- Crowd farming platform Livestock Wealth is planning to establish presence in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region over the next year after growing its asset valuation to become a R100 million business. The fintech platform says it has seen increased demand for its investment products and services, particularly since the onset of COVID-19, as the pandemic fundamentally re-shapes the world of investment portfolios, with more South Africans seeking financial security.Developed by KwaZulu-Natal-born electro-mechanical engineer Ntuthuko Shezi, in 2015, Livestock Wealth offers people with no access to land, time or skills the opportunity to own livestock within a professionally managed farming operation. Through the Web and mobile application, investors are able to invest their money in cows and agricultural food products, rather than in unit trusts, shares or exchange-traded funds. In a telephonic interview with ITWeb, Shezi, who calls himself ‘cow executive officer’ of…arrow_forwardCould you do an Economic environmental assessment of South Africa and analyse how these factors might influence "moving Microsoft to South Africa"?

Blockbuster was once known throughout the world as a leader in home movie and video game rentals. Before the digital age, their products were the Netflix of the day. The problem? They refused to innovate. Sensing changes in the market — including by a start-up known as Netflix — Blockbuster began to push for a more in-demand market, creating programmes that allowed people to get videos delivered directly to their homes. However, it wasn’t enough: The company failed to properly prepare for the rise of the digital age and never created a product like that of Netflix that streamed movies directly to people’s internet devices. Their most egregious failure? A lack of imagination and a failure of business strategy. The company was offered the chance to purchase Netflix — but said no. Blockbuster did not have a corporate culture that embraced innovation, effective…arrow_forward
- internationally—and taking on debt. It strove to improve the in-store experience for shoppers, added cafes, and experimented with new concepts. Such a strategy may have worked a few decades earlier, but while Borders was investing in physical real estate, shoppers were flocking to the Internet. Borders was left with a conflicted strategy: Declining sales forced it to close hundreds of stores (including its entire Waldenbooks chain), while it doubled down on other retail outlets. Unfortunately, it treated the Internet like a passing trend instead of as a transformational phenomenon. The company outsourced its Web operation to Amazon—which obviously became a fierce rival. It waited until 2008 to develop its own Web strategy. Meanwhile, Amazon became the dominant player in online bookselling and e-books, introducing the Kindle e-reader. Its big brick and-mortar rival, Barnes & Noble, a laggard itself, later introduced the popular Nook e-reader and invested heavily in its own website.…arrow_forward1.

It was a dominant player in the photographic film market for most of the 20th century. However, the Company struggled with the rapid transition to digital photography in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Despite inventing the first digital camera, Kodak failed to embrace this new technology fully and instead continued to focus on traditional film products. As the Company’s profits and market share began to decline, Kodak initiated several rounds of downsizing to cut costs. From the mid-1990s onwards, Kodak started reducing its workforce drastically. In 1988, the Company had 145,300 employees. By 2007, the number had shrunk to 24,400. In the short term, the downsizing helped Kodak stay afloat, but it wasn’t enough to compensate for the Company’s strategic missteps. Kodak’s financial condition continued to worsen, and in 2012, the Company filed for bankruptcy. The Company…arrow_forward
- Coca-Cola and Nestlé combine One of the biggest marketing successes of the past decade has been the coffee shop chain. But the next move for coffee – and for its less hyped cousin, tea – could be to the fridge. Coca-Cola and Nestlé, two of the biggest names in the beverages and food sector, have spotted an opportunity in the so-called ready to drink (RTD) sector and have together devised a plan to dominate a fragmented global market by reinventing coffee and tea. One would have thought Coca-Cola already sold enough cold, flavoured, brown liquid. But this is different; the plan is to capture what could be a massive consumer trend by creating branded offers around the existing concepts of iced tea and coffee. The potential for growth is huge. According to Mintel’s January 2002 Adult Soft Drinks report: ‘The category value of the global RTD market grew at a compound annual rate of over 6% from 1997 to 2002 (second only to bottled water) and is forecast…arrow_forward4.
