Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Augsburg, language: English, abstract: This paper will examine the corporate success of Amazon.com, Inc. in times of the dot-com bubble compared to its performance in times of the corona-crisis. The comparison of the company during these financial crises will include corporate strategy, the company’s liquidity, revenue and profit. It will also analyse stock prices and the performance on the stock market, as well as the number of employees and their compensation as indicators for its financial situation and the company’s success. Looking at the global economy, it is clear to see that financial crises are occurring from time to time, challenging companies in many ways to innovate and find solutions and get through financially instable times with minimal losses. There are also different types of crises which are weakening especially certain economic sectors. The internet-crisis and the corona-crisis both had an immense impact on the financial market and the business world. Considering these two crises which are very different, or almost contradictory to each other, it seems to be interesting to compare the performance of an internet company, which began as one of these dot-com startups during the internet crisis, but is still innovative and successful to this day, even during the corona crisis.

The New (Ab)Normal
Author: Yossi Sheffi
Publisher: MIT CTL Media
ISBN: 1735766127
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Much has been written about Covid-19 victims, how scientists raced to understand and treat the disease, and how governments did (or did not) protect their citizens. Less has been written about the pandemic’s impact on the global economy and how companies coped as the competitive environment was upended. In his new book, "The New (Ab)Normal", MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi maps how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted business, supply chains, and society. He exposes the critical role supply chains play in helping people, governments, and companies to manage the crisis. The book draws on executive interviews, pandemic media coverage, and historical analyses. Sheffi also builds on themes from his books "The Resilient Enterprise" (2005) and "The Power of Resilience" (2015) to enrich the narrative. The author paints a compelling picture of how the Covid-19 virus is changing many facets of human life and what our post-pandemic world might look like. This must-read book helps companies to redefine their business models and adjust to a fast-evolving economic landscape. The stage is set In Part 1 of the book, “What Happened,” the author looks at how companies fought to mend the global economic fabric even as the virus ripped more holes in it. Part 2, “Living with Uncertainty,” views the crisis through a supply chain risk management lens derived from Yossi Sheffi’s previous books. This perspective shows how companies create corporate immune systems to quickly recognize and manage large-scale disruptions. The ongoing pandemic is creating a new normal in life, work, and education—covered in Part 3, “Adjustment Required.” Consumer fears about the contagion as well as government mandates require businesses in industries such as retail, hospitality, entertainment, sports, and education to create “safe zones” for workers and customers. Many elements of the book – especially in Part 4, “Supply Chains for the Future” – show how the virus accelerated preexisting trends in technology adoption. China was the epicenter of the pandemic; it also was the first nation to be disrupted and recover. Part 5 of the book, “Of Politics and Pandemics,” explains why reports that companies are abandoning China in favor of other offshore manufacturing centers do not reflect reality. Fundamentally, The New (Ab)Normal is about businesses trying to create a better future in a time of extreme uncertainty – a point emphasized in Part 6, “The Next Opportunities.” The outlook is not necessarily gloomy. The advance of technology is accelerating, a trend that can level the playing field between small and large companies. Nimble small businesses are using a growing array of off-the-shelf cloud computing and mobile apps to deploy sophisticated technologies in their supply chains and customer interfaces. The New (Ab)Normal Another new normal is working from home. Remote working enables individuals to live anywhere and companies to recruit talent from anywhere. Education, especially higher education, faces a major disruption (and major opportunity) that is likely to shake the high-cost model of in-person education in favor of online or hybrid education. Regrettably, the book recognizes one trend accentuated by Covid-19--the growing inequality, and anticipates that the new normal will be more stratified.

Equity Valuation and Negative Earnings
Author: Ana Paula Matias Gama
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 981103009X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Building upon Feltham and Ohlson models, this book examines positive loss-earnings within the context of the dot.com bubble during the boom years of the late 1990s bull market. The strong demand for equity financing captured the imagination of investors from Europe and U.S. like never before. With a focus on U.S. Internet companies, the book explores both the birth and the death of the new economy, and how negative earnings and losses still garnered large investments and successful IPOs (Initial Public Offerings). As Internet based ventures and the digital economy keep attracting large amounts of equity financing, this book explains that there is something unique in the valuation and pricing of tech companies. The book was written for corporate financiers, capital market professionals, and academics to further their understanding of equity valuation and the effects of equity trading.

Book Description
The Internet stock bubble wasn't just about goggle-eyed day traderstrying to get rich on the Nasdaq and goateed twenty-five-year-olds playing wannabe Bill Gates.

The two young founders of lastminute.com saw their eighteen-month-old company, which has still not made a penny in profits, launch on the stock market at a valuation of 750 million pounds.
