Economic forces are dismantling established players and unsteadying others as segments of our industry are pressured in expected and unexpected ways. The dismantling of Knight Ridder, privatization of VNU and the sale of family stock at Forbes represent but a few examples of how companies have fared. What is happening in the market that is forcing companies to change? Which industry sectors will be invested in or divested from? Which business models do companies need to embrace for continued economic growth? Our panel of industry experts from the consulting and investment community will share their points of view on these economic forces and how they will impact your companies.
