>> Putting up a website quickly may have nothing whatsoever to do with improving productivity either by reducing the costs of Inputs or raising the Value of Outputs I don't want to argue with a PH but the productivity gains came from the implementation of information technology. The root of that gain comes from the architecture used. Computers weren't invented in the early 90's. Putting up a website is a simple example that allowed companies to get rid of whole departments whose sole purpose was to provide information. Also, the main cost in software is maintenance not initial development. HTML and client-server revolutionize this. >> And implementing one web process does not eliminate all further opportunities to innovate or make substantial improvements in that same process or other business processes which improve the overall business. Boy, does that sound like a pointy-hair. Hey mitch, keep telling yourself that's an important project you're working on. I think all my projects were (wink, wink) "important", "critical".
