November 2005
In the inaugural issue of Converge, a publication exploring issues affecting the technology, communications and media sector, we present three articles examining the issue of convergence as well as expansion into new and developing markets:
- Leadership lessons from the VoIP battlefield highlights the fierce competition in telecommunications for the top management talent required to succeed in a market where change is being quickened by increasingly sophisticated consumers attracted to Internet-based technologies.
- In The changing demands of leadership in an era of convergence we spoke to Ira Kurgan, chief business officer of Yahoo!'s media group, about technology, communications and media companies’ scramble to compete in areas beyond their traditional silos of operation – and the resultant search for executives from a range of industries to help them succeed in these new arenas.
- Navigating China tackles the issue many technology, communications and media companies are currently facing: How to build or expand their business in China as a strong presence in that country becomes increasingly important for companies aiming to capture and sustain global advantage.
