Industry Challenges
The next decade will reshape the technology, media, and telecommunications sectors. Whether they make products or offer services, companies operating in such industries will continue to face challenges that come with rapid pace and that will profoundly influence future market dynamics.
In telecommunications, data technologies allow today operators to offer broader services and tap into new revenue streams - but also enable new entrants to attack the voice profit sanctuary. Mobile markets are reaching saturation – but the mobile internet may be the next “big thing”. Convergence is finally for real, notably with the IT business. Mobile networks will be increasingly outsourced, triggering both opportunities and threats for the operators.
Technology companies’ goods and services can quickly become commodities, forcing such players to drive continuous innovation , and triggering an increasing shift towards a more value-added-services focused offering
In the media sector, new communication platforms are driving major shifts in consumer behavior and advertising. Companies are completely rethinking their business models and may also benefit from major industry discontinuities (e.g. transition to DTT) to further push their agenda and strengthen or differentiate their current customer value proposition
