Most high-tech firms know how important these influences are to their fortunes and put a lot of effort into influencing them.

I essentially pioneered the field in the 1980s, wrote the first book on it (about to come out in its third edition) and have worked with most of the important analyst firms on the planet.

Now that I'm leaving full-time university teaching, I'm open to consulting, part-time work or a full-time job in this field.

Naturally, since this is FT, travel is not a problem!
