Yeah, blame "IT", never the out of touch managers who are in charge of picking the team and projects. Classic The Economist attitude.

Market for Lemons and all that.

The article isn't blaming people. It's blaming old technology.

The economist is thinking at the economy-wide structural level. It would be a weird claim for the economist to make that the problem is just that people are promoting the wrong managers and that there's some simple fix for this problem.
