We are living in an age of unprecedented industry change, as industries as diverse as retail, media and manufacturing are undergoing rapid, and often unpredictable, transformation.

To understand the degree to which organisations are experiencing industry change globally and how they are responding, Frost & Sullivan surveyed 1,500 senior executives (CEOs, CFOs, CIOs and other senior managers) in seven countries (Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, the UK and the US). Respondents spanned all major industry sectors, ranging from manufacturing to retail.

The research shows that most executives not only agree that their industry is rapidly undergoing transformation, but that flexibility and adaptability are increasingly becoming key factors for survival.
