Other things to try searching on anything CIO related, Corporate Strategy, Value, IT Management, Enterprise Portfolio Management. Check HBR, MIT Sloan Management Review, McKinsey Quarterly. Check Bitpipe for white papers http://www.bitpipe.com/. Check out META Group, Gartner, Forrester, Jupiter - there is some free stuff on their websites.

Good IT strategy sites:
Working Council for CIOs
http://www.cio.executiveboard.com/CIO/1,1431,,00.html?first=Y
Metagroup, Gartner, IDC (good but expensive)
ACM and IEEE have some good views in their articles as well.

Others (free)
ITIL - http://www.ogc.gov.uk/index.asp?id=2261
Santa Fe Institute - http://www.santafe.edu/index.html
SEI Institute - http://seir.sei.cmu.edu/

Since you didn't ask for specific tech sites, etc; I'll leave those out for now. But do know about whatis.com (whatis.techtarget.com) and techtarget.com http://searchtechtarget.techtarget.com/

Two items that may assist you are (If you have access to them):
Faulkner Advisory for IT Studies
A good journal database, e.g., ABI Inform, or Ebsco Business Source Premier

If you haven't already, you might want to look at Gartner (http://www.gartner.com) and Forrester (http://www.forrester.com) and maybe even the MetaGroup (http://www.metagroup.com) and IDC (http://www.idc.com).

You would have to pay for any full text documents that you get from these web sites but they might be useful. Two words of warning, their search engines are kind of clunky and their reports can be very expensive but they do have useful information. If you have access to Dialog/Datastar you could check the computer databases and market analyst databases for information. Also if you have access to Dialog's Profound service you can search the reports from a number of market analyst firms in one database. They you can buy the full report or in some cases buy just the section of the report that is of interest. There are also other web sites that index the market analyst reports and sell them such as MindBranch (http://www.mindbranch.com) and MarketResearch.com (http://www.marketresearch.com). These sites sell only the full reports, you can't purchase sections of reports.
