 and 90 percent of them also surf for entertainment or retrieve up-to-date information from daily newspapers and other providers.
In French-speaking Switzerland, more than 80 percent make purchases or reservations via the Internet, compared to a maximum of 79 percent in German-speaking Switzerland. Up to 65 percent of managers in both parts of the country carry out private banking transactions via the web, but when it comes to connections between companies and banks, they are more cautious (47 percent at most).
