Carr Harvard Business Review, 2003 "Focus on risks, not opportunities" Nicholas Carr's article is at the centre of a firestorm. At a time when the IT industry seems to be in a bottomless freefall, the suggestion that companies should spend even less on IT investments is unwelcome to many ears.

Previous analysts' reports have compared IT to such rustbelt ...             IT Doesn't Matter-Business Processes Do: A Critical Analysis of Nicholas Carr's I.T.
