Why Does The Digital Entertainment Evolution Matter?

This is part of a five part series:

Digital Entertainment is creating a significant disruption within the industry. Although society’s demand for entertainment and leisure services will continue to grow, the users’ perceptions of value, the types of services that are relevant, and the methods of consumption will continue to ride the wave of change that has already begun. These shifts and changes mean that companies attempting to succeed in the Digital Entertainment space need to flexibly evolve their underlying business models to capture new methods for capitalization of content.

Disruptive change introduces significant threats to those already involved in the market, but also presents significant opportunities to those who can find and implement the services of the future. There is no doubt that in an industry already worth US$1.4 trillion that will continue to outgrow GDP there are going to be some very big winners.
