Gartner's 2014 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies Maps the Journey to Digital Business [Gartner newsroom]

From Gartner’s annual emerging technology hype cycle summary

"The central theme for this year's Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle is Digital Business (see Figure 1). As enterprises embark on the journey to becoming digital businesses, they will leverage technologies that today are considered to be "emerging," said Hung LeHong, vice president and Gartner fellow. "Understanding where your enterprise is on this journey and where you need to go will not only determine the amount of change expected for your enterprise, but also map out which combination of technologies support your progression."
