    Critical Elements for New Energy Technologies PANEL ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS An MIT Energy Initiative Workshop Report April 29, 2010 Critical Elements for New Energy Technologies PANEL ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS An MIT Energy Initiative Workshop Report April 29, 2010 Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT Energy Workshop on Critical Elements for New Energy Technologies | April 29, 2010 PREFACE About the Workshop on Critical Elements for New Energy Technologies On April 29th, 2010, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Energy Initiative (MITEI), together with the American Physical Society’s (APS) Panel on Public Affairs (POPA) and the Materials Research Society (MRS), co-sponsored a Workshop on Critical Elements for New Energy Technologies that took place at MITEI’s headquarters at MIT. The possibility that important new technologies for the generation, transmission, storage, or use of energy might be constrained by limitations on the availability of certain elements has only recently attracted signifi cant atten- tion. The purpose of the APS/MRS/MITEI workshop was to bring together experts in the diverse areas that bear on this novel issue and to try to determine the context, scope, complexity, and fi nally, the seriousness of the problem. The workshop also served as the kickoff for an APS/MRS study of energy-critical elements that will attempt to draw conclusions and recommend policy on this subject. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions that took place at the workshop. The core of the report is a rapporteur’s overview of the information presented by keynote speakers and the participants’ comments and points of view as they emerged in extensive discussion sessions.

  • Mobile Smart Fundamentals Mma Members Edition June 2014
    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JUNE 2014 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JUNE 2014 REPORT The Global Board Given our continuous march toward providing marketers the tools they need to successfully leverage mobile, it’s tempting to give you another week-by-week update on our DRUMBEAT. But, as busy as that’s been, I’d like to focus my introduction for this month’s Mobile Smart Fundamentals on the recent announcement we made regarding our Global Board. Our May 6th announcement that we would be welcoming the first CMO in the MMA’s history to take up the position of Global Chairperson was significant for many reasons, not least of which is the incredible insight and leadership that John Costello brings to the role. This was also one of our first steps to truly aligning the MMA to a new marketer-first mission. Subsequently, on June 25th, we were pleased to announce the introduction, re-election and continuation of committed leaders to the MMA’s Global Board (read full press release here). But perhaps most significantly of all, we welcomed a number of new Brand marketers and that list of Brands on the Global Board now includes The Coca-Cola Company, Colgate-Palmolive, Dunkin’ Brands, General Motors, Mondelez International, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Visa and Walmart. http://www.mmaglobal.com/about/board-of-directors/global To put this into context, the board now comprises 80% CEOs and Top 100 Marketers vs. three years ago where only 19% of the board comprised CEOs and a single marketer, with the majority being mid-level managers.

By investigating this intense M&A, this paper ambitions a better understanding of the Big Five's strategies. To do so, we identify 6 different user groups gravitating around these multi-sided companies along with each company's most important market segments. We then track their mergers and acquisitions and match them with the segments. This exercise shows that these five firms use M&A activity mostly to strengthen their core market segments but rarely to expand their activities into new ones. Furthermore, most of the acquired products are shut down post acquisition, which suggests that GAFAM mainly acquire firm’s assets (functionality, technology, talent or IP) to integrate them in their ecosystem rather than the products and users themselves. For these tech giants, therefore, acquisition appears to be a substitute for in-house R&D. Finally, from our check for possible "killer acquisitions", it appears that just a single one in our sample could potentially be qualified as such.

  • Display/Electronic Materials the Age of Components and Materials
    Display/Electronic Materials The age of components and materials Favorable environment to continue in 2015 Overweight (Initiate) In 2014, panel makers thrived on the back of tight supply and demand conditions caused Initiation Report by rising demand for larger TV screens. In 2015, we believe industry conditions will remain favorable. Indeed, TV panel prices remained on a slight upward trajectory as of January 23, 2015 January 20 th . Supply and demand conditions still appear tight, though not as tight as in 2H14. We Daewoo Securities CCCo.,Co., Ltd. forecast such conditions to continue at least through 1H. The impact of Chinese [Display/IT Materials] companies’ capacity ramp-ups, scheduled to start coming online in 2H, should be limited this year. Young Ryu +822-768-4138 Robust demand for larger TVs to limit supply growth [email protected] In 2015, demand is projected to grow 6.8% YoY (based on shipment area), with LCD panel capacity rising 6.8% YoY. We anticipate largely balanced supply and demand conditions this year, and most new capacity is expected to come online starting in 2 H. Given 1) the tight supply and demand conditions in 2014 and 2) the fact that LCD production tends to increase in 2H, supply and demand in the LCD industry are likely to strike a balance heading into 2H. We foresee robust demand in 2015, aided by 1) the start of the TV replacement cycle, 2) TV manufacturers’ aggressive sales plans, 3) limited supply growth due to the shift to larger TV sizes, 4) substitute demand following the end of plasma display panel (PDP) production, and 5) continued growth in demand from emerging markets.

In this paper, we provide detailed information and statistics on the merger activity of the GAFAM and on the characteristics of the firms they acquire. One of the most intriguing features of these acquisitions is that, in the majority of cases, the product of the target is discontinued under its original brand name post acquisition and this is especially true for the youngest firms. There are three reasons to discontinue a product post acquisition: the product is not as successful as expected, the acquisition was not motivated by the product itself but by the target's assets or R&D effort, or by the elimination of a potential competitive threat. While our data does not enable us to screen between these explanations, the present analysis shows that most of the startups are killed in their infancy. This important phenomenon calls for tighter intervention by competition authorities in merger cases involving big techs.

Plus, get an update on past winners and read opinions from innovators on what will win in coming years . In big data centers, even the fastest servers get slowed by bottlenecks in the connections between microprocessors, or nodes. Lightfleet's technology aims to eliminate the bottlenecks by replacing the wired switches typically used to manage these connections with a device that sends a data-carrying beam of light to all the nodes at once. The faster transmission of data promises to make it possible, for example, to run Wall Street's high-speed trading operations more efficiently. The company, founded in 2003, delivered a prototype of its first product earlier this year to Microsoft Research, the R&D arm of the computer giant, which will test how it handles different applications. A Lightfleet spokesman says the company expects the first commercial sales by the middle of next year.
