More than just a moniker, the "Digital Age" truly signifies a new
era for integrated products. The ability to process digital information
has provided opportunity for manufacturers
to offer systems, instead of stand-alone products. These systems
are multi-faceted and can perform functions that traditionally involved
multiple devices.
Group F (GF) Consortium was created to analyze how developing
such system-like products influenced the formation of company alliances. Are companies
still able to provide complete, top-down solutions by themselves or will the
encompassing nature of these products force them to rethink
their strategies? And if alliances are inevitable, what forms of alliances
and relationships are most beneficial to ensure that the end systems
are successful with consumers? We invite you to find
out.
