Dow Jones Partners with Sunpower to Build 4.1-Megawatt Solar Power System Dow Jones Partners with SunPower to Build 4.1-Megawatt Solar Power System One of the nation's largest corporate solar power systems SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. and SAN JOSE, Calif., June 21, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Dow Jones & Company and SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) today announced that SunPower has been selected to install a high-efficiency solar power system totaling 4.1 megawatts at Dow Jones' corporate offices in central New Jersey. The system will include 3.6 megawatts of elevated solar panels above parking areas and a 522-kilowatt rooftop installation. When completed early next year, the system will be one of the nation's largest solar power installations operating at a corporate site, and is expected to generate the equivalent of 15 percent of current electricity needs for Dow Jones' South Brunswick campus. "Renewable energy is part of a sustainable business plan for Dow Jones," said Dean DelVecchio, the company's chief information officer and chief administrative officer. "With solar energy, Dow Jones is helping the environment and its business at the same time." A publisher of news and business information around the globe, Dow Jones maintains a 200-acre campus on U.S. Route 1 in South Brunswick, N.J. Nearly 2,000 people work at the facility, Dow Jones's largest. At the site, SunPower is installing SunPower T5 Solar Roof Tile, the solar industry's first non-penetrating rooftop product that combines a high-efficiency SunPower solar panel, frame and mounting system into a single pre-engineered unit. Tilted at a five-degree angle, the T5 Roof Tile system approximately doubles the energy generated per square meter compared with other systems that are mounted flat onto commercial rooftops. "This solar system is one of many initiatives at Dow Jones intended to reduce waste, protect the environment and trim expenses. We will continue to seek smart solutions for the future of our business," said Andy Schwartzberg, vice president for general administrative services at Dow Jones. The system is being partially financed through PSE&G's Solar Loan Program, through which PSE&G offers loans for solar power. "SunPower offered turnkey design and installation services and high-efficiency solar technology to optimize the power generated by the system and the savings that Dow Jones will achieve on their electricity costs," said Tom Leyden, managing director at SunPower. "We applaud their leadership in taking advantage of PSE&G's Solar Loan Program. Clean, reliable solar power makes good sense today for businesses and our environment."

Borut Marko Lah Ekonomska učinkovitost globalnih medijskih konglomeratov Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2015 Ekonomska učinkovitost globalnih medijskih konglomeratov V zadnjih tridesetih letih so prevzemi in spojitve postali ena najpogostejših strategij podjetij v medijski industriji. Mnogi avtorji takšno združevanje medijskih podjetij povezujejo z maksimiranjem dobička, saj naj bi se na ta način povečala tako tržna moč kot tudi učinkovitost poslovanja podjetij. V diplomskem delu trdim, da koncentrirano medijsko lastništvo ne povečuje ekonomske učinkovitosti kapitala. Sinergije ne prinašajo pričakovanih izjemnih dobičkov. Doseg diplomskega dela ni tako velik, da bi lahko sama izvedla kvantitativno analizo največjih globalnih medijskih konglomeratov, zato sem ga napisala pretežno teoretično, ob tem pa sem se naslonila na nekaj mednarodno objavljenih študij. Rezultati delno podpirajo mojo prvotno hipotezo, saj so pokazali, da nekateri ekonomski kazalniki ne kažejo boljših rezultatov v tistih medijskih podjetjih, v katerih se je kapital v veliki meri združeval in koncentriral. Zdi se, da so megamedijske združitve za marsikoga razočaranje. Ključne besede: medijska industrija, prevzemi in spojitve, medijski konglomerati, koncentracija lastništva, sinergije. Economic efficiency of global media conglomerates In the past thirty years, acquisitions and mergers have become one of the most common strategies of companies in the media industry. Many authors associate such integration of media companies with profit maximization, since it should increase market power and efficiency of business operations. In the thesis I argue that concentrated media ownership does not increase the economic efficiency of capital.

  • Marketwatch Virtual Stock Exchange
    Analysis: MarketWatch Virtual Stock Exchange 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key takeaways: ● VSE has been around longer than most competitors ● Heavily supported by MarketWatch and Dow Jones network ○ Dow Jones (especially WSJ) has excellent advertising capabilities ○ MarketWatch provides high-quality news feed content ○ MarketWatch VSE game is “lumped into” MarketWatch generally for advertising purposes ■ VSE probably receives very little standalone attention from corporate owners (or even advertisers, who are only choosing MarketWatch “generally” for advertising purposes) ○ Dow Jones Media Group was formed in 2016 to focus more/better on digital advertising and millennial demographic ● VSE banner advertising brings in revenue, but game does not ○ Opportunity to position as “loss leader”? ● Website traffic ○ Mostly US (not surprising since game trades only US stocks) ○ Page and domain referrals largely come from within Dow Jones network ■ VSE experienced a big jump in referring domains and pages in 2016, which is the same year that Dow Jones Media Group was formed ○ Some game pages get (or got, while they were still active) far more traffic than the main VSE page ○ Note: I’m not a website traffic expert, so perhaps your programmers will infer other takeaways from the website traffic data that I missed ● General user sentiment seems to be that VSE is best for learning or academic settings, but not super fun as a “game” ○ More engaging in group settings (for bragging rights) but not very engaging to use as a single individual ● Recurring user complaint

  • Venture Capitalists, Ceos Predict Industry & Economic Improvement
    Contact: Emily Mendell, NVCA, [email protected] , 610-565-3904 Tiffany Richardson, Dow Jones, [email protected] , 609-627-2101 Confidence Grows in Start-Up Economy as Venture Capitalists and CEOs Predict Industry & Economic Improvement in 2011 NVCA and Dow Jones Venture View Survey Shows Renewed Optimism in U.S. Investments and IT, Uncertainty Around Fund Raising WASHINGTON D.C. (Dec. 21, 2010 ) – Venture capitalists predict venture firms will invest more and chief executive officers of venture-backed companies expect to hire more, sell more and get paid more in 2011, according to results of the 2011 Venture View predictions survey, conducted by the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and Dow Jones VentureSource. While optimism about the venture industry and the national economy prevailed, VCs were divided on how fundraising will trend in the forthcoming year. The annual Venture View survey reflects responses from more than 330 venture capitalists in the U.S. and 180 CEOs of U.S.-based venture-backed companies collected between Nov. 29 and Dec. 10, 2010. ”At this time last year, the venture capital industry was optimistic, but cautiously so,” said Mark Heesen, president of the NVCA. “The market was so troubled in 2009, the sentiment was that things had to get better in 2010. It turns out our predictions were correct and in the past year we have moved beyond the financial crisis and returned to doing what we do best – building great companies. The improving exit market and a renewed excitement in the IT sector have engendered a confidence among VCs and the CEOs of the companies in which we invest that promises to propel the start-up community forward in 2011.
