Technology
The high-tech industry has experienced unprecedented growth over the past decade. The Internet became a common part of infrastructure, and a range of new players entered the market, bringing a flood of new products and a surge in market valuations.
But the industry’s recent downturn has left companies to cope with overcapacity, cash shortages, tumbling share prices, and sharply reduced customer spending. This perfect storm of events may undermine some companies’ very survival, as the industry experiences consolidation in multiple segments, and focuses on cost and operational improvements, rather than top-line growth, to drive earnings.
