    Google Square: Acquisition Plan

    Our two business valuations using discounted cash flows of Intuit’s GoPay segment, and a relative valuation of Square to the mobile application industry based on revenues gave us similar figures of $1.65, and $1.619 billion dollars. Given these figures, we conclude the highest price Google will pay for Square is $2 billion dollars. Given Google’s large $49 billion cash on hand, and proven track record of having acquired 109 companies, Google has the capabilities managerialy and financially to succesfully complete this acquisition. This would be a friendly takeover if carried through, with a timeline of events for the acquisition listed below.…

    According to the (Plunket Research, 2013), the market value worldwide for telecommunication industry in 2013 was USD 5 trillion and the market value for United States alone was USD 1.2 trillion. Technology has been an integral part of our daily life; and it is widely used in all business organizations. 91% of adults in United States owned a cell phone (Pew Research, 2013) and the telecommunication industry may seems to be an attractive industry with the increase demand of such product and services.

    Google Motorola Takeover

    Evaluate the decision by Google to buy Motorola. What economic concepts would support this investment and in your opinion why might the purchase of Motorola be anti-competitive? “We are on a turning-point in the world of personal technology. For around 30 years PCs in various forms have been people’s main computing devices. Now the rise of smartphones and tablet computers threatens to erode the PC’s dominance, prompting talk that a “post-PC” era is finally dawning.” (Miles, 2011) On August 15 Google announced a $12.5bn deal to acquire Motorola Mobility. Until then, Google was known for its search engine and AndroidTM Operating System (OS). It had always avoided involvements in the hardware market in the past (Halliday, 2011). So therefore this was a quit exceptional deal and also Google‘s biggest acquisition so far. This deal will allow Google to step into the market of making both smartphones and tablets, a new, big step in the gadget-market1. Where it avoided involvement in the hardware market in the past, it is now turning itself into one of the main competitors for RIM‘s Blackberry and Apples iPhone. In acquiring Motorola Mobility Google will pit itself against manufacturing giant Nokia wit hits strategic partner Microsoft. But does this deal supercharge Google and its AndroidTM ecosystem? This essay will attempt to evaluate Google‘s decision by looking at the underlying economic concepts and will draw up an opinion on whether the purchase is anti-competitive or not.…

    1. Four strategic issues that emerge from analyzing the financial data are. Motorola’s liquidity, Motorola’s cost of sales, Motorola’s efficiency, and its leverage. The first strategic issue is that Motorola is considerably less liquid than the typical company in the industry, Motorola’s quick and current ratio is very much lower than the average firms in the industry. The data showed that the average collection period for Motorola is at 61 days, which is slightly lower than the average of the industry which is 50 days. The second strategic issues is that Motorola’s cost of sales is way higher than many of the average firms in the industry. This results in Motorola having a slightly lower gross profit margin and also having a high indirect cost, which then results in a low net profit margin performance compared to the industry. Another strategic issue is how Motorola uses their total assets. Motorola uses it less efficiently and also less than the average of the industry. The data shown in the case shows that Motorola uses its total assets at 4.37 while the industry uses its total assets at 6.24. The last strategic issue is that Motorola is somewhat less leveraged, with a lower debt and…

    Within this case, a number of steps will provide an understanding of Google’s next significant strategic move. A common strategy for large cap companies has always been mergers and acquisitions. Nevertheless, the company that is acquired must be chosen wisely in order to guarantee financial growth and competitiveness. When determining the most profitable acquisition, it is important to present Google’s current market capital i.e. the value of the company. The in-depth evaluation of Google’s financial means enables a better prediction of the competition.…

    Nokia Failed Reason

    Nokia vs Micromax (Developmental (NPD), Distribution, and Price Flexibility): Although Nokia is still a major player of Indian mobile handset segment, it has lost its tremendous share to competitors because of inflexibility like developmental (NPD), distribution, price, logistics, and It flexibilities in developing new products (NPD). Due to this flexibility or rigidity, Nokia lost touch of its market, which gave the competition enough space to seize the market share of low-income consumer segment. Mocromax, which is currently ranked third in the mobile handset industry, took a large chunk of market share away from Nokia because of the developmental flexibility. New innovative features like dual sim and wireless radio were offered by Micromax in its products. Nokia, however, failed to arrest its market share, because it could not add such innovative features in its handset. Due to this, Mocromax zoomed to third position in the market, while it started as a small trader/dealer of Nokia products in India.…
