  • Ubisoft Reports Full-Year 2007-08 Sales
    Ubisoft reports full-year 2007-08 sales Full-year sales up 36% to €928 million. Target for 2008-09 current operating income 1 revised upwards. Paris, April 24, 2008 – Today, Ubisoft reported its sales for the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008. Sales Sales for the fourth quarter of 2007-08 came to €217 million, up 10.0%, or 20.3% at constant exchange rates, compared with the €197 million recorded for the same period of 2006-07. Full-year sales for fiscal 2007-08 totaled €928 million, versus €680 million for fiscal 2006-07, representing an increase of 36.4%, or 42.9% at constant exchange rates. Fourth-quarter sales outstripped the initial guidance of approximately €165 million issued on January 23, 2008. This strong showing was driven by better-than-expected performances from the following games: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Vegas 2, which reached almost 2 million sell-in units and ranked second in all-format sales for March in the United States and United Kingdom according to NPD and Chart-Track. The Games For Everyone (G4E) brands, which topped €230 million in sales for the year. Assassin's Creed ™, which continued its robust performance, achieving over 6 million sell-in units since its launch. During the first three months of the 2008 calendar year, Ubisoft continued to grow faster than the market 2 based on sell-through data: In the United States, Ubisoft posted growth of 38% (compared with 28% for the US market as a whole), with market share of 7.2% versus 6.7% in the first quarter of 2007.

  • Vertical Integration, Exclusivity and Game Sales Performance in the U.S
    Vertical Integration, Exclusivity and Game Sales Performance in the U.S. Video Game Industry Ricard Gil and Frederic Warzynski∗† October 2013 Abstract This paper empirically investigates the relation between vertical integration and video game per- formance in the US video game industry. For this purpose, we use a widely used data set on video game monthly sales from October 2000 to October 2007. We complement these data with information on video game developers and the timing of all mergers and acquisitions during that period allowing us to separate vertically integrated games from those independent games exclusive to a platform. First, we show that vertically integrated games are associated with higher sales and higher prices than in- dependent games. Second, we explore whether the link between vertical integration and performance in this industry is due to selection or value added. Our results suggest that most of the difference in performance is due to value added from better release strategies and selection from ex-ante differ- ences in video game quality. In our sample of games, post-release marketing strategies do not seem to add value to vertically integrated games. We also find that platform-exclusive independent games are associated with lower demand and higher prices. ∗Ricard Gil is an Assistant Professor at The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Frederic Warzynski is a Professor at Aarhus University.

  • Can Foresight Processes Operationalize the Notion of Sustainability?
    Can Foresight Processes Operationalize the Notion of Sustainability? By Leah A. Soroka A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rural Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Leah A. Soroka, May 2016 Abstract CAN FORESIGHT PROCESSES OPERATIONALIZE THE NOTION OF SUSTAINABILITY? Leah A. Soroka Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Professors Allan Lauzon and John FitzGibbon Arden Brummell In an increasingly complex world, many business leaders, politicians, citizens, and NGOs desire sustainability, but the academic literature is insufficient with insights on how to operationalize sustainability. The commonly mentioned Brundtland definition of sustainability refers to making decisions that benefit today but are also beneficial to future generations. Implicit in the definition of sustainability is consideration of the future. Given this temporal dimension inherent in the definition of sustainability, the research question is: how does thinking about the future impact decision making and enhance sustainability? Linking the future to the definition of sustainability, foresight or future studies may be essential to operationalize sustainability. After a review of the literature on sustainability, the researcher proposes a theoretical construct known as the Sustainability Heuristic Model where thinking about the future fosters social learning, adaptability and sustainability. In this model, foresight methodologies promote the development of adaptive capacity through the development of options, technologies, and solutions that support sustainability. The consideration and practice of these options opens thinking, consciousness of changes, and the generation of ideas and options for action. The combination of these factors increase the likelihood that decisions move the achievements toward sustainability.
