1. Several of the readings highlight the differences between firms in realising IT value. What do you think are the biggest factors in creating these differences?

2.This week’s readings highlight various perspectives of an ongoing debate about the role of IT in providing value. Even though some of these articles were written over a decade ago, they are still remarkably relevant to today’s business environment.  I believe you could take the dates off of the articles and it would be difficult to tell they were not written recently.  Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Why do you think there is such a discussion about IT value?
