前年的5月,尼古拉斯·卡尔(NicholasG.Carr)的题为《ITDoesn’tMatter》的文章在美国《HarvardBusinessReview》刊出,引起了轩然大波,一场质疑IT价值、触及整个IT业命运的世纪论战由此开火。几乎所有的重要媒体、IT业界巨头尤其是CIO、商业界重量级人物和专家学者们都积极参战发表看法。去年的5月,卡尔出了一本书《DoesITMatter?———InformationTechnologyandtheCorrosionofCompetitiveAdvantage》,似乎想让论战深入下去。卡尔宣称“:企业应该减少对信息科技的支出,要当新技术的追随者而非先行者,要注重信息科技的‘防弊’而非‘兴利’。”通用电气主席兼首席执行官杰弗瑞·伊梅尔特说,‘IT无用论’的文章是非常愚蠢的。在市场生长缓慢并且风险不断增高的现实环境下,科技创新对企业来说是势在必行的选择。”在美国,迅速增长的IT投资,似乎没有得到明显的回报,人们开始质疑IT价值。2001年10月17日,麦肯锡公布研究报告《IT与生产力》,宣称:占经济总量69%的53个行业部门为生产力增长的贡献率仅为0.3%。尽管IT投资浪潮中62%的资金增长是投入在这53个部门,但它们中的大多数遭受了生产力下降的厄运。”《纽约时报》刊登出IBM战略主管WladawskyBerger的观点:IT业已经进入“后技术时代”。在这样的背景下,卡尔挑起了论战。今年,争论随着时间的推移终于趋于平淡。沉寂过后是回归理性的最为清醒的时刻。在卡尔《ITDoesn’tMatter》刊发两周年之际,本刊编辑部特邀请中国科学院的研究员对此进行了分析。
In May of the previous year Nicholas G. Carr’s article entitled “IT Domains” Matter was published in the United States “Harvard Business Review,” causing a great uproar, a century war that challenged the value of IT and hit the fate of the IT industry. This fire. Almost all major media, IT industry giants, especially CIOs, business celebrities and experts and scholars are actively participating in the war to express their views. Last May, Carl published a book “Does ITMatter? --- InformationTechnologyandtheCorrosionofCompetitiveAdvantage”, seems to want the depth of the debate. Carl declared: “Businesses should reduce spending on information technology, followers of new technology rather than forerunners, and pay attention to information technology ’cheating’ rather than ’Xing Li.’” GE’s chairman and chief executive officer Jeff Rui Immelt said that the article on “IT uselessness” is very stupid. In a real-world environment where the market is slow to grow and risky, technology innovation is an imperative option for businesses. “In the United States, it appears that the rapidly growing IT investment has not been significantly rewarded, and people are starting to question the value of IT. On October 17, 2001, McKinsey released its research report,” IT and Productivity, “declaring: 69% of the total economy The contribution of industry sectors to productivity growth was only 0.3%. While 62% of the IT investment wave was invested in these 53 sectors, most of them suffered a productivity decline. ”The New York Times, Wladawsky Berger, IBM’s strategy director, is published: The IT industry has entered a “post-technology era.” In this context, Carl challenged the debate. This year, the debate finally tends to be dull over time. After silence is the most lucid moment to return to reason. At the second anniversary of Karl “ITDoesn’tMatter”, the editorial department of the magazine specially invited researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to conduct an analysis.
