Abstract
In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art regarding research on information overload in organizations, a major problem of the e-society. We review scientific studies from the last thirty years in order to compile the most relevant causes of information overload and possible countermeasures. We summarize our findings from business related research in a conceptual framework that can be used to measure information overload empirically in order to assess the extent of overload or the effectiveness of countermeasures.
