Big Picture of IT Globalization

Author: Mark Raskino, VP & Gartner Fellow, Emerging Trends & Technologies


I'm wondering how business people and professionals in China and India feel when they hear the word "Chindia" on business TV channels or read it in the press? After all, these are two very different nations, with different strengths and weaknesses across the various IT sectors. This year we'll be giving a lot of attention to what's going on in each country. What's your initial reaction to that? I am guessing that if you don't care much now, you might do soon because those countries will maintain high growth rates even while some of the major Western nations go though an economic downturn. That means your business leadership team is more and more likely to want to do business in China and India, directly or indirectly – and they'll be coming to you for IT support. We have it covered. Partha Iyengar has a whole track looking at the IT Globalization big picture.
