  • M&A @ Facebook: Strategy, Themes and Drivers
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Finance from NOVA – School of Business and Economics M&A @ FACEBOOK: STRATEGY, THEMES AND DRIVERS TOMÁS BRANCO GONÇALVES STUDENT NUMBER 3200 A Project carried out on the Masters in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Professor Pedro Carvalho January 2018 Abstract Most deals are motivated by the recognition of a strategic threat or opportunity in the firm’s competitive arena. These deals seek to improve the firm’s competitive position or even obtain resources and new capabilities that are vital to future prosperity, and improve the firm’s agility. The purpose of this work project is to make an analysis on Facebook’s acquisitions’ strategy going through the key acquisitions in the company’s history. More than understanding the economics of its most relevant acquisitions, the main research is aimed at understanding the strategic view and key drivers behind them, and trying to set a pattern through hypotheses testing, always bearing in mind the following question: Why does Facebook acquire emerging companies instead of replicating their key success factors? Keywords Facebook; Acquisitions; Strategy; M&A Drivers “The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook 2 Literature Review M&A activity has had peaks throughout the course of history and different key industry-related drivers triggered that same activity (Sudarsanam, 2003). Historically, the appearance of the first mergers and acquisitions coincides with the existence of the first companies and, since then, in the US market, there have been five major waves of M&A activity (as summarized by T.J.A.

  • Head Tracking for the Oculus Rift
    Head Tracking for the Oculus Rift Steven M. LaValle1 Anna Yershova1 Max Katsev1 Michael Antonov Oculus VR, Inc. 19800 MacArthur Blvd Irvine, CA 92612 USA Abstract— We present methods for efficiently maintaining human head orientation using low-cost MEMS sensors. We particularly address gyroscope integration and compensa- tion of dead reckoning errors using gravity and magnetic fields. Although these problems have been well-studied, our performance criteria are particularly tuned to optimize user experience while tracking head movement in the Oculus Rift Development Kit, which is the most widely used virtual reality headset to date. We also present novel predictive tracking methods that dramatically reduce effective latency (time lag), which further improves the user experience. Experimental results are shown, along with ongoing research on positional tracking. I. INTRODUCTION In June 2012, Palmer Luckey’s prototype headset generated widespread enthusiasm and hopes for trans- formative virtual reality (VR) as John Carmack used it to develop and show a compelling Doom demo at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). This convinced in- dustry leaders that a low-cost, high-fidelity VR experience could be achieved by leveraging MEMS sensing and video display technology from the smart phone industry. One important aspect of the design is a wide viewing angle, which greatly increases the sense of immersion over most prior headsets. Momentum has continued to build since that time, with broad media coverage progress on the potential for consumer VR, the dispersal of 50,000 Oculus Rift Development Kits, and the active cooperation of developers and researchers around the world. Although Fig. 1. The Oculus Rift Development Kit tracks head movement to originally targeted at the game industry, it has been finding present the correct virtual-world image to the eyes.
