Creare valore disgregando
settori consolidati: il caso WhatsApp

Il caso WhatsApp (1/4)
“WhatsApp è riuscita a distruggere il
mercato degli SMS in soli 4 anni:
un’operazione che avrebbe
richiesto in altri tempi tra i 20 e i 30 anni”,
ha sostenuto uno dei principali operatori mondiali di venture capital, in
occasione della recente acquisizione di WhatsApp da parte di Facebook per
19 miliardi di dollari.
Diciannove miliardi per una start-up nata nel 2009, che è riuscita in 4 anni
- investendo pochi soldi (60 milioni di dollari) e con pochissime persone (55
in tutto), ma rinunciando quasi integralmente (dato il suo business model) ai
ricavi - a superare la soglia dei 450 milioni di utilizzatori e dei 50 miliardi
di messaggi processati al giorno: la più elevata velocità di crescita nella
storia dell’economia mondiale

Il caso WhatsApp (2/4)
Al di là dell’entità della cifra pagata, è
proprio la velocità con cui WhatsApp e le
start-up sue concorrenti stanno
disgregando un mercato ricco come quello
degli SMS, con pesantissimi danni per gli operatori telecom che lo
controllano, che merita riflessione.
Anche perché si tratta di un mercato di nascita relativamente recente,
sviluppatosi (fino all’avvento degli smartphone) con il diffondersi dei
cellulari, e anche perché i soccombenti sono in larga maggioranza grandi
imprese.
Così come merita riflessione il fatto che i nuovi entranti - WhatsApp e le
altre start-up – sottraggano alle imprese incumbent quote crescenti di
mercato, ma non subentrino a esse (se non in minima parte)
nei ricavi e nei profitti, perché offrono i servizi alternativi (quasi)

gratuitamente.
Il caso WhatsApp (3/4)
Quali sono stati gli ingredienti alla base
del fenomeno WhatsApp? Se ne possono
evidenziare almeno cinque:
• la possibilità nata con gli smartphone di un accesso in mobilità a Internet
e quindi di un convogliamento alternativo dei messaggi;
• la possibilità passando attraverso Internet di aggirare la politica di
discriminazione dei prezzi in funzione degli utilizzi applicata dagli
operatori telecom: quale ad esempio l’inclusione nei messaggi stessi di
foto;
• la disponibilità crescente di banda larga (broadband), per i suoi riflessi
sulla qualità dei servizi fatti transitare attraverso Internet;
• la disponibilità di una infrastruttura sempre più consistente di cloud
computing;
• il costo estremamente contenuto per la creazione e la diffusione di una
app di così grande successo.

Il caso WhatsApp (4/4)
La crescita di WhatsApp attraverso la
disgregazione di un settore ricco come
quello degli SMS è un caso esemplare di
big-bang disruption……
……cioè il fenomeno, dilagante nell’economia, di sparizione di interi
settori o comunque di stravolgimento delle loro logiche competitive
per l’entrata in gioco di business model completamente (quale quello di
WhatsApp) o parzialmente alternativi, resi possibili dalla più recente
ondata di innovazioni tecnologiche e di investimenti infrastrutturali
nell’ICT.

Swatch Switches Gears on Smartwatches as Apple Looms
Its Stock Falling, Swatch Adds 'Smart' Features to Watches
Swatch Group is starting to
get worried about
smartwatches. Over the past
12 months, Swatch shares
have fallen nearly 11%, more
than rivals Richemont and
LVMH.
For years Swatch has
dismissed Internet-enabled
watches as novelties that
won't disrupt business at the
world's biggest watchmaker.
The company said it is introducing fitness functions, a key feature of smartwatches,

Cameras Succumb to Smartphone Juggernaut
There was a time when it would have been
crazy to suggest that a phone camera would
ever approach the speed and quality of a
stand-alone camera. Now, that day is over.
Sales of point-and-shoot cameras have been
declining for years .. Taking a picture with a
phone simply isn't a subpar experience. For
most people, most of the time, a phone is all
you need.
What the phone did to the camera isn't an isolated incident. The story
behind the death of the stand-alone camera is a history of the future of
almost everything.

Smartphones Expose Camera Makers' Shortcomings
Sales of Mass-Market Models Plummet, and High-End Hopes Look Misplaced

Smartphones are killing off the
once-core business of compact
digital cameras. Worse still,
hopes that sales of high-end
models would make up the
shortfall now look misplaced.
Sales of compact cameras are
already tumbling fast at Canon
and Nikon, which together sold
44% of all cameras globally last
year.

Nintendo’s declining sales put change of game plan on
cards
Nintendo announced that it had cut its net
profit forecast of Y55bn ($527m) in the
year to March to a net loss of Y25bn, as
sales of its Wii U games console and 3DS
handheld unit fell well short of global
targets ..
The core problem is that the world’s largest games machine maker has
been hurt by the big shift to mobile devices. Casual gamers are abandoning
specialised hardware in favour of playing on phones and tablet computers,
on which titles can be downloaded at a fraction of the cost ..

Film in streaming a pagamento: Lo «store» Google arriva anche in
Italia
Si arricchisce il mercato del cinema on line a pagamento . Sul play disponibili pellicole a noleggio e in
abbonamento
Un nuovo contendente cerca di portare in
Italia lo streaming legale di film: si chiama
Google ed è pronto a dare battaglia ai
numerosi concorrenti. Da oggi infatti anche in
Italia sarà possibile noleggiare o acquistare
film da Google Play, il negozio online del
colosso delle ricerche già noto per la vendita
di applicazioni, giochi, musica e libri.
Google sbarca in un mercato affollatissimo dove i servizi abbondano:
ITUNES (Apple); CHILI TV (cui partecipa anche il «Corriere» con il Cinema Store); CUBO
VISION (Telecom Italia); MYMOVIESWIDE!; VODDLER (arrivato in Italia a maggio); XBOX
VIDEO (Microsoft); PLAYSTATION 3 (Videostore di Sony).
Entro fine anno arriveranno anche le piattaforme di Mediaset e Sky.

Streaming services take toll on digital music sales
Long considered the music industry’s best prospect for growth, US digital
music sales declined in 2013 for the first time since the launch of Apple’s
iTunes store in 2003… US digital single track sales dropped 6 per cent in
2013 to 1.26bn units from 1.34bn in 2012...
Total digital album sales were about flat year
on year, with 118m units sold.
The sales decline comes amid the fast growth
of streaming music services, such as Spotify,
Deezer and Rdio. .. The total number of audio
and video streams surged 24 per cent to 50m
streams during the first half of 2013
compared with the same period the year
before ..

Second wind
Some traditional businesses are thriving in
an age of disruptive innovation
Even staid businesses such as law firms and universities are
threatened by technology-cum-globalisation.
But look at the air more closely and you can see some
strange objects floating around:
- Swiss watches
- Montblanc fountain pens
- Harris Tweed jackets
- old-fashioned sailing boats.
Management gurus may tell people to bow down before the great god of
disruptive innovation.
But some companies are cheerfully doing the opposite - preserving or
resuscitating traditional technologies and business models.

L’Editoria: I giornali
Due business model tradizionali per il giornale “cartaceo”:
• la formula mista “lettori + pubblicità”, con il passaggio per le edicole o la
distribuzione diretta (prevalentemente per abbonamento)
• la formula “free press”, solo pubblicità, con la distribuzione diretta gratuita nei
punti di grande passaggio.
Che cosa succede con l’avvento di Internet?
• cresce la disponibilità di notizie gratuite su web, che comincia ad assorbire
fatturato pubblicitario;
• inizia la vendita online dei giornali, con effetti abbastanza limitati;
• iniziano a scendere, anche per effetto della crisi, sia le vendite cartacee sia la
pubblicità sui giornali;
• inizia un lento processo di riorganizzazione dei giornali, diverso a seconda dei
paesi, con una progressiva fusione fra le redazioni cartacea e online

L’Editoria: I giornali
Che cosa succede con l’avvento di smartphone + tablet + app +
cloud+ banda larga?
• cresce molto, soprattutto con il tablet, la vendita online: limitata però ai
giornali più importanti e non tale da bilanciare le perdite nelle copie cartacee (se
non forse per giornali specializzati come FT e WSJ);
• il prelievo sulla vendita (che avviene attraverso app) è forte: il 30 per cento nel
caso di Apple;
• cresce il contenzioso con gli OTT per la sottrazione illecita di news, con un
paradosso: senza il passaggio attraverso gli OTT un giornale “non esiste”;
• calano drasticamente le vendite del “cartaceo” e cala drasticamente la
pubblicità, facendo entrare in crisi anche giornali come il NYT;
• “mai così tanti lettori come adesso (Ferruccio De Bortoli)”, ma mai così pochi
soldi;
• violente ristrutturazioni, come quella recente di RCS;
• chiusura di moltissime edicole (un terzo delle esistenti a Milano), che vedono
esaurirsi la loro funzione.

Barnes & Noble, the Last Big Bookseller Standing: But for How Long?
(2/2)
… Despite the bankruptcy of chief competitor Borders in
2011, Barnes & Noble has struggled to increase sales. It
has actively moved to address consumers’ rapid shift
from print to digital books and to combat Amazon’s
expanding Kindle business. However, Barnes & Noble’s
Nook now faces a growing number of competitors ..
The challenge for Barnes & Noble is that it lacks a strong digital content
ecosystem relative to Amazon, Apple and Google. Both Apple and Amazon, for
example, have invested heavily in video content and digital music distribution.
Barnes & Noble historically has focused solely on books.
“Barnes & Noble is the last bookstore chain standing,” says Wharton
management professor Steve Kobrin, “There’s still a niche there, but it may go to
small independent bookstores.” © Umberto Bertelè

Big fashion names fund shopping app
Retailer faces a double whammy akin

Some of the fashion world’s biggest names are backing a
fledgling New York ecommerce platform that aims to use
the familiarity of social media hallmarks to make shopping
easier on a mobile phone.
Lew Frankfort .. and Groupe Arnault, the fund controlled by LVMH’s Bernard Arnault, have all

Spring is a direct-sales marketplace targeting young, twenty-something female
professionals that combines the visual aesthetic of photo-sharing app Instagram with the
compulsive swipe function of dating app Tinder and the “favouriting” and “following”
components of Twitter.
Spring provides the software and technological infrastructure, while the fashion companies
handle inventory and shipping via their existing ecommerce operations.

China e-commerce love affair breaks records on Single’s Day
Monday in China was Single’s Day, a day that e-commerce companies have turned
into the world’s biggest day for online shopping by offering a steady stream of
promotions and deep discounts.
By 1:04pm on Monday, sales on Alibaba, the nation’s largest e-commerce group,
reached $3.1bn. At midnight, this figure had almost doubled to $5.7bn.
Last year, revenue from online sales in China was between $190bn-$210bn, a close

Alibaba to raise up to $21.1bn in IPO
Alibaba is seeking to raise up to $21.1bn
on the New York Stock Exchange in what
will be one of the largest IPO on record,
with a price range of $60 to $66. At the top
of the range this would value the company
at about $160bn.
At $16bn, Facebook’s listing in 2012 is the
largest technology or internet-related IPO.
Alibaba is China’s largest ecommerce platform, controlling as much as 80 per cent
of the market, with nearly $300bn worth of goods sold on its marketplaces last
year (more than comparable figures for Amazon.com and eBay combined).
Alibaba has been facing competition from other Chinese Internet companies,
including Tencent, as they all work to lure China's 500 million smartphone users.

Tech's Fiercest Rivalry: Uber vs. Lyft
The Two Heavily Financed Upstarts Also Aim to
Supplant the Taxi Industry
Forget Apple vs. Google. The fiercest
battle in the tech capital may well be
between two heavily financed upstarts
plotting the demise of the taxi industry
- and each other.
Uber and Lyft are undercutting each
other's prices, poaching drivers and coopting innovations, increasingly
blurring the lines between the two

Uber hit with nationwide ban in Germany
Uber is facing its biggest legal challenge so far after its most popular service was banned
throughout Germany, marking the first time the disruptive taxi app has been hit with a
countrywide restriction. The temporary injunction imposed by Frankfurt’s Regional Court
prohibits the fast-growing company from operating its Uber Pop “ride-sharing” service.
Uber said it would continue to operate in defiance
of the injunction, but it faces fines of up to
€250,000 ($328,000) per trip if it is caught violating
the ban, which does not affect its higher-priced
"Black" limousine service.
Ride-sharing companies allow anybody who
passes a background check to act as an ad-hoc taxi
driver after being hailed by a smartphone app.
Critics say the model poses safety risks and skirts regulations that licensed taxi drivers must
adhere to, while Uber and other start-ups say it increases consumer choice and creates
jobs. Amid escalating regulatory challenges and battles with taxi operators around the
world, Uber last month hired David Plouffe, election campaign manager to Barack Obama,

to lead its strategic and policy response.© Umberto Bertelè

Silicon Valley start-ups vie to make online credit work
(1/2)
Lending working capital to small businesses hardly sounds like the sexy end
of the digital industry. But something of a race is on between a band of
internet start-ups – many with big-name backers [i.e. Google, David
Bonderman (co-founder of private equity firm TPG), Vikram Pandit and Tom
Glocer (former CEOs respectively of Citigroup and Thomson Reuters)] - that
see this as one of the best avenues to breaking into the financial services
world.
Manually collecting and analysing the information needed to understand
whether a business can remain solvent is a costly activity. That usually
makes it uneconomic to lend the small amounts of cash that small
businesses need. Automating this process promises to change the
economics.

Silicon Valley start-ups vie to make online credit work
(2/2)
The ability to pull in accounting data automatically from a borrower’s own
books has been made easier by the fact that much of that information now
resides in cloud services. Most lenders also draw on other pools of data –
from government census surveys to user reviews on online sites such as Yelp
– to build their risk models and gather a full picture of a business’s
prospects. Crunching the data with algorithms, rather than human analysts,
has further reduced overheads.

Lending Club seeks to raise more than $500m in IPO
Lending Club moved ahead with plans for an IPO that will test investor demand
for peer-to-peer lenders.
The San Francisco-based company, founded in 2007, is likely to seek a valuation of
about $5bn and hopes to raise more than $500m.
The company runs an online marketplace for connecting borrowers and lenders. It
has facilitated more than $5bn in loans, including over $1bn in the second quarter
of 2014.
Unlike a bank, Lending Club does not assume credit risk or use its own capital to
invest in loans. Investors have been lured by high-yielding loans in the platform
during a period of historically low interest rates.

Indian start-ups tap into mobile payments technology
A handful of Indian start-ups, aided by a growing
number of global investors, are hoping to roll out types
of mobile technology first popularised by Silicon Valley
start-up Square.
Square and its rivals, including eBay’s PayPal unit, make credit card readers that
plug into smartphones for use by small scale merchants from artisans to babysitters
who often avoid the hassle of accepting cards.
Leading Indian start-ups such as Ezetap and Mswipe might not have Square’s
heady valuation – which was put at about $5bn in January – but their technology
works in much the same way, while targeting the more basic phones that remain
common in India and other emerging markets.
International enthusiasm for the sector was underlined last week when American
Express took a minority stake in Bangalore-based Ezetap.

Banking Market
Where Most Have a Phone and Few Have Bank Accounts,
Telecom Operators Dominate Fast-Growing Business
In Kenya, where telecom companies dominate the
mobile-payments market, one of the country's largest
banks is fighting to retake some of its traditional turf.
M-Pesa - owned by Safaricom, the Kenyan subsidiary of
global telecom giant Vodafone - is Kenya's most popular
mobile-payments service.
M-Pesa, launched in 2007, handles $18 billion in
transactions annually. They come from cow herders in
the country's dusty Rift Valley villages, pedicab drivers in
the bustling port of Mombasa and technology
entrepreneurs in traffic-clogged Nairobi. Together, they

The Money Is in the Email
Square Cash Lets Users Email Funds to Friends
While you can buy a $500 iPad at Amazon.com with a single
click, sending even small amounts of cash to a friend or relative is
still often a tedious and slow task. In most cases, you wind up
doing exactly what you would have in 1957 - writing a check and
mailing it. The recipient then has to cash it or deposit it in her
bank account.
But starting Tuesday, you can just email cash, free of charge, directly from your debit card to
anyone else's, regardless of what bank each party uses. There's no login or password to
remember and no special software or hardware required - you just use email. It works on
both ends using any email service or program on any email-capable device, whether a
computer, a smartphone or a tablet.
This new service, called Square Cash, comes from Square, best known for equipping small
brick-and-mortar merchants with smartphone-swiping devices that allow them to accept
credit cards, and with tablets that act as sophisticated cash registers.

Medicall Home
A drab office block in a busy inner suburb of Mexico City is the epicentre of one of the most

paramedics, dressed in starched white coats, sit in cubicles waiting to answer phones. The
medics are supported by computer systems loaded with protocols pooled from some of the

This little call-centre is the heart of Medicall Home, created by a telemarketing
entrepreneur, Pedro Yrigoyen, which provides a bare-bones primary healthcare service for
about five million Mexicans for just $5 a month, paid through their mobile phone bill.
Two-thirds of the issues raised by callers are resolved over the phone .. If Medicall Home

In early manufacturing applications, some companies are using the
devices to accelerate product development, since they eliminate wait
times for prototyping by faraway specialists.

3D printing
(2/2)
Companies will be able to consider new supply-chain models and, in
some cases, replace traditional suppliers of parts with targeted usage
of in-house printers.
These printers won’t replace traditional high-volume modes of
production, such as die casting and stamping.
For more specialized goods, though, it’s easy to imagine the
emergence of service businesses - the equivalent of copy or print
shops - that would manufacture items based on design specifications
provided by B2B or B2C customers. Crowdsourcing networks for newproduct ideas could one day complement traditional R&D activities
for some manufacturers.

Spare a thought for Silicon Valley’s rust belt(1/2)
More cost-cutting to come at suppliers of corporate technology
Shrinking revenues. Stagnant share prices in
the midst of a stock market boom.
Doubts that some will ever see significant
growth again.
While younger companies riding the social
media, cloud and mobile waves are all the
rage on Wall Street, large parts of the tech
industry are in a funk.
Companies missing out on the stock market party include some of the biggest
suppliers of corporate technology, including IBM, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and
Oracle. Microsoft and Intel have also been left behind by the rise of mobile.

Spare a thought for Silicon Valley’s rust belt(2/2)
More cost-cutting to come at suppliers of corporate technology
In the four years to 2010, their combined
revenues grew 30 per cent despite a blow to
demand from the 2008 financial crisis. The
following four years, by contrast, are expected
to show growth of only 9 per cent.
Most have at least managed to maintain a
good earnings record, thanks to cost-cutting
and share buybacks.
As the Financial Times reported last year, some creative accounting to hide
supposedly “one off” costs has also helped to lift profits.

The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will
be immense - and no country is ready for it
(1/4)
Innovation has always cost people their jobs .. For those who believe that
technological progress has made the world better, such churn is a natural
part of rising prosperity.
Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones .. but for
workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves
evident faster than its benefits. Even if new jobs and wonderful products
emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social
dislocation and perhaps even changing politics ..

The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will
be immense - and no country is ready for it
(2/4)
Over the past three decades, labour’s share of output has shrunk globally
from 64% to 59%. Meanwhile, the share of income going to the top 1% in
America has risen from around 9% in the 1970s to 22% today ..
Worse, it seems likely that this wave of technological disruption to the job
market has only just started .. The public sector is one obvious target: it has
proved singularly resistant to tech-driven reinvention. But the step change in
what computers can do will have a powerful effect on middle-class jobs in
the private sector too ..

The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will
be immense - and no country is ready for it
(3/4)
The digital revolution is transforming the process of innovation itself ... The
number of digital startups has exploded .. It takes years for new industries
to grow, whereas the disruption a startup causes to incumbents is felt
sooner.
Airbnb may turn homeowners with spare rooms into entrepreneurs, but it
poses a direct threat to the lower end of the hotel business - a massive
employer .. If this analysis is halfway correct, the social effects will be
huge .. Innovation has brought great benefits to humanity….

The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will
be immense - and no country is ready for it
(4/4)
But the benefits of technological
progress are unevenly distributed,
especially in the early stages of
each new wave, and it is up to
governments to spread them.
In the 19th century it took the threat
of revolution to bring about
progressive reforms. Today’s
governments would do well to start
making the changes needed before
their people get angry.

Davos 2014: Google's Schmidt warning on jobs
Google chairman, Eric Schmidt, has
warned the jobs problem will be "the
defining one" for the next two-three
decades .. He said given the constant
development of new technology, more
and more middle class workers
would lose their jobs ..
Mr Schmidt compared the situation to the industrial revolution .. He pointed
out that .. more jobs were created by small companies and therefore
entrepreneurs needed more support.
