Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights report provides analysis of trends in the
technology-oriented value chain (TOVC) segments based on our performance index.
The report then outlines key IT investment areas and includes survey-based
spending data that can be used for benchmarking. TOVCs are structured around
rapidly iterating technology cycles that form the underpinning for global
products sold to both institutions and consumers. Segments include
semiconductor, contract manufacturing, high-tech equipment, and consumer
electronics. Issues across these segments remain fairly consistent. "TOVC
segments represent industry segments that are dealing with a huge number of new
products each year, geographic expansion, and heightened competition. Smart IT
investment will be a major contributor for those companies that realize
success," said Bob Parker, VP of Research at Manufacturing Insights.
