Public Offering

The first decade of the e-commerce era saw an increase in activity in the software development industries as new firms were created and existing firms made acquisitions. Many firms pursued a growth strategy and this growth required capital that was often obtained through an initial public offering (IPO) of equity. Software firm cost structures are very different from traditional physical goods firms because their marginal costs are much lower, but what is not known is whether this affects their financing strategies. In this study we compare software firm and traditional firm IPOs using data from 780 IPOs offered during the late dot-com era (1998-2002) to identify differences in firm and offer characteristics, investment risk, initial returns, and underwriting activity. We find that the characteristics and performance of software firm IPOs are significantly different from IPOs offered by raditional firms during this time period providing supporting for our conclusion that firm cost structure should be considered when analyzing IPOs and other strategic issues.

Ship Repair

The article discusses the topical issues of ship repair production and technical preparation of production in the system "Sudomont-35" on the basis of the software firm "1C." The need to develop an integrated ship repair management system to synchronize the interaction of the company's services has been proved. It has been concluded that at this stage of the development of technology, when the requirements for the quality of ship repair, the old forms and methods of management of the relevant production processes have completely outlived. However, as before, the level of quality of ship repair determines the increase in the lifespan of ships, efficiency and profitability of the fleet.

Gain Access

This case study focuses on how a Korean software firm, CCMedia, executed a successful global strategy by merging with its technology partner to gain access to international markets. The case study also reviews the key challenges CCMedia faced after the merger. Intangible assets, such as IT technology, could allow CCMedia to earn overseas capital investment through the merger. With capital and human resources backup from IT Inspire Inc., its former technology partner, CCMedia could enter foreign markets. This case examines the transformation of a strategic technology alliance to a hierarchical structure as a result of a merger. It shows that technology-related alliances could play an important role in possible takeover activities. It provides insights into strategies that technology-based small businesses in Korea could follow to enter international markets.
