  • How is the industry changing? Morphing. So many companies. So many technologies. So many sectors coming together and competing. So many ideas. So much change. So quickly.
  • How to market going forward. Advertising and public relations. How to remain fresh and keep on the radar while the industry is reinventing itself. Examining new opportunities and new challenges.

Says Kagan, "The technology industry and all its sectors continues to transform itself. Every year existing companies are moving into new areas. Apple moved into wireless with the iPhone. Google and Microsoft are now in the cell phone software business. Computer companies are selling netbooks in wireless stores. What's next?

"The opportunities are huge, incredible, but the risks are just as large. Companies have to make moves into new areas. They have to grow and expand. They have to re-make themselves or risk becoming irrelevant and stagnant.

"Through laughter and tears, through cheers and jeers, it's time to prepare for the opportunities and the challenges of 2010, 2011 and beyond.

"Lead. If you don't, your competitor will."
