Blue Chip

Big Tech has flourished on the US public markets in recent years with numerous blue-chip IPOs, from Google and Facebook, to new kids on the block such as Snap, Zoom, and Airbnb. A key trend is the burgeoning use of dual-class stock. Dual-class stock enables founders to divest of equity and generate finance for growth through an IPO, without losing the control they desire to pursue their long-term, market-disrupting visions. Bobby Reddy scrutinises the global history of dual-class stock, evaluates the conceptual and empirical evidence on dual-class stock, and assesses the approach of the London Stock Exchange and ongoing UK regulatory reforms to dual-class stock. A policy roadmap is presented that optimally supports the adoption of dual-class stock while still protecting against its potential abuses, which will more effectively attract high-growth, innovative companies to the UK equity markets, boost the economy, and unleash the true potential of 'founders without limits'.

The author compares the relative response of Treasury fund flows to the sentiment-prone Michigan Survey of Inflation Expectations and to the Blue Chip Survey of Financial Forecasts, a professional forecast of inflation. The Treasury market is an ideal subject for examining whether or not sentiment affects flows: it is highly liquid, making it unlikely that it is hard to arbitrage, and inflation is the primary factor affecting its returns. Using mutual fund inflows into TIPs and Treasury mutual funds that occurred between January 1991 and June 2011, the author finds that the Michigan Survey is insignificantly related to flows into inflation-indexed TIPs and is positively related to flows into nominal Treasury funds. The Blue Chip Survey does not have incremental explanatory power. The evidence is consistent with a combination of a hedging motive and a flight to liquidity triggered by information in the Michigan Survey about households’ perception of financial market risk. The two motives reinforce each other in driving flows into nominal Treasury funds when the Michigan forecast of inflation is high, while they appear to cancel each other out in determining flows into the illiquid TIPS market.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan akurasi dengan menurunkan tingkat kesalahan prediksi dari 5 data saham blue chip di Indonesia. Dengan cara mengkombinasikan desain 4 hidden layer neural nework menggunakan Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) dan Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Dari tiap data saham akan dihasilkan grafik rmse-epoch yang dapat menunjukan kombinasi layer dengan akurasi terbaik, sebagai berikut; (a) BBCA dengan layer LSTM-GRU-LSTM-GRU (RMSE=1120,651, e=15), (b) BBRI dengan layer LSTM-GRU-LSTM-GRU (RMSE =110,331, e=25), (c) INDF dengan layer GRU-GRU-GRU-GRU (RMSE =156,297, e=35 ), (d) ASII dengan layer GRU-GRU-GRU-GRU (RMSE =134,551, e=20 ), (e) TLKM dengan layer GRU-LSTM-GRU-LSTM (RMSE =71,658, e=35 ). Tantangan dalam mengolah data Deep Learning (DL) adalah menentukan nilai parameter epoch untuk menghasilkan prediksi akurasi yang tinggi.

Measuring company efficiency is an important issue for both managers and investors. Efficiency measurement is always important because organizations are constantly striving to increase internal productivity. However, investors are more concerned about sustainability than many executives believe. Almost 75% of investment community respondents strongly believed that improvements in operational efficiency were often accompanied by progress in terms of sustainability. This study examined companies listed on the Taiwan 50 and Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 Indexes and measured and ranked their operational efficiencies, identifying representatives with high investment potential among these highly capitalized blue chip stocks from various industries. The results will provide managers with recommendations for improving operational efficiency through competitive mapping, as well as a list of the most attractive targets for investment.

Chapter Six investigates the sources of Singapore’s interventionist, internationally-focused, funding-centric VC policy formula. Singaporean policymakers’ norms favor policies that offer financing and that attract international investors, which led them to adapt what they learned by seeking out further templates that fit their interventionist approach, including their adaptation of the Israeli Yozma Fund into a US$ 1 billion fund of VC fund. Hungry to implement other means of enticing blue chip VC investors to Singapore, VC policymakers improvised additional VC policy incentives beyond what they learned in their studies of Silicon Valley and Israel. They launched tax exemption schemes, a tax credit for investors’ losses in start-up investments and the Global Investor Program whereby foreign VC investors can obtain Singaporean permanent residency.

Although structural semiotics has origins in the dual disciplines of communication science and anthropology, many commercial semioticians limit their practice to the analysis of texts such as advertising, popular media, and cultural phenomena, to the exclusion of consumer research. Some practicing semioticians even advertise that semiotics does not apply to consumer behavior. However, a cursory look at the academic literature makes it clear that the object of semiotics is not limited to textual analysis, but applies to a wide range of human experiences, including social organization (Hodge and Kress 1988), cinema spectating (Metz [1976] 1981), the flow of traffic in a mall (Oswald 2015), and even animal behavior (Sebeok 1972). Furthermore, in the course of twenty years of consulting to blue chip companies, it is clear that the object of semiotics is not limited to textual analysis, but also applies to a wide range of marketing factors including consumer-centered design strategy, cultural branding, and media planning. This chapter illustrates how semiotics can be applied to standard qualitative research methods to gain deeper insights, encourage respondent creativity, and improve the consistency and validity of findings for the client. Christian Pinson contributes an early essay on marketing semiotics research.

This chapter addresses the reactions from communities of early supporters of companies turning from participative forms of financing to classical venture capital and/or buyouts by blue chip firms. Through the study of two recent cases of major crowdfunding successes, namely Oculus VR, a Californian company which obtained nearly $2.5 Million in an exemplary Kickstarter campaign and was later bought by Facebook for $2 Billion, and Mojang, a Swedish company formed to manage the unprecedented success of a video game, Minecraft, sold to supporters from its unfinished versions, the firm being later purchased by Microsoft for $2.5 Billion. Both of these companies had to manage the changes in the nature of their relationships with their early supporters. This chapter proposes typologies of potentially harmful changes induced by attempts to transform bonding social capital into bridging social capital, as well as countermeasures available to entrepreneur to control the effects of such situations.
