INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS PLATFORM BUSINESS MODELS Cloud-based technology platforms are key A platform business model brings together enablers for platform businesses. In fact, many consumers and producers and allows them to companies are accelerating their adoption of 3 ITERA ANNUAL REPORT 2018 STORIES CEO COMMENT HIGHLIGHTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In addition, the processing power inside IoT devices is accelerating as a result of recent innovations in edge computing. Rather than data having to go to the cloud to be processed and then sent back out to a device, data can also be collected and analysed on and between devices. For instance, an autonomous car and a set of traffic lights can communicate with each other directly, rather than via the cloud. Technology platforms comply with every international security standard and are enabling edge computing and the massive growth of IoT devices and sensors. To become a digital business, new technology platforms are the only option as no traditional data centres are designed for this new digital world. DIGITAL MODELS OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD: ONLY THE BEGINNING The IoT is transforming one industry after another, driving massive growth in the adoption of connected and intelligent devices as a strong foundation for new use cases.

Using AI, experts are training algorithms to analyse large quantities of data and to extract insights to improve predic- tive capabilities, to enable greater personali- zation and to democratize access to enhanced care. A HUGE OPPORTUNITY Platforms are no longer just being used by tech and born-digital organizations. Companies across all industries are recognizing the oppor- tunities in terms of the new kinds of growth and rewards they offer. Organizations with adaptability at their core that succeed in making strategic use of digital technologies to build suc- cessful platform business models will become winners.

But while consumers can select from an ever-growing Cvariety of legal services, illegal streaming services have emerged in their shadow, leveraging stolen content and off-the-shelf streaming technologies to deliver entertainment at a fraction of the cost of legitimate content providers. The most virulent and fast-growing illegal streaming enterprise is the pirate subscription Internet Protocol Television (PS IPTV) Service. This type of service mimics the practices of legitimate streaming services. It charges by the month or by the year – typically, about $10 - $15 per month. And for that low price, it provides the customer with thousands of channels of linear television from around the world, and often with tens of thousands of titles for video on demand, including movies still showing in theaters and every episode of entire TV series.

  • Private Equity Involvement in Nordic Ipos
    Department of Business Administration FEKH89 Bachelor Degree Project in Financial Management Undergraduate Level Autumn 2016 Private Equity Involvement in Nordic IPOs An empirical study on first-day returns and long-term performance of IPOs on the Nordic market Authors: Leo Dajakaj Tim Jacobsson Julia Wilsby Supervisor: Susanne Arvidsson ABSTRACT Title: Private Equity Involvement in Nordic IPOs - An empirical study on first-day returns and long-term performance of IPOs on the Nordic market Seminar date: 2017-01-12 Course: FEKH89, Business Administration: Bachelor Degree Project in Financial Management Undergraduate Level, 15 credits Authors: Leo Dajakaj, Tim Jacobsson, Julia Wilsby Advisor: Susanne Arvidsson Key words: IPO, Ownership Structure, First-day returns, BHAR, Long-run performance Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine whether there are any differences in the first-day returns and the long-run performance between IPOs with different ownership structures. Further, the authors have chosen a number of variables from previous studies in order to examine whether these can explain the long-run performance of IPOs on the Nordic market. Methodology: A quantitative method with a deductive approach was used in the study in order to analyze the collected secondary data. Theoretical perspectives: The previous research that has been used in this study has mainly focused on the first-day returns and long-run performance of IPOs on the US and European markets. Empirical foundation: The research is based on data from companies on Nordic stock exchanges. The data was obtained from Zephyr, Thomson Reuters Datastream, Argentum, annual reports and firm prospectuses. Conclusions: The authors find that the private equity-backed IPOs in the sample perform the best in the long-run and also have the lowest first-day returns in comparison to the venture capital-backed IPOs and the non-sponsored IPOs, however the differences are not significant.
