  • Share Swap Between Telefónica and China Unicom
    La Dirección Estratégica de la Empresa. Teoría y Aplicaciones L.A. Guerras y J.E. Navas Thomson-Civitas, 2007, 4th edition www.guerrasynavas.com SHARE SWAP BETWEEN TELEFÓNICA AND CHINA UNICOM Miriam Delgado Verde Universidad Complutense de Madrid In 2005, Telefónica and China Unicom entered into a strategic alliance with the aim to operate jointly in the telecommunications industry. Initially, it took the form of a minority holding by the Spanish company in its Far Eastern counterpart when Telefónica purchased 5.38% of the Chinese operator’s capital. This initial operation was reinforced in September 2009 with a share swap between both companies, whereby Telefónica’s investment rose to 8.06% of China Unicom’s capital, whereas the latter acquired 0.9% of the Spanish telephone company. Through this new operation, Telefónica acquired a further 694 million shares, up to the aforementioned percentage, whilst China Unicom undertook to acquire 40.7 million shares in the Spanish company, which meant an investment by each party of one billion dollars (around 700 million euros at the prevailing rate of exchange). The partners agreed to keep possession of the shares for at least a year, although the agreement included joint operations over the following three years, unless either one of the parties should discharge the contract with six months’ prior notice. These joint operations included shared procurement, the development of common platforms for mobile phone services and the provision of services to multinational customers. One of the agreement’s clauses laid down a restriction on any investment in the share capital of each other’s rival companies.

  • Mobile Internet Business Models in China: Vertical Hierarchies, Horizontal Conglomerates, Or Business Groups?
    BERKELEY ROUNDTABLE ON THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY BRIE Working Paper 2016-6 MOBILE INTERNET BUSINESS MODELS IN CHINA: VERTICAL HIERARCHIES, HORIZONTAL CONGLOMERATES, OR BUSINESS GROUPS? Kai Jia and Martin Kenney Mobile Internet Platform Business Models in China: Vertical Hierarchies, Horizontal Conglomerates, or Business Groups? July 27, 2016 Kai Jia Ph.D. Student Tsinghua University Beijing, China And Martin Kenney Community and Regional Development University of California, Davis [email protected] Acknowledgments: The authors thank Roger Bohn and John Zysman for helpful comments. The authors remain responsible for all remaining errors. 2 ABSTRACT The current understanding of the dynamics of digital platforms and strategy for their concomitant ecosystems has emerged from an analysis of firms in Western market economies. Our contribution arises from a detailed study of the business strategies of the current leaders in the Chinese mobile internet industry—Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu. We find that they have developed business models significantly different from those of US firms. We argue that these Chinese firms are developing a “platform business group” strategy predicated upon horizontal expansion through organic growth, acquisition, and the purchase of significant equity positions in vertical industries, such as ride sharing, online-to-offline commerce, and travel. As a generalization, their western counterparts were much more oriented toward vertical expansion integrating either upwards or downwards in their respective software stacks. A central component of the business group is an online payment system that operates with its other platforms to cross-feed traffic and use internal cross-platform personal data to customize its offerings to users. We show that the different environmental conditions in China versus Western market economies allow firms there to pursue different business strategies.

  • A Land of Opportunity
    A land of Evaluating the Role of IoT in China’s opportunity Digital Revolution The future is exciting. Ready? The Internet of Things (IoT) is igniting China’s next wave of economic growth and ushering in a new era of international leadership in smart technology. Strong government support for IoT and huge market potential means there is a multitude of investment opportunities for both domestic companies and international organisations. IoT is pervasive in China across a wide range of industrial sectors, including automotive, manufacturing, energy, retail and healthcare. As a result, a growing number of enterprises are setting up innovation centres in China to develop new IoT products. At the same time, global OEMs are keen to move into China, expanding their global footprint and using connected technologies to improve production efficiencies within new plants. But the formation of IoT strategy in China requires a strong understanding of existing IT infrastructures, and a detailed knowledge of associated factors such as government regulation. Furthermore, IoT implementation requires access to reliable connectivity, and the ability to employ end-to-end solutions at scale. Thus, the decision around choosing the right IoT partner remains a critical one. Total spending on endpoints and services reached almost US $2 trillion in 2017. The economic environment in China is changing rapidly. China, North America and Western Europe are driving the use of President Xi Jinping, during the recent 19th National Congress connected things and the three regions together represented of the Chinese Communist Party, outlined his country’s priority 67 percent of the overall IoT installed base in 2017.

  • India and China
    India and China: A Comparative Analysis of Mobile Phones in Agriculture By C2014 Prashanthi Bonthu Submitted to the graduate degree program in Global and International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Professor Eric Hanley ________________________________ Committee Member Professor Darlene Budd ________________________________ Committee Member Professor John James Kennedy Date Defended: Feb 3rd , 2014 The Thesis Committee for Prashanthi Bonthu certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: India and China: A Comparative Analysis of Mobile Phones in Agriculture ________________________________ Chairperson Professor Eric Hanley Date approved: Feb 3, 2014 ii Abstract In 2010, China and India were named the first and second largest mobile phone markets in the world based on their number of subscribers. India and China have focused on extending their telecommunication services into rural areas for socio-economic benefits. Both countries liberalized and privatized the industry under different political regimes utilizing different strategies. The aim of this thesis is to examine the collaborative efforts of public and private agencies in India and the role they do in disseminating information to farmers through mobile phones when compared to the government agencies in China that have been created to share that information in order to determine which program is more effective. To answer this question, the thesis compares Indian and Chinese policies and programs enacted to encourage sales and use of mobile phones in the agricultural sector to increase efficiency and encourage growth. As free market principles and private for-profit corporations are generally more efficient than government agencies, this thesis hypothesizes that the policies and development initiatives taken by the Indian government are more successful in disseminating information than the government agency approach followed by China.
