In the motion picture production and distribution sector consumer spending drives demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on creativity, marketing, and distribution. Large companies have the advantages of long term contracts with key actors and directors, a permanent staff of technical employees, and wide distribution networks. Small companies compete by creating marketable movies, often for niche audiences, on low budgets. Although production work is labor-intensive, the value of the product results in high average annual industry revenue of US$300,000 per employee.

This is IBM (IBM): Big Blue is the world's top provider of computer products and services. IBM is a leader in every market in which it competes, the company makes mainframes and servers, storage systems, and peripherals.

Its IT services arm is the largest in the world and the company is also one of the largest providers of software, ranking #2, behind Microsoft, and semiconductors.The Competitive Landscape

Demand forIT services is driven by rapid technological advances, but spending for these expensive products depends on the health of the US economy. The profitability of companies in the industry depends on maintainingtechnical expertiseand on goodmarketing. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing in market niches or by partnering with larger companies that want to offer a broad array of services. Only the large companies can provide outsourcing services to big corporate customers. Average annualrevenue per employeeis close to US$200,000.

Information Technology Industry ForecastThe output of US computer and data processing is forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of 6.1% between 2008 and 2013.
