We're a progressive company, always looking to be ahead of the power curve. We'll give anything a whirl if it'll put us ahead of the competition, and that includes every one of us," says I. B. Daring, an executive with Michigan Manufacturing (2M). You are interviewing him as a preliminary step in a systems project, one in which his subordinates have expressed interest. As you listen to I. B., you look around his office to see that most of the information he has stored on shelves can be classified as internal procedures manuals. In addition, you notice a PC on a back table of I. B.'s office. The monitor's screen is covered with dust, and the manuals stacked beside the PC are still encased in their original shrink-wrap. Even though you know that 2M uses an intranet, no cables are visible going to or from I. B.'s PC. You look up behind I. B.'s massive mahogany desk to see on the wall five framed oil portraits of 2M's founders, all clustered around a gold plaque bearing the corporate slogan, which states, "Make sure you're right, then go ahead."
