The one area that we feel is certain to gain momentum and have a huge impact on how the mobile industry develops in 2014 is the number of brands that we will see moving from the sidelines and fully into the game. The impact of this will be seen both in the gains in mobile spend as brands move away from the 1% average that we’ve been seeing and start moving towards 10-15% mobile spend with increased ROIs as a result. We will also start to see how mobile is driving both innovation in marketing and transformation of business. As always, the MMA will be providing support and guidance for the entire industry, shining a light on inspiration, capability development, measurement and advocacy allowing all constituents to continue building their businesses, with mobile at its core. We look forward to supporting you and the industry. I wish you much success in 2014.

But not all contenders excel strates. We’ve analyzed the show’s impact on the 10 (ToyGaroo, not listed, got $200,000 and then went companies that got the biggest investments from the bankrupt), because some get big investments before Sharks as of March 30.

  • Entrepreneurial Investing Decisions and First Impression*
    Swimming with the Sharks: Entrepreneurial Investing Decisions and First Impression* Xing Huang Washington University in St. Louis Zoran Ivković Michigan State University John (Xuefeng) Jiang Michigan State University Isabel Yanyan Wang Michigan State University Abstract We examine the relation between entrepreneurial investing decisions and first impression regarding entrepreneurs’ characteristics, as featured in the TV show “Shark Tank.” We ask respondents through Amazon Mechanical Turk to rate still photographs of entrepreneur contestants along six dimensions and summarize these dimensions through their two principal components: competence/confidence and appearance/likability. We find that the likelihood of receiving a shark’s offer is associated positively with both components. However, conditional on getting an offer from a shark investor, the component capturing competence/confidence remains positively associated with the sharks’ offered cash and valuation, while the component capturing appearance/likability is negatively associated. * Acknowledgments: Special thanks to the participants of the 2016 Women Assistant Professors of Finance Conference at NYU Stern, participants of the brownbag presentation at the department of finance at Michigan State University, and participants of the 2017 annual meeting of the American Accounting Association. Contact: Xing Huang, Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis. Email: [email protected]. This study investigates the relation between entrepreneurial investors’ decision-making patterns and entrepreneurs’ individual characteristics in a face-to-face setting. Entrepreneurial startups are increasingly viewed as the engine of employment and the economy. Young companies have created an average of 1.5 million jobs per year over the past three decades. They also drive the dynamics of the economy by increasing competition and spurring innovation (Wiens and Jackson (2014)).

Case Shark Tank, kausi 3 Työn ohjaaja Sivumäärä Janne Peltoniemi 46 + 7 Työelämäohjaaja Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli käsitellä yrityksen arvonmääritystä. Yrityksen arvon määrittä- mistä käytetään yrityskaupan, osakeannin tai vähemmistöosuuden lunastamisen yhteydessä. Luotettava arvonmääritys on perusta useille erilaisille päätöksille, joita yritys ja sen sidosryhmät tekevät. Ostajan näkökulmasta luotettava arvonmäärittäminen on tärkeää siksi, että ostetun yrityksen tuotoilla tulisi saada katettua ostetun yrityksen kauppahinta. Yrityksen omistajalle arvonmääritys kertoo, sijoitettu pääoma on kasvanut. Opinnäytetyö koostuu teoria- ja tutkimusosuudesta. Teoriaosuudessa tarkisteltiin, mitkä tekijät tulee huomioida yrityksen arvoa määriteltäessä. Lisäksi pohdittiin, mitkä ovat keskeisemmät arvonmääritys- mallit ja miten aineeton pääoma vaikuttaa yrityksen arvoon. Opinnäytetyön tutkimusosuudessa tarkastellaan, miten Yhdysvaltalainen realityohjelman Shark Tankin (Leijonan luola) yrittäjien ja sijoittajien näkemykset yrityksen arvosta eroavat sekä mitkä asiat vaikut- tavat eniten sijoittajien päätöksiin.
