Some economists have argued that good management-rather than more computing power-is the key to higher productivity, but they have lacked convincing proof. IT has moved from enabler to a driver.

Now, however, a new study of 100 manufacturing companies in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States supports the view that IT expenditures have little impact on productivity unless they are accompanied by first-rate management practices-as reported by McKinsey. Indeed, companies can significantly raise their productivity solely by improving the way they operate and integrate IT to better their operations.
