Performance of the core operations was solid and the development of several business opportunities progressed. OVERVIEW Chairman: Ton Vosloo A number of new investments such as Tradus and Gadu-Gadu are included in our fi nancial results for the fi rst time. We also disposed of some operations. The private education business, Educor, was sold as a going concern. Conditional sale agreements were also concluded for the disposal of the Greek and Cypriot pay-television business (NetMed) to ForthNet SA, a leading Greek telecommunications company. Offers of purchase have been requested for the connectivity business, MWEB, and are currently being evaluated. Financial performance over the past year is analysed in the fi nancial review on page 18 of this annual report. In summary, revenues grew by 19% to R20,5 billion, largely driven by the pay-television and internet businesses. Operating profi t before amortisation and other gains/losses expanded by 15%, despite increased development costs. Core headline earnings grew by 38% and core headline earnings per N ordinary share increased by 16% to R11,16 during the year. INTERNET The internet segment grew revenues by 42% to R1,6 billion. This expansion came from a solid performance by established operations and the inclusion of the new investments in the current year. 8 I NASPERS LIMITED I ANNUAL REPORT I 2008 CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW The acquisition of 100% of Tradus was In China Tencent strengthened its concluded in March 2008.

    Centrality in dynamic competition networks Anthony Bonato1, Nicole Eikmeier2, David F. Gleich3, and Rehan Malik1 1 Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 2 Grinnell College, Grinnell, IA, USA 3 Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA Abstract. Competition networks are formed via adversarial interactions between actors. The Dynamic Competition Hypothesis predicts that influential actors in competition networks should have a large number of common out-neighbors with many other nodes. We empirically study this idea as a centrality score and find the measure predictive of importance in several real-world networks including food webs, conflict networks, and voting data from Survivor. 1 Introduction While social networks are often studied from the perspective of positive interactions such as friend- ship or followers, the impact of negative social interaction on their structure and evolution cannot be ignored. Structural balance theory posits positive and negative ties between actors in social networks, and assumes such signed networks will stabilize so that triples of actors are either all mutually friends or possess common adversaries; see [12], and [9] for a modern treatment. The pre- diction of the signs of edges in a social network was previously studied [15,18,21]. Further, negative interactions as a model for edges was studied in the context of negatively correlated stocks in mar- ket graphs [4], and in the spatial location of cities as a model to predict the rise of conflicts and violence [11]. Even in the highly cited Zachary Karate club network [22], the negative interaction between the administrator and instructor was the impetus for the split of the club participants into two communities.
