May 27th & 28th, 2015
Topic
The dynamic, ever changing nature of the Information & Communications Technology(ICT) Industry is a challenge for business planners and forecasters. The rise of Twitter and the sudden demise of Blackberry are dramatic examples of the uncertainties of the industry; these events clearly demonstrate how radically the environment can change. Similarly, predicting demand, market penetration, new markets, and the impact of new innovations in the ICT sector offer a challenge to businesses and policymakers. This Workshop will focus on forecasting new services and innovation in this sector as well as the theory and practice of forecasting in the sector (Telcos, IT providers, OTTs, manufacturers).
The ICT & Innovation Forecasting Workshops are intended as a forum for discussion of new and recent research and application in this field. Their aim is to bring together researchers and professionals interested in the application of forecasting methods in ICT, telecommunications and innovation in a relatively small two days annual workshop We are pleased to announce that The Second Workshop on ICT and Innovation Forecasting will be held at ESSEC Business School, La Defense Campus, Paris, France, on 27 and 28 May 2015. ICT & Innovation Forecasting series of workshops was launched in London in 2014.
