Transforming IDG

Colin Crawford talks in his blog about the big transformations in IDG's business. He notes "Today the absolute dollar growth of our online revenues now exceeds the decline in our print revenues. This occurred in the US in 2006 and in Europe during the last quarter". I wonder about Asia where IDG is the largest B2B/tech media player by far outside Japan.

It's hard to imagine that things in Asia will be so different from what Colin describes where "we’ve changed the business mission of our organization away from print. Going forward IDG Communications will define itself as a web centric information company complemented by expos, events and print publications." No accident, I'm sure that print comes last in that list.
