The Enterprise of the Future: ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY EDITION

We conducted 1,130 interviews with chief executives, general managers, business leaders and public-sector heads in the course of completing the research for our third biennial Global CEO Study, which aims to identify the key characteristics of the Enterprise of the Future. Here we focus on the responses of the 74 CEOs who run electronics companies. Almost all of these leaders were interviewed by IBM executives in face-to-face meetings lasting one hour.

Our findings show that the Enterprise of the Future is:

• Hungry for change
• Innovative beyond customer imagination
• Globally integrated
• Disruptive by nature
• Genuine, not just generous.
