Ch. 6 Case Study
YouTube LLC: Going Global by Acting Local
1. Do a SWOT analysis of YouTube in India. Strengths: The site is user-friendly and uploading videos is simple. They enable fans content and users with whom they can connect. Weaknesses: Copyrighted material is allowed to be uploaded to the site. While there are some Indian languages on the site, the main language is still English. Opportunities: There may be a way to join forces with various Indian TV networks that would attract more local viewers. After a period of growth, they could sell custom advertising. Threats: India’s local music labels may sue YouTube. Various Indian portals that aim to provide local content to their users.

2. Assess YouTube’s growth through alliances and partnerships. YouTube had many deals with global content providers, but specifically in India, they had made deals with Eros Entertainment, the International Indian Film Academy, India TV, and many other Indian companies to offer the most local entertainment they could find.

3. Assess the company’s localizing strategy. Do you recommend that YouTube “localize” when entering other countries? In India, YouTube provided a larger platform in which to share more relevant content about the country’s unique and diverse culture and lifestyle. While English was to be the main language, they also are expanding to include some of the local Indian languages. Localizing the site to be of better use to the area seems like something obvious a company should expect to do in order to remain viable in a new market. Different countries and locales have different interests, and if you ignore those interests, the failure of the company seems imminent.

4. What are the problems YouTube is experiencing in India? While YouTube had gained a good following, it faced problems such as being sued by the local music labels for displaying their content without permission. Also, YouTube is facing

    The density of a pure substance is a characteristic physical property that can be used to identify the substance. Density is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume. It is an “intensive” property, that is, it does not depend on the amount of the substance. The density of any material is determined by measuring its mass and volume and then dividing the mass by the volume. The mass of a substance can be measured directly using a balance. The volume of a liquid can also be measured directly using special laboratory glassware, such as a graduated cylinder, a buret, or a pipet. In this experiment, liquid volume will be measured using a pipet. A pipet is designed to deliver an accurate and precise volume of liquid to another container.…

    How Youtube Has Changed the Way People Communicate and Collaborate.

    The role YouTube plays in the way everyday people communicate, collaborate and share their every day experiences has expanded in leaps and bounds in a very short period of time and it is this ability to expand that has come about with the advancement of the internet, in particular the Web 2.0. The biggest change to date in internet technology, “the so-called Web 2.0, has blurred the line between producers and consumers of content and has shifted attention from access to information toward access to other people” (Brown & Adler, 2008). It has also been the development of applications that allow for a more user emphasized environment and experience along with the increase in high speed broadband internet that has shaped the ability and increased the ease to generate, edit and publish works through social networking sites and…

    Naturally, all of this free speech creates controversy. Where there is free speech, it won’t be long before there is censorship, copyright infringement, and legal battles over privacy rights. One clear example that highlights these concerns is the creation of mash-up videos. Mash-up videos are videos created by an author splicing video clips from existing sources with audio from other sources. For example, a Harry Potter fan might slice various clips from the many Harry Potter movies that have been released in order to create a false trailer for an upcoming movie. He or she might add cool music to the background or eye-catching titles to grab the audience's attention. He or she might also add fitting voice-overs to compliment the music playing in the background. The video author is creating a new work of art from existing resources, but the controversy comes in because the author has used someone else’s copyrighted work.…

    Scalability at Youtube

    A big problem YouTube were facing during its rise in popularity was that the number of developers went up by two but the number of videos being watched went up as Mike tells us in the YouTube vid ‘9 orders of magnitude’. In the video Mike also describes a fatal mistake he had made when coding the interface between the servlet and template layer he used a dictionary which is a bad idea. Like a lot of programming errors this was a lot harder to fix later on in the project as opposed to the early life of the program. Other problems Mike describes is splitting the entire project into components, you want to be able to swap components in and out. There’s not going to be one individual or programmer who will know the whole bulk of the code inside out, having so many people working on a particular project can become difficult to organize. This is all about good software design but it is important that components work with each other. The majority of YouTube was initially coded with python and as Mike points out when we watch a video it still executes primarily through this. ‘It’s about what not to do in python ’ he states later on in the video suggesting throughout the years there has been a lot of trial and error in the solving of some problems. Another problem YouTube may have faced was its million lines of python code and maintaining this code in its different components.…

    Indian Entertainment Industry

    Welcome to PwC’s India Entertainment and Media Outlook 2011, analysing nine entertainment and media (E&M) industry segments. We have detailed key trends and challenges in each of the segments besides providing their future prospects. In addition, we have provided our views on tax and regulatory issues as well as the technology that is influencing the distribution of content in the industry. The year 2010 saw the global economy begin to recover from a steep decline which in turn saw a rebound in consumer spend, advertising spend and most importantly E&M spend worldwide. Advertisement in particular staged a remarkable comeback in nearly all markets. The world in general continued its shift towards ‘digital’ though the magnitude of change was different in many markets. India recorded one of the highest growth rates in the world at 11.2% in 2010. Yet, this was lower than projected, largely due to the negative growth in the film segment, with all the other segments growing as projected. E&M revenues in India continue to be largely non-digital with TV, print and film constituting almost 90% of the sector. While consumer preference continues to change, the shift to digital is hindered by poor infrastructure as well as affordability of broadband and mobile. Our forecast period does not show a dramatic change. However, just because the change is not aggressive does not mean digital revenues will remain irrelevant. We continue to believe that this situation is temporary and once infrastructure is in place, change will be rapid. The industry needs to use this time to prepare for the digital world. In this edition, we also present our views on the elements of the digital enterprise of the future. At PwC, we continue to monitor trends and developments that may impact your business now as well as in future. We appreciate your feedback and request you to continue to tell us what can make the India E&M Outlook…
