Should be a 'YES-YES' - see here, particularly 'Why Sharpening is Needed':

Sharpening -- Part I

See also the late Bruce Fraser's ('an internationally recognised authority on digital imaging') 288 page book 'Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop CS2'.

Sharpening is not a 'cheat' to fix substandard images, it's an essential part of producing a digital image for display.
