Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

Q3 2018 Earnings Prepared Remarks
NEXON Co., Ltd. Q3 2018 Earnings Conference Call Prepared Remarks Nov 8, 2018 Owen Mahoney, Representative Director, President and Chief Executive Officer, NEXON Co., Ltd. Thank you all very much for joining us today. I’m pleased to report that we had another great quarter, with our business delivering solid results around the world. The results represent record Q3 revenues, operating income, and net income, and we also delivered the highest quarterly mobile revenues in our history. These excellent results were primarily driven by the continued strength of our biggest franchises across the regions. The credit for the sustained growth in these franchises goes to the outstanding work by our live operations and live development teams around the world. The work by these incredibly talented people is the key to building a sustainably growing, SaaS-like business. We believe Nexon has the best live teams in the world. Our world-class live teams are one way Nexon is different from the traditional games industry model. The games industry has recently been re-tooling to digital online and recurring revenue models. That’s been Nexon’s approach since day 1. Another difference is how we build for the future. In the traditional games approach, most of your revenues comes from games that were recently launched, in the last 1-2 quarters. In an online approach, most of your revenues comes from games you launched well over a year ago. That difference means in the traditional approach, the key point of analysis was to look for catalysts, which means evaluating the pipeline of new product launches.

Q2 2021 Earnings Prepared Remarks
NEXON Co., Ltd. Q2 2021 Earnings Prepared Remarks August 11, 2021 Owen Mahoney, Representative Director, President and Chief Executive Officer, NEXON Co., Ltd. Thank you, Ara-san, and welcome everyone to Nexon’s Second Quarter 2021 Conference Call. Today I will provide a brief update on our second quarter performance and devote the rest of my time to detailing the strategies that position Nexon for significant growth in the coming quarters and years. Following that I will turn the call over to our CFO, Uemura-san, for a detailed financial review of our quarter and the guidance for Q3. In the second quarter, Nexon delivered revenue that was within our outlook at 56.0Bn yen -- down 13% on an as-reported basis and down 21% on a constant currency basis. The Kingdom of the Winds: Yeon, Mabinogi, and Sudden Attack exceeded our expectations while MapleStory in Korea came in lower-than-expected. On a platform basis, both PC and mobile revenues were in the range of our outlook. In short, some things went better than expected; others not as well; with the net result putting us within our expected range. On today’s call, I will provide context on how the management team has been investing our time in 2021. We see 2021 as an operational inflection point for improving our live games and polishing multiple new projects - each with the potential for enormous returns. Executing on any...one of these initiatives could dramatically change Nexon’s trajectory and bring step- function improvements to our revenue and profitability. I will start with the actions we’ve taken to improve the performance of MapleStory in Korea, which is facing tough comparisons following the last two years of significant growth, including a 98% jump in year-over-year revenue in 2020.

Business of Video Games
Business of Video Games Fall Semester, September 6 to December 16, 2016 Course number: MKTG-UB.58.001 Location: T-UC25 Instructor: Joost van Dreunen, [email protected] Class meets on Thursdays, from 4:55 pm to 6:10 pm. COURSE DESCRIPTION Abstract This class discusses the interactive entertainment industry, and looks at how business strategies inform aesthetic practices in the development, distribution, and marketing of video games. Course Summary Video games are now a mainstream form of entertainment. In economic terms, this industry has experienced tremendous growth, despite a grueling recession, growing to an estimated $110 billion worldwide. A key development that has changed the playing ﬁeld for both the producers and consumers of interactive entertainment is a shift away from physical retail to digital and online game distribution. The audience for games has also shifted—no longer the exclusive practice of hardcore gamers, video games have gained mass appeal in the form of social and casual gaming, on the internet, on consoles, and smartphones. At the same time, the development and publishing of games has become far more accessible. The game behind the game, in a manner of speaking, has changed. In this class, we explore the basic components of the current video game industry. Every week, we review major current events, will hear from people currently working in the industry, examine case studies, and discuss the overall business landscape. Central to each class is the notion that practical business considerations and the design-driven creative process do not have to be in opposition. COURSE OBJECTIVE This course aims to provide students with: ★ An understanding of games industry characteristics, its drivers and major players; ★ An overview of historical and current strategy questions confronted by game companies; ★ A rudimentary set of games business-related solutions applicable toward the developed, publishing, and distribution of interactive entertainment; ★ Enough information about the video games industry to formulate a credible business plan.
