The method for analysing a vertical software industry which has been elaborated and used in this book is described shortly below; this method can be applied for the analysis of other vertical software markets as well as for the creation and expansion of manager’s toolboxes similar to the one in Chapter 15.
The vertical software industry analysis method used has the following main phases: Baseline creation Indicator calculation Analysis Scenario creation Scenario evaluation Figure 1 visualizes the first three phases related to data collection and analysis while the two latter phases are related to formalizing the results as scenarios.
