Due to the speed of technological change, information and communications technology plays an increasingly important role for many companies. At the same time, the distinction between high-tech and traditional industries is becoming smaller. Frequently, this represents a challenge to market mechanisms, established business models and legal thinking, but also provides opportunities for those who manage to exploit their business's potential.
