Scenario-Management for Information- and Communication Technology

Understanding future competition

Even though the search for the next long-term Kondratieff-cycle has already started - the information and communication industry still is referred to as a growing industry. Even in Germany about 800.000 people are employed in this sector and produce more than 150 Billion Euro. Still, the ICT industry is facing several uncertainties: How will ICT influence the every-day-life of the people? How will the growing-together of contents and end devices look like? How important is ICT concerning the further development of the global economy and new business models? Which position will the large and completely integrated telecommunication companies reach? Which new suppliers will enter the market?

These and other uncertainties are dealt with through Scenario-Management. The ScMI AG has manifold experience concerning Information and Communication Technology. Among others are the following reference projects:
