Hi, to start my project, i had gather information from web and found out as below:
Facebook had only disclosed whatsapp’s financial results for year 2013 and 2012. Does computing ratios based on 2 years sufficient?
I am confused whether the financial impact is on the acquirer or acquiree?
As the acquisition took place in 2014, i will not have any pre-acq financial results except for statistics on the annual user growth, monthly active user, usage ranking/mobile app ranking, and call/msg sent through whatsapp. Is this data valid for quantitative measure?
Part of the acquisition deal is for whatsapp to focus on growing users which does not contribute to Whatsapp’s revenue but for future synergies. And Whatsapp no longer charge subscription fees, so there is zero revenue contribute to Facebook. So does that mean ratios on revenue are not relevant?
For operational performance post-acq, Facebook acquisition had lead to numbers of improvements in Whatsapp’s features that give rise to the user growth.
There are several ways on how Facebook plans to monetize Whatsapp but those are not realized. Should i include the future forecast average revenue per user based on revenue opportunity?
Are balance scorecard and swot analysis appropriate business models?
Facebook has let Whatsapp to operate independently thus unlikely there is any culture crash.
Am i going to the right direction? Somehow i don’t think there are sufficient info on this acquisition. Do you think it is better to change the organisation?
Hi, was wondering if it’s possible to attempt this topic without relying on primary information? i had facebook and whatsapp merger in mind.
But when i inquire about this to my institute, the staff there said that only applicable internationally, for our country (Malaysia) i will had to take the specialist papers to proceed to ACCA. Is there such a rule or law?
