ZDNet has an article on the inferior IT which doomed the expansion of the Target stores into Canada.

Business school case studies tend to fall into two categories: epic wins and oh-my-gosh-how-could-they-possibly-have-been-so-stupid epic failures. This article discusses a real-world billion dollar story that falls into the second category. As epic failures go, this one is worthy of the history books. The moral of the story: IT drives the enterprise.
