Government Professional Services (GPS) workshop : session #5 : later history -- growth and adaptation
<p>This session covers what happened in the 1980s after the GPS companies were well established. What were the marketing and technical differences among the markets and services among the various companies? What were the changes in organization and mission and how did they affect the positioning and success (or failure) of these companies? What happened to the independent companies after their first successes? How did they grow? What new financing did they require? When did they go public and what were the results? Did they venture into other business areas? Did they introduce software or hardware products? Was there more systems integration rather than in-house development? Who were some of the new competitors and what effect did they have on the nature of the business? Did the organizations and management have to change to accommodate these changes in the markets and technologies?</p>
