This paper argues that a cable operator with sufficient market power in the downstream multi-channel video programming distribution (MVPD) market can deny access to unaffiliated programmers, resulting in an upstream programming rival's exit or impaired dynamic efficiency. Further, market dominance by cable operators may harm consumers of video programming through higher prices and less choice in the downstream MVPD market. The reason is that as unaffiliated video programming becomes affiliated programming, the latter is then withheld from rival MVPDs. This analysis is then applied to the recent acquisition of Adelphia by Comcast and Time Warner.

Este caso de ensino descreve a trajetória do grupo de mídia brasileiro Esporte Interativo (EI), empresa iniciada por três jovens empreendedores e dedicada a produzir e distribuir conteúdo esportivo em múltiplas plataformas. O dilema está centrado no CEO e sócio-fundador do grupo, Edgar Diniz, que enfrenta um novo momento na empresa com a venda iminente para a Turner, braço televisivo do grupo americano Time Warner, no final de 2014. O choque de modelos de negócios podem representar desafios para a gestão da empresa, que precisa decidir os rumos estratégicos futuros. As informações utilizadas no caso são reais e foram obtidas através de entrevistas em profundidade, com roteiro semiestruturado, com o fundador e CEO da empresa, o outro fundador e Vice Presidente de Mídias Digitais e o Vice Presidente de Desenvolvimento de Negócios, além de investigação documental e revisão bibliográfica. Sugere-se que o caso seja utilizado para alunos de pós graduação, em disciplinas de Estratégia Empresarial, com os seguintes objetivos educacionais: a) Análise de ecossistemas de negócios e reconfiguração de indústrias a partir das mudanças geradas pelo desenvolvimento das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação; b) Compreensão das questões estratégicas relacionadas à gestão de plataformas e das dinâmicas “winner-takes-all”, onde as recompensas por se alcançar a liderança são desproporcionais à vantagem que se possui sobre quem não a alcança, típicas de mercados em rede; c) Discussão dos tipos de inovação (incremental e disruptiva) e suas consequências para novos entrantes e incumbentes; d) Planejamento com Cenários.

A portal is defined as an entrance point to online content. The portal concept has evolved across a number of markets and applications. Customer portals focus on individual customer and offer a one-stop Internet access. By providing a number of services, such as searches, shopping, e-mail, and games, portals allow individuals to avoid browsing the Web but to in-fact rely and stay at one Web site like a one-stop shop. Accordingly, portals drive eyeballs, and hence create and drive advertising revenue and alliances. The concept of a single public port to given content on the Internet is used as a means of pulling in a large number of users. As an example, America Online (AOL) acts as a portal site to general Web content. It is a specialized portal created by AOL and also has content from partners such as Time Warner (Kleindl, 2003). This article reviews the role of portals in consumer search behavior and certain aspects in marketing.

This case recounts the announced terms of five prominent acquisitions of the late 1990s, and asks the student to suggest a preliminary strategy for integrating the target firm into the buyer. The five acquisitions are America Online/Time Warner, British Petroleum/Amoco, Daimler-Benz/Chrysler, Union Pacific/Southern Pacific, and Warner-Lambert/Agouron Pharmaceuticals. The objectives of the case are: 1) to highlight the linkage of the post-merger integration approach with the strategic motives for the acquisition; 2) to consider the range of possible challenges to successful post-merger integration; 3) to explore the varieties of integration strategy, especially surrounding decisions about autonomy of the target company within the buyer, importance of interdependence between the buyer and target, and need for speed of integration.
