  • How Financial Technologies Are Revolutionizing the Financial Industry
    HOW FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES ARE REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY Lucie Duval Dissertation submitted as partial requirement for the conferral of Master in Finance Supervisor: António Freitas Miguel, Assistant Professor of Finance, Department of Finance, ISCTE Business School September 2016 NIZING THE THE FINANCIAL NIZING INDUSTRY Lucie Duval LOGIES ARE LOGIESREVOLUTIO ARE HOW FINANCIALTECHNO Abstract Financial technologies (fintech) have known an incredible exposure over the last years, attracting investments of large billions of dollars. Fintech can be seen as the match between finance and technology and they are imposing a way of thinking in all the branches of the financial industry. The main aim of this dissertation is to study how the financial technologies are revolutionizing the financial industry. After the financial crisis of 2008, customers have changed their ways of seeing “Finance” and, more particularly, “Banks”, looking for products and services responding to their needs. Moreover, the financial crisis has highlighted a relevant number of dysfunctions of the banking sector and on the financial regulation. Regulators have strengthened their requirements for banks, particularly in their relations with clients. These have opened a breach for Fintech companies and they are using it. Fintech companies rely on a different value proposition to clients that is based on a timesaving, fast and clear experience. Indeed they are proposing majors innovation in products and also in the processes. Fintech companies have put the customer back at the center of all their attention; customer becomes again the top priority. Financial technologies have already revolutionized the finance industry even if their impact on the market, for the moment may still be seen as trivial.

  • Don't Believe the Hype! De-Mystifying Digital Marketing
    starting made simple Don’t Believe the Hype! De-Mystifying Digital Marketing A Primer on What to Know & Where to Start Mainstream media gives you the impression that we’ve entered this miraculous age in marketing; that your world will go instantly “viral;” that business outcomes will come more quickly, efficiently, and easily; that the adoption of new digital marketing practices will automatically lead to a larger bottom-line, with less effort, and less human interaction. In simple truth, most of these statements are based in fallacy. Beyond the pioneering adopters who “got in early,” thereby leveraging a brief window of novel innovation, the vast majority of businesses will find that efforts to establish a unique voice, intercept potential buyers, generate qualified leads, acquire customers, and service clients will be just as costly and complex as before this age of digital marketing - even more so. As more brands flock to better digital practices, industry competition will dilute outcomes while increasing or shifting marketing spend. Don’t Believe the Hype! - Know Thyself. Know Thy Customer. Choose Accordingly. What’s most important is to understand that there is a wealth of new digital and mobile marketing channels that allows for a natural evolution in the way you can engage your audience. So set aside all the hype. Do a bit of homework. Learn about some of the vehicles, technologies and data-metric tools that really could enhance your marketing insights. Verify where your audience now resides. Recognize where you may need to refocus your branding efforts. Then start to experiment in a gradual, measured fashion.

  • Essays on Technology-Driven Marketing
    ESSAYS ON TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN MARKETING Zijun (June) Shi Submitted to the Tepper School of Business in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dissertation Committee Kannan Srinivasan (Chair) Hui Li Xiao Liu Alan Montgomery Kaifu Zhang April, 2019 I © Coypyright by Zijun (June) Shi, 2019 All rights reserved. II Abstract: With the development of technology in business applications, new marketing problems emerge, creating challenges for both practitioners and researchers. In this dissertation, I investigate marketing issues that involve new technology or require research methodologies enabled by new technology. I take an interdisciplinary approach, combining structural modeling, analytical modeling, machine learning, and causal inference, to study problems on pricing, media hype, and branding in three essays. In the first essay, we examine the optimality of the freemium pricing strategy. Despite its immense popularity, the freemium business model remains a complex strategy to master and often a topic of heated debate. Adopting a generalized version of the screening framework à la Mussa and Rosen (1978), we ask when and why a firm should endogenously offer a zero price on its low-end product when users' product usages generate network externalities on each other. Our analysis indicates freemium can only emerge if the high- and low-end products provide asymmetric marginal network effects. In other words, the firm would set a zero price for its low- end product only if the high-end product provided larger utility gain from an expansion of the firm's user base. In contrast to conventional beliefs, a firm pursuing the freemium strategy might increase the baseline quality on its low-end product above the “efficient” level, which seemingly reduces differentiation.

  • January 2016 Innovation Grows Where Mpos Goes
    JANUARY 2016 INNOVATION GROWS WHERE MPOS GOES The mPOS market in America alone is expected to grow at a CAGR of 51% during the forecast period 2016-2020. That’s largely contingent on prolific growth in the number of mobile phones and the payment methods it enables. However, the length and breadth of mPOS’ potential can be reached only if hardware innovation keeps up with software applications. Mobile point of sale is essential for growing micro- merchants, but the technology isn’t always accessible to them. Verifone’s latest platform could be a case in point to take innovation further and make it accessible where it matters. Erik Vlugt, VP of Global Products at Verifone, recently discussed with MPD CEO Karen Webster how Verifone plans to change the space with the recent release of its new e265 mPOS platform. e265 marks “a continued investment on Verifone’s part in mobile POS in general,” Vlugt said, calling it “one more product in our digital line.” “We are committed to the wonderful world of mPOS -- and that’s not going to change; we see huge growth there globally,” Vlugt added. In this particular case, as Vlugt explained, the e265 is based on a proven platform called the e355, which has been very successful with larger retailers in the market, especially in the integrated space. “We are now taking a lot of those same benefits and features to smaller segments as well,” said Vlugt. “The smaller segments typically have a Verifone payment terminal, which has served them well over time, but in some cases these merchants want to add more functionality to overall customer engagement including things they’re doing on tablets and handheld devices.” These sorts of engagement activities may include loyalty, other commerce applications, things with price checking and so on.
