As Tony has referenced, the answer will depend upon what industry you are referring to. There is an article in R News (2004 Vol 4 Number 1) that you might find of interest entitled "The Decision to Use R" from a small medical consulting business perspective: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2004-1.pdf There is a persistent rumor of a similar article from a large corporate medical industry environment that is due "real soon now"... ;-) You might also want to search the r-help archives as there have been some fairly "lively" discussions on this in the recent past, especially in healthcare applications when a certain other Statistical Analysis System is referenced as being the perceived standard...
