Despite the global economic crisis in 2009, the popularity of online shopping remains strong in Asia Pacific, particularly in North Asian markets such as China, Japan and South Korea, which have the most electronic connectivities in the region. As mobile users have increased tremendously in this part of the world, it is obvious that mobile has played a major role for users to adopt as a payment device besides traditional online payment channels.

Trends and Moves in the Media, Entertainment and Convergence Sector

sorter:

Welcome to JobPod, a list of senior executive appointments within the Media, Entertainment and Convergence industry, compiled by Russell Reynolds Associates. We welcome any feedback you may have.

Hiring in the media sector showed signs of slight improvement in the last quarter of 2009, a trend which has continued in the first month of 2010. One small but significant change is the slight increase in CEO roles, perhaps hinting at stability, if not optimism, for the future. With new leaders at both ITV and Channel 4, we would expect a wave of movement across the TV landscape this coming year. Recruitment of on-line leaders remains a key focus for companies across the sector. Other segments, notably consumer publishing, remain subdued. We would expect these trends to continue, and the outlook for 2010 remains very uncertain.
