The 21st century has, so far, been both difficult and productive for the global technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industry. The combination of difficult economic conditions, volatile relationships with the financial sector, fickle consumer behaviour and general insecurity following the bursting of the dotcom bubble have provided some of the significant challenges that TMT CEOs have faced.  However, the steady and cumulatively disruptive advances in bandwidth, processing power and digital storage have helped to redefine existing markets and creating new opportunities on an unprecedented scale.

Over the remainder of the decade, TMT industry leaders need to ensure their strategies will avoid costly mistakes and exploit opportunities. This report identifies five of the most critical issues that TMT executives will likely face in the next five years:

• Making sense of China and India – as suppliers and customers.
• Capitalizing on new and improved technologies.
• Knowing who your adversaries are going to be.
• Innovating the business model.
• Creating the next blockbuster.

Success in each of these issues will hinge on the insight, preparedness and actions of the CEO and the senior management team.
