Another major factor for 9to5 is probably having a common time that businesses are open. Many businesses need to interact with a multitude of other companies during their working hours. Having the same working hours as every other company you need to interact with makes scheduling meetings/phonecalls/etc a lot easier, or reduces the need for scheduling and the overhead that comes with it. I'm sure there's a good way to solve this too, but I can't think of one off the top of my head at the moment.
- ethbro 11y agoThis is absolutely true for a number of businesses, however as things are becoming more global (or at least one part of the human touch is) I believe it's fading. I think a lot of processes could be migrated to asynchronous B2B communication without an overall impact on efficiency. Indeed, probably some gains from batching similar parcels of work together as opposed to a day of "What about X1?" "What about Y1?" "What about X2?" etc etc.
