...Facebook, social networking, technology, advertising, data, Internet user, global market, application development, mobile, beacon Analysis of Facebook to Develop a Business Strategy Maintaining Revenue Growth in the Future Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook in a dorm room at the campus of Harvard University in February 2004. Its initial purpose was to form a social network exclusive to Harvard, allowing the viewing of students’ personal details to the entire student body and to create a platform for communication. Within four months, Facebook had expanded to thirty colleges and had 150,000 users. With a large capital investment backing, Zuckerberg left Harvard to incorporate Facebook, Inc. (FB) and develop its platform full-time (Eisenmann, Piskorski, & Smith, 2014). In 2006, FB had developed an algorithm that revolutionized targeted marketing. The algorithm used the user provided data to target content and...

...Corporate Finance | Case Study: Facebook (FB) | | | | Question 1 (Focus: FB’s 2012 annual report) (1) What is the business model of FB, i.e., how do they generate revenues? Facebook is the biggest social-media platform worldwide with $1.06 billion MAU (monthly active users) and $618 million DAU (daily active users). Its business model is set up on three pillars: Facebook users, developers and marketers. a) Users Facebook creates a direct value proposition for Users. The company creates value for users by enabling users to * Connect and Share with friends * Discover and Learn about News around the world shared by the user’s personal contacts * Express themselves and share what they think about and what matters to them * Stay connected everywhere, especially due to Facebook mobile applications. With its users Facebook does not generate direct revenues, since the usage of all Facebook products are free of charge. However the users indirectly generate revenues. It is only possible for Facebook to create revenues with marketers and developers because of its amount of users. b) Developers Developers get attracted by the huge customer base of Facebook. They have the opportunity to build up applications and websites which connect with Facebook. Facebook offers a variety of tools and application programming interfaces on its Facebook Developers Platform that easily interacts with Facebook. Due to that easy access there are more than 10...

Lucas MBA6008 Global Economic Environment Instructor: Lester Hadsell Abstract The Coffee Crisis case study illustrates how the decline in coffee consumption and the rise of coffee production was addressed by the governments of coffee producing countries in 2004. The coffee market was identified, defined and explained in the context of both international nature and structure. The new entrants into the coffee market were identified and examined.

...Essays on the Structure of Financial Markets A thesis presented by Oved Yosha to The Department of Economics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Economics Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts May 1992 Abstract Chapter I: Adverse selection in an insurance market may result in low-risk individuals remaining uncovered. In the framework of a monopolistic insurance market with private information, it is shown that government entry to the market as a competitor which sells insurance, results in all potential buyers actually purchasing insurance. Chapter II: The welfare trade off between reduction in risk and enhanced market power, as depository institutions become larger but fewer, is studied. The main result is that when there are enough independent risks in the economy, it is possible to achieve high diversification through mergers between depository institutions at a very small cost in terms of greater market power. Chapter III: Firms wishing to issue securities on the stock market are required to disclose private information which might be beneficial to competitors. Issuing securities publicly is more costly than doing so privately. In equilibrium, firms with sensitive information issue securities privately, while competitors cannot unambiguously infer that the information withheld is very sensitive. This suggests that one special role of banks and venture capital in financial markets, is to provide debt and...
