This document summarizes the key findings of a study on IT management trends in Europe in 2015. The top 5 IT management concerns for European organizations are: 1) business and IT alignment, 2) business agility, 3) business cost reduction/controls, 4) business productivity, and 5) infrastructure capability. Alignment and business agility have consistently ranked as top concerns globally and in Europe. The document also discusses trends in IT spending, workforce, the role of the CIO, and skills needed for IT professionals. Overall, IT is becoming more strategic and focused on business priorities like innovation and digital transformation.
1) The document discusses how innovation does not always lead to increases in productivity and discusses recent trends showing declines in productivity growth and increases in markups.
2) It presents a framework for analyzing productivity at the micro and macro levels and the role of firm decisions, market environment, and policy.
3) The document proposes several policy directions to help innovation translate into productivity gains, such as rethinking intellectual property, ensuring income solidarity, and using data and AI to evaluate policy.

However, a reference to several case study examples has been included at the end of this document as a reminder of the broad applicability of the subject at hand.
The intent of this document is to set in motion the discussion for the creation of a startup in South Africa that is focused on data science.

Tech M&A Monthly: When You are ApproachedCorum Group
In today’s competitive Tech M&A environment, more and more firms were being approached by potential acquirers. Here at Corum, we are seeing more and more companies coming to us after they have been approached, but only those who manage discussions properly will get a deal done.
