We couldn't agree more, and particularly like how Collins characterizes technology as an "accelerator of greatness already in place, never the principal cause of greatness or decline." ("How Great Companies Tame Technology." Newsweek.

PR/Marketing/Social Media/etc. cannot create a good organization, it can only be expected to enhance it. (I believe Jim Collins eludes to that in Good to Great as well).
