Crowdfunding in Asia
Crowdfunding in Asia May 2018 Introducing the first free directory of crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The data is based on the AlliedCrowds Capital Finder, a database of over 7,000 alternative finance capital providers across emerging markets. Our data has been used by organizations like FSD Asia, UNDP, World Green Economy Organization, GIZ, World Bank, and others in order to provide unique, actionable insights into the world of emerging market alternative finance. This is the latest of our regular reports on alternative finance in emerging markets; you can find all previous reports here. Crowdfunding rose in prominence in the post-financial crisis years (starting in 2012), and for good reason: a global credit crunch limited the amount of funding available to entrepreneurs and small businesses. Since then, crowdfunding has grown rapidly around the world. Crowdfunding is especially consequential in countries where SMEs find it difficult to raise capital to start or grow their businesses. This is the case in many Asian countries; according to the SME Finance Forum, there is a $2.3 trillion MSME credit gap in East Asia and the Pacific. Crowdfunding can help to fill this gap by offering individuals and small businesses an alternative source of capital. This can come in the form of donation-based as well as lending-based (peer-to-peer or peer-to-business) crowdfunding. In order to help entrepreneurs and small business owners to find the crowdfunding platform that’s right for them, we are releasing the first publicly available list of all crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The report is split into two key sections: the first one is an overview of crowdfunding platforms, and how active they are across the largest markets on the continent. -

© 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Crowdfunding online portal - its insights and implication on funding success Lavanya R.N. Assistant professor, T.John Insitute of Management and Science. In the present scenerio, crowdfunding individuals collectively contributing money to back different goals and projects through the internet has proven to be a viable alternative for raising funds. Businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals are using this alternative fundraising mechanism to raise finances to support their businesses, creative projects, or personal goals. Evidence of very successful fundraising campaigns (e.g. Pebble smart watches on Kickstarter.com) and unsuccessful fundraising campaigns exist. Different factors have been attributed to driving fundraising campaign outcomes - goal size, fundraising duration, creator’s network size, and signals of quality. Despite the growing importance and popularity of the crowdfunding mechanism,. Keywords Crowdfunding, Debt-based ,Funding ,Financing, Reward based. Crowd funding is a funding technique that encompasses financing a project with relatively modest contributions from a huge group of persons, rather than looking for considerable sums from a small number of investors. The funding campaign and transactions are typically conducted online through dedicated crowd funding sites, often in conjunction with social networking sites. Depending on the project, campaign contributors may be essentially making contributions, capitalizing for a potential future return -

Effects of Micro Transactions on Video Games Industry
Nenad Tomić*1 UDC 004.42:794]:004.738.5:339 Pregledni naučni članak Primljen 08.03.2017. Odobren 19.04.2017. EFFECTS OF MICRO TRANSACTIONS ON VIDEO GAMES INDUSTRY During the twentieth century, the entertainment industry recorded a steady revenue growth. The progress of information and communication technology (ICT) influenced the creation of a new segment in the industry at the beginning of the 80s, known as the video game industry. During the first two decades, the dominant model of earning for video games publishers was sale of a full game, which means that users were obliged to pay in order to play the game (pay-to-play concept). In the past ten years, publishers have developed a new approach, which instead of selling entire game content at once tends to decompose the sale into several smaller transactions. The prices of these supplements are often calculated in the virtual currency that is considered to be the currency of video game, and not in one of convertible currencies, which creates additional confusion. The subject of the paper is to explain the essence of microtransactions as type of electronic payments created in the video games industry and to observe their role in the process of industry transformation. Keywords: microtransactions, freemium, mobile games, pay-to-win, virtual money * Teaching Assistant, University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Economics, [email protected] Vol. 14, № 3, 2017: 239-258 240 Nenad Tomić 1. Introduction The video game industry flourished in the ’80s of XX century, under the influence of the great innovations in iCt. with the change of the computer architecture an increase of processing power was achieved, while the size and price of the computers was reduced.
