  • The Performance of Private Equity-Backed Ipos and the Effect of M&A-Activity – a European Study
    Archive no: School of Economics and Management Department of Business and Administration FEKP90, Business Administration - Degree Project Master of Science in Business and Economics Spring term 2011, Lund The Performance of Private Equity-backed IPOs and the Effect of M&A-activity – A European Study Author: Linus Johansson Tutor: Rikard Larsson Abstract Title: The Performance of Private Equity-backed IPOs and the effect of M&A-activity – A European Study Seminar date: 2011-05-24 Course: Master Thesis in Business Administration, 30 University Credit Points (30 ECTS). Author: Linus Johansson Tutor: Rikard Larsson Five key words: BHAR, IPO, Performance, Private Equity, M&A Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how private equity-backed IPOs perform once they go public. That is, to investigate whether or not these private equity firms have created highly competitive, high- performance portfolio companies and to see if the portfolio companies are able to retain those qualities even after going public. These results are then to be compared with previous research done on the general IPO and its short- and long-term performance. It also sets out to measure what effect M&A-activity during the fund holding period may have on the fund companies after being exited onto the public market. Methodology: The performance of the private equity-backed IPOs has been measured as the abnormal return using two methods, cumulative abnormal returns and buy-and-hold abnormal returns. Two types of benchmarks have been used, S&P Europe 350 as well as an industry-specific version of that index. Literature review: Theories used in this study are based partially on previous research on the private equity industry as well as general IPO-theory, such as long-term underperformance and the “hot issue” anomaly.

  • Measuring the Efficiency Levels of Companies Operating in the European Postal Sector: a Nonparametric Approach
    Measuring the efficiency levels of companies operating in the European postal sector: a nonparametric approach 4 February 2020 Name: Robin Kamphorst Registration number: 960903419060 Supervisor: dr. ir. Frederic Ang Chair group: Business Economics (BEC) Study program: Master Management, Economics and Consumer Studies (MME) Course code: BEC-80436 Preface This thesis was written in the second year of the Master Management, Economics and Consumer Studies at Wageningen University, The Netherlands. The research was done under supervision of dr. ir. Frederic Ang, who is part of the Business Economics Group (BEC). This process started in September 2019 and finished in February 2020. The aim of this thesis was to analyze the efficiency levels of companies operating in the European postal sector, to indicate where improvements could be made. A comparison between the efficiency levels of private- and state-owned companies was of particular interest. The data was also plotted against time to investigate trends in the development of the efficiency levels. I would like to thank Frederic Ang for his supervision, as I appreciate the valuable input I got from our meetings. I would also like to thank my peers for their support during this process.

  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

  • Interconnection
    Interconnection 101 As cloud usage takes off, data production grows exponentially, content pushes closer to the edge, and end users demand data and applications at all hours from all locations, the ability to connect with a wide variety of players becomes ever more important. This report introduces interconnection, its key players and busi- ness models, and trends that could affect interconnection going forward. KEY FINDINGS Network-dense, interconnection-oriented facilities are not easy to replicate and are typically able to charge higher prices for colocation, as well as charging for cross-connects and, in some cases, access to public Internet exchange platforms and cloud platforms. Competition is increasing, however, and competitors are starting the long process of creating network-dense sites. At the same time, these sites are valuable and are being acquired, so the sector is consolidating. Having facili- ties in multiple markets does seem to provide some competitive advantage, particularly if the facilities are similar in look and feel and customers can monitor them all from a single portal and have them on the same contract. Mobility, the Internet of Things, services such as SaaS and IaaS (cloud), and content delivery all depend on net- work performance. In many cases, a key way to improve network performance is to push content, processing and peering closer to the edge of the Internet. This is likely to drive demand for facilities in smaller markets that offer interconnection options. We also see these trends continuing to drive demand for interconnection facilities in the larger markets as well. © 2015 451 RESEARCH, LLC AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES.
