Wouldn't it depend on the business? Microsoft, Sun, HR Block, Google, Yahoo, et al, have benefitted. What about banks? What about online stock brokers?
Mom and POp hardware stores probably as a group have not benefitted.
I'm finding it hard to find evidence that the growth of the internet has had a positive effect on businesses and organisations.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks for the help.

One obvious bit of evidence is the actual presence of e-commerce. Retailers, etc. would not bother with e-commerce (at least in any serious way) unless e-commerce were profitable.
That said, here is a link to a department of commerce study on the growing size of e-commerce.
