Digital redefinition of banking banking transformationDraup
The increase in the number of digital use cases in the banking and financial services industry has led to the emergence of newer digital hotspots in the US. States such as Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas, and California have a high density of mature talent specializing in these digital cases. These digital use cases have also given rise to new hotspots in neighbouring states such as Iowa, Arizona, and Ohio. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan Chase have capitalized on this rapid digitalization to create solutions in anti-money laundering, digital wealth management, information security, cloud technology.
Analysing the Digital Maturity of Top US Banks
The digital maturity of banks and financial institutions has been measured by their competency in innovation which includes their competitive intensity and growth potential and assessing their capabilities in terms of talent scalability and maturity of skills in new age technologies. By these parameters, firms such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, and Capital One have identified as digital leaders while Union Bank, First Republic Bank, HSBC US have been relatively slower in the digital race.
Case-by-Case Analysis of Banking Transformation
Bank of America:
Bank of America has over 14 digital centres with over 76% of the digital talent based out of centres located in the US. The 4,000+ digital workforce is involved in functions such as app development, analytics, security, and cloud. Bank of America is one of the few leading banks looking to increase the digital capabilities of all its bank branches through interactive systems that need very little human intervention. Some branches are also fully automated equipped with an interactive teller machine and a video conferencing room.
Citi Group:
Citi is taking cues from its innovation labs that are involved in developing cutting-edge solutions such as beacons. The firm’s 3,500+ digital talent pool is predominantly based out of North America. The bank’s smart branches are equipped with interactive media walls that display local weather, stock information, and financial updates. Citi announced their partnership with Nasdaq which was formed to create payment systems that use DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) to record payments.
Wells Fargo:
The firm’s large 7,500+ digital workforce is largely consolidated in the United States with sporadic distribution in India as well. The firm has 15 digital centres with only 2 of them located outside the US i.e. in Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. Over 28% of digital talent is involved in new-age solutions such as RPA, Blockchain, IoT and AI.
In this session, we’ll review some of the mechanisms and best practices that enable innovation at Amazon, and discuss how they apply to startups. Get insight on how we structure our teams for autonomy and speed to ensure we're meeting the needs of the customer — a process we call Working Backwards. The goal? To drive simplicity through a continuous, explicit customer focus. We'll talk about how startups can apply the Working Backwards framework to develop a minimum set of technology requirements that satisfy market demand as well as the direction of your business.

“Digital transformation” has been a part of our lexicon for nearly six years. Yet, there’s hardly consensus on what it means. Maybe it’s time to recognize it served its purpose to galvanize business leaders around a needed change in their business to become more digital. But now, it may be holding CEOs back from fulfilling the potential of their digital agenda through a much wider and needed enterprise transformation.
Using the definition
AS ALIGNED TO WHERE CHANGE CAN BE MOST AFFECTED: DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IS… the re-alignment of, or new investment in – process, technology and
business models to more effectively engage Digital Consumers at every touchpoint
in the customer experience lifecycle.
The starting point is to frame the discussion.

This presentation gives you the basic idea about surround system. Various aspects to be considered while designing surround system and it's various formats.
Home Theater: Surround Sound Formats teaches you about the many standards employed by TV and movie producers to encode the audio in the shows and films you watch. Your home theater equipment--AV receivers and Blu-ray players--then decode the audio to give you the effect you want.
Tired of boring two-channel stereo? Apply a matrixed surround sound format like Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 and use *all* of your speakers!

While the streaming media market is rapidly evolving
throughout the world, China is clearly leading the way in
OTT deployment. With over 738 Million internet users[1],
China heads the world. (Compare this to the United States
with fewer than 300 Million users.)[2] Internet penetration
in China is growing very quickly – from a mere 16 percent
in 2007 to over 55 percent in 2015. The explosive growth in
Internet users has subsequently spawned a tremendous
demand for OTT video. An estimated 229 Chinese people
will watch video via an OTT streaming subscription in
2018. [3] Fueled by such demand, China is putting OTT into
practice faster than any other geography.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Positioning Analysis
§ Global shift towards digital television
standards will drive broadcasting licensing
growth
§ Strong relationship with its content
creators
• Increasing number of films using Dolby
Atmos and Dolby Vision technologies
§ Face exposure to adverse movements in
currency exchange rates
• 67% of revenue comes from international
operations
§ No binding contract on the content
creators to use Dolby
§ Unrealized licensing revenue due to weak
intellectual property protection
§ Lack of diversification among business
segments
• Heavily reliant on licensing segment
§ Ability of smart TV platforms to support
Dolby Atmos
§ The Wanda Cinema Line has committed
to install Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision
in over 200 theatres across the U.S. and
China in the next 5 years
§ 4,200 pending patents as they transition
from Dolby Digital to next generation

15. Final Thoughts
§ Further expansion of partnerships with
cinemas and content creators
Market has priced in existence of current
partnerships,but not the expansion opportunity
Partnership Expansion
Recommendation
Valuation Range
§ Chinese revenue growth stemming from
planned partnerships and improving IP
standards
Unrealistic fear of intellectual property theft by Chinese
electronic manufacturers
Continued Chinese Market Penetration
§ Expanding product lines becoming the
industry standard in television and cinema
technologies
Market has yet to realize the revenue impact of
Dolby’s role in the standardization of 4KTVs
Next Generation Product Lines
