SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technology is—and always has been—the agent of disruption. Are tech companies themselves now vulnerable to tumultuous change? Take a page from the media business: not long ago a staid, popular and profitable industry. Today, it’s a shambles, with every company scrambling to adapt to rapid transformation—or die.
