I'd been called away from my desk for a while and finally got caught up on my email. This is a belated contribution to the discussion, but I thought I should point out the article "Corporate Startegies for Information Technology: A Resource-Based approach" by Eric Clemons in the IEEE Computer, Nov. 1991. Since I'm still trying to get caught up on things other than email, I can only summarize my recollections and see if that stimulates interest in getting further details. The article primarily presented the case for sharing information between corporations, and had a number of examples to support his thesis, or portions thereof. The examples were both positive, directly supporting his case, or negative, arguing against an alternative. To whet your interest, I'll note that some of the examples were Rosenbluth Travel, Provident National Bank, The Big Bang, McKesson Drug, Barclays de Zoete World Trade, and The New York Cash Exchange.

P.S.: This discussion, though interesting and useful, seems to misuse the all-iceimt mailing list as I understand it. My own contribution is also "guilty" in this regard. So I'm sending a note to action-officers-iceimt indicating preliminary need for a discussio-oriented mailing list. Let them know if you feel such a need as well.
