Private Equity macht weniger Deals – sowohl in ganz Europa als auch in Deutschland. Das ist eine der Kernaussagen des „State of Private Equity Report Europe“, den EY Parthenon für das zweite Quartal 2025 erhoben hat. Das Marktsentiment hat sich allerdings dennoch leicht verbessert, erklärt das Beratungshaus. Wie das zusammenpasst und welche weiteren Ergebnisse die Analyse gebracht hat, darum geht es in diesem Spotlight.

Igor Mikhalev, Partner and Head of Emerging Technologies Strategy, EY-Parthenon, emphasizes that while AI has traditionally been used to optimize tasks like refining marketing messages or improving conversion strategies, its real potential lies in augmenting human creativity rather than replacing it. He advocates for a balance where AI supports experimentation and exploration, enabling teams to dream bigger and envision possibilities beyond what the raw data suggests. AI becomes an innovation partner, enhancing human ingenuity instead of constraining it.Listen to the full podcast now- https://bit.ly/41yIYPc#AI #HumanCreativity #Innovation #DataDriven #MarketingTech #IgorMikhalev #Outgrow"

Từ khi trở thành công xưởng của thế giới, hàng rẻ sản xuất tại Trung Quốc đã bóp chết một phần lớn mạng lưới công nghiệp châu Âu, nhiều nhà máy trên toàn nước Pháp phải đóng cửa, sa thải nhân viên. Bước kế tiếp để Trung Quốc « triệt hạ đối thủ cạnh tranh » phải chăng là nhắm tới các hệ thống phân phối vào các cửa hàng đủ mọi cấp ?  Đồ đắt và rẻ tiền cùng trong một cửa hàng Là một trong 5 nhãn hiệu quần áo « phổ biến nhất », được người Pháp ưa chuộng nhất, Shein chuẩn bị khai trương gian hàng đầu tiên ngay giữa lòng « kinh đô của ngành thời trang » Paris. Đầu tháng 11 tới đây, cửa hàng lớn và cũng là một trung tâm thương mại tiêu biểu nhất của Paris sẽ dành hẳn một tầng lầu với 1.200 mét vuông làm tủ kính trưng bày hàng bình dân, mang nhãn hiệu Shein của Trung Quốc. Giá trung bình một món hàng trong không gian trưng bày này là 9 euro. Để mở một gian hàng cố định đầu tiên, trực tiếp giao lưu với khách hàng, Shein đã chọn kinh đô của ngành thời trang thế giới. Tập đoàn Trung Quốc khởi nghiệp từ Quảng Châu này không chỉ còn là một nhà « phân phối trên mạng », với các dịch vụ mua bán trực tuyến, cũng không chỉ hài lòng với những chiến dịch tiếp thị gây chú với những cửa hàng « tạm hoạt động trong một thời gian cố định ». Lần này Shein nhắm tới cửa hàng BHV ngay giữa lòng Paris, cách không xa tòa thị chính của thành phố. Bước kế tiếp, Shein sẽ hiện diện luôn cả ở các cửa hàng của hệ thống Galeries Lafayette tại 5 thành phố (Dijon, Grenoble, Reims, Limoges và Angers). Tin hãng thời trang giá rẻ Trung Quốc Shein chen chân vào BHV gây chấn động và làm dấy lên nhiều tranh cãi. Được thành lập từ năm 1860 dưới tên gọi Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville – tức là cửa hàng Bách Hóa Khu Hotel de Ville, rồi được đổi tên thành BHV kể từ năm 2013, cửa hàng nổi tiếng này ở quận 4 Paris, từng là « thánh đường mua sắm » của cả một tầng lớp giàu có và trưởng giả. Giữa thế kỷ 19, BHV cũng như nhiều cửa hàng lớn khác của Pháp - Le Bon Marché, Printemps, Galeries Lafayette, La Samaritaine ... ưu tiên nhằm phục vụ những khách hàng khó tính với nhu cầu tiêu thụ có chọn lọc. Cõng rắn cắn gà nhà Vậy làm thế nào nhãn hiệu hàng may mặc « rẻ tiền » Trung Quốc lại chen chân được vào một cửa hàng lớn của Paris? Tạo chỗ đứng cho « hàng rẻ » Trung Quốc ngay giữa một kinh đô thời trang lâu đời nhất thế giới này thậm chí bị xem là một sự « xúc phạm ». Kèm theo đó là những câu hỏi liệu rằng hàng Trung Quốc có tuân thủ những chuẩn mực của Pháp và châu Âu về lao động và môi trường hay không ? Liệu rằng những « tượng đài mua sắm hạng sang, chuyên dành phân phối hàng có chất lượng » như các cửa hàng lớn của Pháp có đang « nối giáo cho giặc » sau khi đã giết chết các hãng may mặc, các nhà máy dệt may của Pháp giờ đây Trung Quốc bắt đầu tấn công luôn cả đến các hệ thống phân phối ? Trả lời báo Le Figaro, giám đốc điều hành Shein xem việc chọn nước Pháp là một « thông điệp mạnh mẽ », là một « bước đi tự nhiên » do Pháp là thị trường lớn nhất của Shein. Tại đây, theo cơ quan tư vấn EY-Parthenon, Shein đứng thứ tư trong số những nhãn hiệu được công chúng Pháp ưa thích. Riêng trong lĩnh vực may mặc thì đứng hạng 5 theo bảng xếp hạng của Viện nghiên cứu thời trang IFM. Hai hệ thống phân phối trên mạng của Trung Quốc là Shein và Temu cộng lại chiếm 16 % thị phần các dịch vụ trực tuyến trong ngành may mặc của toàn nước Pháp. Trả lời đài truyền hình Pháp France 5, Frédéric Merlin, chủ nhân và cũng là đồng sáng lập viên tập đoàn SGM hiện đang nắm giữ cửa hàng BHV Paris giải thích ý nghĩa của việc mở cửa BHV cho hàng rẻ Trung Quốc dưới nhãn hiệu Shein xuất phát từ ý đưởng muốn kết hợp những gì tốt đẹp nhất từ hai mô hình kinh doanh : « Chúng tôi đang làm thay đổi thể thức vận hành của Shein. Đương nhiên không thể là một giải pháp hoàn hảo nhưng chúng tôi đang tìm một hướng đi mới. Hiện tại khi mua bán, chúng ta hoặc là đến các cửa hàng, hoặc là giao dịch trên mạng và hàng được chuyển đến tận nhà. Với Shein hiện diện trong khuôn viên của cửa hàng BHV chúng tôi kết hợp giữa hai hình thức mua bán nói trên để thu hút khách hàng đến trung tâm của BHV : họ nhìn tận mắt, đánh giá chất lượng quần áo của Shein. Chúng ta có thể mua hàng tại chỗ, rồi tiếp theo là tin tưởng hơn vào nhãn hiệu này khi cần đặt mua trên mạng. Trong chiều ngược lại thì những người khách từ trước đến nay chỉ giao dịch với thương hiệu này qua mạng thì bây giờ họ sẽ tò mò hơn, tìm đến trung tâm của BHV … Chúng tôi hy vọng lượng khách lui tới các cửa hàng cao cấp của Pháp sẽ nhiều hơn. Cũng Frédéric Merlin giải thích tiếp là BHV muốn khai thác những lợi thế của đối tác Trung Quốc này : « Shein là một cỗ máy rất xuất sắc về tiếp thị, họ sử dụng thuật toán tìm kiếm rất tài tình để quảng cáo, để giới thiệu sản phẩm… Nhờ thế mà một khách hàng ở Rennes, miền tây nước Pháp sẽ dễ dàng mua được những mặt hàng thường chỉ có ở thành phố Dijon, mãi tận miền đông nước Pháp chẳng hạn. Nhờ vậy các cửa hàng không cần phải có các kho hàng quá lớn, bớt tốn kém ở khâu này ». Chuẩn mực lao động và môi trường : Shein khó trấn an công luận Thống kê của hiệp hội dệt may Pháp, mỗi năm Pháp mất đi 40.000 việc làm chỉ riêng trong ngành dệt may vì hàng rẻ Trung Quốc. Các nhà máy thi nhau đóng cửa. Thậm chí số khách lui tới các cửa hàng, các trung tâm thương mại cũng có phần vắng đi nhiều do bị các nền tảng mua bán trên mạng cạnh, do đang bị « hàng rẻ Trung Quốc nhận chìm ». Trước những cáo buộc hàng Trung Quốc không tuân thủ chuẩn mực quốc tế về lao động, bóc lột lao động cưỡng bức ở Tân Cương, là hàng không thân thiện với môi trường … và nhất là cạnh tranh bất bình đẳng với hàng Pháp, hàng châu Âu. Frédéric Merlin đưa ra câu trả lời không mấy thuyết phục : « Shein là một nền tảng giao dịch cho phép các nhà sản xuất tư nhân Trung Quốc bán trực tiếp những sản phẩm làm ra. Đồng thời nhãn hiệu này cũng có riêng những cơ sở may mặc của họ và chúng tôi chỉ tập trung vào hàng sản xuất từ các cơ sở của Shein mà thôi nhưng đó cũng là những xưởng may cung cấp quần áo cho các nhãn hiệu của Pháp … » Vẫn trên đài truyền hình France5, Frédéric Merlin tự hào khoe rằng, gian hàng Shein trong trung tâm thương mại BHV tập đoàn SGM ông điều hành sẽ cho phép tạo thêm khoảng 200 việc làm mỗi năm và không có chuyện vì hàng rẻ Trung Quốc cũng được phân phối trực tuyến mà khách hàng ở Pháp bớt lui tới các cửa hàng mua sắm. « Không phải ai cũng có điều kiện để mua hàng đắt tiền. Hơn nữa tôi tin vào những tính đa dạng trong cung cách mua sắm của khách hàng. Những người bước chân vào cửa hàng của BHV hoàn toàn có thể vừa mua quần áo của Shein, vừa mua những túi xách tay hay mua son phấn … » Có nhiều câu hỏi chung quanh mối hợp tác Vào lúc mọi chú ý đang đổ dồn về hợp tác giữa Shein và BHV cũng như với hệ thống cửa hàng Galeries Lafayette sắp tới đây, thì một tên tuổi khác của ngành may mặc của Pháp là Pimkie từ tháng 9/2025 đã chính thức bắt tay với tập đoàn Trung Quốc này. Pimkie là một hệ thống chuyên phân phối hàng may mặc được giới trẻ ưa thích nhưng đang thua lỗ mà một phần là do các hoạt động mua bán trực tuyến gây nên. Chuỗi cung cấp này liên kết với Shein để cùng « sản xuất và phân phối » qua mạng để đưa ra những « bộ sưu tậm thời trang riêng biệt ». Pimkie chờ đợi đến 2028 hợp tác với Shein sẽ cho phép thu về 100 triệu euro tương đương với 1/3 doanh thu hàng năm của tập đoàn Pháp. Đối với phía Trung Quốc, hợp tác với Pháp là kịch bản lý tưởng. Năm 2024 thặng dự mậu dịch của công xưởng sản xuất thế giới này là 1.000 tỷ đô la - tương đương với gần 1/3 GDP của Pháp. Trong 8 tháng đầu năm nay, kim ngạch xuất khẩu Trung Quốc sang châu Âu tăng hơn 20 %. Trong quá trình phát triển kinh tế, hơn 40 qua, Trung Quốc đã chen chân vào các lĩnh vực như công nghiệp xe hơi, giết chết các nhà máy luyện kim, các nhà máy hóa chất, các hãng dệt may … của Pháp. Cũng Trung Quốc đã trở thành những đối thủ đáng gờm nhất của Pháp nói riêng, Âu Mỹ nói chung trong những lĩnh vực công nghệ tiên tiến và trên thị trường High Tech, trong lĩnh vực chuyển đổi sang năng lượng … giờ đây đến lượt các hệ thống phân phối, các cửa hàng của Pháp trở thành những mục tiêu của tư bản Trung Quốc.

Marketing im Kopf - ein Podcast von Luis BinderIn dieser Folge wird über verschiedene Unternehmen gesprochen, da Markennamen genannt werden, handelt es sich um UNBEZAHLTE WERBUNG!In dieser Folge: In der heutigen Podcastfolge von Marketing im Kopf geht's um die vier Dimensionen beziehungsweise Marketingansätze im Dienstleistungsmarketing aus der Kombination von Endverbraucher und B2B und einer Kerndienstleistung oder Zusatzdienstleistung. Es geht darum, warum Kerndienstleistungen die Botschaft tragen müssen und Zusatzleistungen Zufriedenheit und Differenzierung treiben. Außerdem schauen wir auf den erweiterten Marketingmix mit Personal, Physical Facilities und Process und was das in der Praxis heißt.____________________________________________Marketing-News der Woche:Netflix-Werbung: Ab Q4 direkt über Amazon buchbarFür Mediaplaner in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz spannend: Ab Q4 lassen sich Netflix-Werbeflächen programmatisch über die Amazon DSP buchen. Das könnte Budgets Richtung Retail-/CTV-Ökosysteme von Amazon schieben, vereinfacht Frequency-Capping über Screens und hebt First-Party-Daten in die CTV-Planung. 74 % der Deutschen erreichst du über Sport Der „Sports Engagement Index 2025“ von EY-Parthenon zeigt: 74 % der Deutschen beschäftigen sich regelmäßig mit Sport. Neben Fußball wachsen Segmente wie Padel, E-Sports und Streaming-Events. Für Marketing-Teams ergibt sich ein klares Signal: weniger reines Sponsoring, mehr Community-Formate, Creator-Koops und Social-Media-Aktivierungen mit messbaren Conversion-Zielen. Wer Performance und Marke verzahnen will, plant Sport-Content als Always-on-Baustein im digitalen Marketing-Mix. Snapchat: Group Streaks & „Infinite Retention“ pushen EngagementSnapchat führt Group Streaks und „Infinite Retention“ ein und treibt damit Aktivität in Chats weiter nach oben. Für Social-Media-Strategien im DACH-Raum ist das relevant, weil Gen Z hier besonders stark vertreten ist. Marken sollten Kurzvideo-Formate und AR-Lenses als Performance-Hebel testen, UGC gezielt triggern und Snaps in Always-on-Journeys integrieren (Retargeting, Promo-Codes, Store-Visits). Antoni startet „antoni_hotline“ für schnelle Kampagnen-SprintsAnstatt nur großer Retainer setzt Antoni mit „antoni_hotline“ auf schlanke, kurzfristig buchbare Sprints. Für Marketing-Verantwortliche kann das Time-to-Market senken und Tests von Creator-Kampagnen, Social-Video oder Retail-Media-Assets beschleunigen, ohne langfristige Bindung. Heißt für euch: Briefings modularisieren, KPIs klar definieren, Assets datengetrieben iterieren. So entstehen Kampagnen, die messbar wirken und sich nahtlos in digitale Werbung und Social-Media-Kanäle einfügen. ____________________________________________Vernetz dich gerne auf LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/luisbinder/⁠ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marketingimkopf/Du hast Fragen, Anregungen oder Ideen?

“I like to think about ESG not only as a risk management tool, but also as an opportunity. I think the, the flip side of risk is opportunity. So if we think that a diverse team is what will bring more innovation, more ideas, more, let's say different ways of looking at needs and products, then this is an opportunity….What about if we think about the way that people consume, what is the carbon footprint that we have?.... And how do you reduce it? Or maybe build technology that helps reduce your impact on the planet, or helps you reduce the amount of AI or cloud usage that you use? So I, I think that looking at ESG as a risk and, and as an opportunity tool is actually very good.” Cecile Blilious on Electric Ladies Podcast   In 2025 so far, 2.3% of venture capital funding went to companies founded by women, 2.3%. So that means 97.7% of the funding went to men. The percents have been in the same range for decades. Seriously. Think of all the innovations that are not getting funded due to this ridiculous bias. What can we do about it? Listen to Cecile Blilious of Venture ESG and European Women in VC explain new financing models that could work to fund more innovative businesses, especially those founded by women – in this enlightening conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        What venture capital really is and how it works. How male and female VCs differ. ●        Insights into ESG investing that address both the risks and the opportunities – reframing both ●        New financing models we need and that they might look like. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   “I think being clear about your values is very important. Where would you work and where wouldn't you?... Let's focus on one or two that are the most important things that are like showstoppers... Then in mid-career, what I see happen many times with women is that women don't apply to jobs…but if you don't apply, you're not even considered. So my advice would be, look at the next job that you'd like to have in your career path, and if you think that you're 50% qualified for it, apply because you are grow into the role” Cecile Blilious on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.   You'll also like: ·       Unlocking Capital For Women And Climate Solutions – Women Leaders In Finance And Investment, The Earth Day Women's Summit ·       The SEC Climate Risk Disclosure Rules – Tara Giunta, Global Co-Chair of ESG & Sustainable Finance Practice at Paul Hastings law firm ·       Climate as a Geopolitical Security Emergency, with Svitlana Krakovska, Ph.D. and Mirian Villela, head of Earth Charter, a UN-founded organization and the Center for Education for Sustainable Development. ·       The Hidden Power of ESG – with Natalie Jaresko, Managing Director, EY Parthenon, former Finance Minister of Ukraine Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.

Private equity is at a turning point in 2025, and investors are watching closely. Globally, deal value has jumped 19% in the first half, signaling renewed momentum. Here in Southeast Asia, while fundraising has slowed, opportunities are shifting toward resilient sectors like tech, healthcare, and renewables. So what can we expect in the next 6–12 months for Singapore and the region? Which Southeast Asian markets are set to attract more activity in H2 2025 and into 2026—and what will drive that momentum? Luke Pais, Asia-Pacific Private Equity Leader at EY-Parthenon, shares the outlook, hosted by Michelle Martin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cannes was heaving with influencers striking deals, but the message from top marketers, academics and consulting firms was consistent: Go back to fundamentals on brand, embed brand at the heart of business, then execute with consistent creative excellence to drive outsized financial returns.Mark Ritson landed that message most emphatically via 10 years worth of Effie data analysed by System1. In short: Do really good work, put enough money behind it, don’t change it; grow more.CEOs like Gap Inc’s Richard Dickson are codifying brand to drive business decision-making – and it’s working. Other business leaders remain unconvinced. Hence EY Parthenon’s Karen Crum putting brand and creative investment on the corporate risk register, just like plant, equipment and supply chains. She’s mapped 20 years worth of Fortune 500 filings that show brands looking beyond negative brand risk and investing to maintain brand relevance and value are “more profitable and stayed in the Fortune 500 longer”. Crum’s new paper unpacks how marketers can help articulate that risk in language that will land with the C-suite.Tassal Chief Commercial Officer Matt Vince – also the firm’s Chief Risk Officer –said it maintains corporate risk registers for both brand and marketing after 20-years as an ASX-listed business prior to acquisition by Canada’s Cooke Inc. Crum’s paper, he says, resonates deeply, while Tassal’s rigour in building brand –doubling marketing ROI on a flat budget – has seen Cooke’s global CEO fly into town: “The opportunity for us is to start leading [marketing] from a global perspective.” Next, he’s mulling how to embed a creative measurement system, as cited at Cannes by the likes of Nestlé as key to enabling creative growth gains and Grand Prix wins. But Vince is also thinking about influencers after meeting Seal at a TikTok event – and says TikTok “has some amazing things coming in their pipeline”.Amid divergence on whether marketing’s fundamentals still apply within a platform-dominated world, Suncorp’s Mim Haysom backed the call to return to basics on distinctive assets – because they resonate in all channels. “We can get obsessed about single channels. But nobody builds brand and marketing plans like that. You look at the whole ecosystem of your brand.”But Haysom acknowledged influencers are having a “profound impact” within that ecosystem. “If brands are thinking that it's a flash in the pan they're greatly mistaken.” Which means working through another set of risk management: relinquishing full control of content.Here’s their take-outs and take-homes from Cannes 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Guns n Roses shredding in Mumbai to Coldplay slaying it in Ahmedabad, India is grooving to a new and potentially massive business. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury speaks with Raghav Anand, Partner at EY-Parthenon, and Naman Pugalia, Chief Business Officer at BookMyShow, to decode India’s live entertainment boom. With global icons like Travis Scott, Dua Lipa, and Imagine Dragons lighting up Indian stages, the conversation explores the forces behind the concert economy’s 25% annual growth, rising disposable incomes, Gen Z’s craving for experience-first entertainment, and the digital ease of access fueling demand. What happens when 86% of a concert’s audience flies in from outside the host city? The episode unpacks the ripple effects from hotel bookings and ride-hailing surges to a redefined urban economy. But in a country where infrastructure still lags ambition, the spotlight shifts to BookMyShow’s transformation from ticketing platform to ecosystem builder through innovations in production, venue retrofitting, and audience readiness. As India eyes its own Coachella moment, the question remains: can the nation’s stages keep up with its global-sized fanbase?

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the Round 3 activity on LiveWire; interview invites and final decisions continue to roll out for this shortened application round; next week Chicago / Booth and Imperial Business School are scheduled to release final decisions. Graham noted the Clear Admit promotion, where for every new entry we receive on DecisionWire, that maps out a candidate's entire application journey, Clear Admit will donate $10 to the Forte Foundation. Graham highlighted the remainder of Application Overview events series that will be hosted this week on Tuesday (Berkeley / Haas, UVA / Darden, Washington / Foster, UNC / Kenan Flagler, and Georgia Tech / Scheller) and Wednesday (Columbia, Stanford, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM, and Texas / Austin). Signups for those events are here: https://bit.ly/appoverview25 Graham also mentioned an event on Thursday for London Business School's One Year MBA program. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/lbs1year Graham noted a deep-dive analysis article on MBA tech career placements for the most recent graduating classes. Not surprisingly, Big Tech placement has dropped off at most top MBA programs. Graham highlighted two Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from Duke / Fuqua working at EY-Parthenon, and UCLA / Anderson working at Google. Finally, Graham noted the recently recorded podcast featuring the leader of career services at Georgetown / McDonough, talking about the triple jump - changing industries, functions and geographies. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate works in investment banking and is from Ghana. They have a 325 GRE score. This week's second MBA candidate is from Argentina and appears to have a very interesting profile, but their GRE score of 309 is going to be an issue. They plan to retake. We also think they should reconsider their school targeting. The final MBA candidate is deciding between Chicago / Booth and Michigan / Ross, with scholarship. This episode was recorded in Boston, USA and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Our guest on this week's episode is Brian Lynch, EY Americas Transportation Sector Leader and an Executive Director in the Transaction Strategy and Execution practice at EY-Parthenon. With the ratification earlier this week of the new 6-year agreement between dock workers and ports on the East and Gulf Coasts, it seems like we will have some labor peace that will last a while. Our guest discusses what that bit of certainty means to both shippers and carriers. Mobile robots in the warehouse—such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), goods-to-person systems, and automated storage and retrieval systems—have now been accepted as mature technologies. Susan Lacefield, executive editor of Supply Chain Xchange, joins us to talk about the industry acceptance of these technologies and to preview the latest issue of SCX that focuses on robotics and automation.Supply chains are among those industries where workers face a higher level of risk of injury, according to new research released by manufacturer Kuru. The study analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to identify where supply chain jobs rank among jobs from other industries for the potential for on-the-job injuries.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A series of ten episodes is now available on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean. It also looks at inventory management, 3PLs and more.  All ten episodes are available to stream now. Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

Peter advises sectors like automotive and healthcare on optimizing cash management, contributing to over $25 billion in value for clients. He frequently writes for business publications and speaks at industry events.

By Tom Loozen (Senior Partner, Telecommunications), Adrian Baschnonga (EY Global TMT Lead Analyst), and Sören Grabowski (EY-Parthenon Global TMT Leader) To thrive in the future, telcos must seek differentiators beyond network quality and adapt to changing ecosystems and market structures. In brief The growth outlook for telcos is solid but unspectacular, based on core connectivity and continuing cost management allied to reliance on network quality. Industry leaders foresee pervasive changes to the sector in five years' time, which today's defensive strategies are not equipped to address. Rethinking business models and differentiators, and building new employee propositions and ecosystem positions, are vital for success on the road to 2030. Telcos have reached an inflection point in their evolution. They are ever more focused on core connectivity and continue to drive new waves of organizational efficiency with the help of emerging technologies. However, industry ecosystems, stakeholder expectations and workforce needs are developing in new directions at pace. In this light, defensive strategies based on network quality and cost optimization may fall short of the more substantial transformation telcos need to achieve. EY interviewed more than 60 C-suite executives from over 50 telecoms operators to understand their views about organizational priorities alongside the current and future state of the sector. In this article, we explore insights emerging from our research, underlining the dichotomy that exists between defensive near-term strategies and more radical future sector dynamics, and recommending key actions that telcos can take to ensure they remain fit for the future. About the research Between September 2023 and February 2024, EY-Parthenon conducted face-to-face surveys of 63 senior business leaders in the telecommunications sector to understand their business imperatives. The questionnaire explored a number of themes, such as the industry operating environment, strategy North Stars, near-term business priorities and the telco world five years from now. Respondents represented 29 countries — including 75% from Europe, 8% from Americas, 9% from Asia-Pacific, and 8% from Middle East and Africa — and featured a range of leadership roles, led by CEOs (32%) and chief strategy or transformation officers (21%). To participate in the survey, respondents were required to be leaders of a telco business function or unit. Traditional growth drivers underpin a solid performance outlook Survey respondents have a largely positive view of sector growth: more than half foresee sector revenues and EBITDA growing by 3% or more over the next three years. They are also confident of their own performance relative to their peers, with three quarters expecting to outperform the market over the same period. Inflationary pricing escalators built into consumer subscriptions have been supportive in some markets, indicative of wider resilience where customer spending has held up well in spite of the cost-of-living crisis, as highlighted in the EY Decoding the digital home study. Looking ahead, two key drivers of profitable growth as cited by the management are: growth in the core connectivity business (67%) and margin development through additional cost reductions and efficiencies (60%). These twin forces score well ahead of adjacent market services or more innovative business models, with only one in three respondents highlighting growth beyond the core business or growth in platform, ecosystem or as-a-service business. That said, there are regional nuances at play: Asia-Pacific telcos are much more receptive to growth via platforms or ecosystems, cited four out of six telco leaders in the region. Telco market growth outlook This chart shows survey respondents' expectations of telecoms market development in their own footprint in the next three years.

https://youtu.be/6pt4XOIZa7Y Peter Kingma, Head of Working Capital Practice at EY Parthenon Americas, is driven by his curiosity and passion for solving problems to help leading companies crown their cash and master cash management. In "Cash is King," he emphasizes how effective cash flow management, distinct from revenue generation, is vital for sustained business growth and resilience. We discuss his framework for converting revenue into cash: Collect Receivables Faster to boost liquidity and reduce dependency on credit, Pay Customers Slower to optimize cash utilization, and Accelerate Inventory Turns to minimize holding costs and enhance operational efficiency. These strategies not only streamline financial processes but also fortify businesses against market uncertainties, ensuring robust financial health and agility. --- Crown Your Cash with Peter Kingma Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast and my guest today is Peter Kingma, the head of the Working Capital Practice for EY Parthenon in the Americas and author of Cash is King: Mastering Cash Flow Management with Peter Kingma. Peter, welcome to the show. Thank you, glad to be here. Yeah, well, I'm glad you're here because actually, believe it or not, we are well into over 200 episodes, but we never actually addressed the king, which is cash, which is a big omission, I realize, and now we're going to make up for it. So, before we jump in on that, I'd like to ask you, what is your personal Why? What is it that gets you out of bed every morning? I'm curious, Steve. That's my personal Why. I love to solve problems. Some might say that's because I have a short attention span that I like to go from problem to problem, but I love to solve problems. And the past 30 years of my professional career, I've been helping companies. Now, we'll talk about small businesses in this discussion, but admittedly big businesses for me, on a day-to-day basis, but helping them deal with cash and liquidity. And what I love, Steve, about what I do is I can measure the results. So I can see at the end of the day, I can see the benefits. And I'm very proud of the fact that my work helps some very iconic companies stay in business. And so there are people that are employed today because of decisions that they've made. And, yeah, that's my why. I love solving problems. And I like sort of tackling big questions. Okay. Well, let's tackle the biggest question of all is why revenue is not the same as cash. Yeah, let's start at the beginning. So, I think in business we understand revenue and profit fairly well, but we don't always understand the difference between that and cash. So if you think about revenue, let's say we sell something, but if we haven't gotten paid for it, and we don't have, so to speak, the cash in our pocket, then we don't have the ability to pay our bills. And so, Steve, if you will, let me take you back in time to when I was just out of college and kind of a silly example of this, but I think that it kind of grounds itself really well. When I was just out of college, I was living paycheck to paycheck. And fortunately, my employer paid me on the 1st and the 15th of every month. So, I knew when I was going to get paid. And fortunately, my landlord didn't come knocking on my door random days of the month asking for rent, I knew when that was when my bills were due as well. So even if I had, even if they gave me, you know, a little bit more money or a little bit less in any given month, I had to say I knew exactly when the revenue was coming in, when the cash was coming in, and when my bills were to be paid. So, I think in many ways, we understand that in our household economics, but then we get into business and sometimes I think we get confused because we start to confuse and chase revenue and revenue alone and forget that it's the cash that pays the bills. It's the cash that you use to buy new equipment to invest.

Mit dem Vorschlag für die MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets)-Verordnung ebnet die Europäische Union den Weg, um die EU zu einem attraktiven Markt für Krypto-Asset-Dienstleister (Crypto Asset Service Providers, CASPS) für globale Geschäfte zu machen. Die MiCA hat daher zum Ziel, den Krypto-Asset-Markt zu regulieren und zu überwachen. Nachdem sie 2020 auf den Weg gebracht wurde und der endgültige Rechtsakt im Mai 2023 unterzeichnet wurde, tritt die MiCA ab Dezember 2024 in Kraft. Um einen detaillierteren Blick auf die Bedeutung dieses neuen Rechtsrahmens zu werfen und die MiCA bezüglich der Offenlegung von Nachhaltigkeit besser zu verstehen, hat ein Team um Christopher Schmitz, Peter Fricke, Andreas Wittkop und Anna Lange kürzlich in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute ein gemeinsames Paper zum Thema "Implications of Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) for sustainability disclosure" veröffentlicht. Was sollten CASPs und Token-Emittenten jetzt wissen? Wie wird sich die MiCA künftig auf den Kryptomarkt auswirken? Welche Herausforderungen stellen sich für Finanzinstitute bei der Erfassung von Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren? Wir diskutieren diese und weitere spannende Fragen mit Lena Klaaßen, Co-Founder und COO des CCRI - Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute, Dr. Martin Wagener, Head of Group Regulatory and Governmental Affairs und Group Sustainability Officer der Boerse Stuttgart Group und Dozent am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, sowie mit unserem Kollegen Andreas Wittkop, Manager Strategy & Transactions bei EY-Parthenon.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the MBA application deadlines and decision notifications for this season. Interview invites for Round 2 are now coming to an end as schools have shifted into handing out admissions decisions. Speaking of which, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM, Harvard, London Business School, Stanford, Northwestern / Kellogg, and Washington / Foster are releasing their final Round 2 results next week.  Best of luck to everyone awaiting word! Graham highlighted the new Spring survey that Clear Admit is running, to get a better sense of how MBA candidates select their target programs. Answering this survey really helps Clear Admit better understand the MBA community, and provides great insights for top MBA programs. The survey is here: https://bit.ly/caspringsurvey Graham then mentioned a Clear Admit event, with CMU / Tepper, which focuses on the MBA for non-traditional candidates. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/nontradMBA Graham also shared tidbits from four Real Humans Alumni pieces: alums from Harvard, working at PepsiCo, Stanford working at Uber, Berkeley / Haas working at Nike and Yale SOM working at EY-Parthenon. Finally we discussed the first in Clear Admit's series of post-MBA career reports. This one focuses on finance careers, and shows quite clearly which are the best MBA programs for buy-side finance roles, as well as for roles in investment banking. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry. This week's first MBA admissions candidate has very respectable numbers, with a 730 GMAT and 3.54 GPA. They began their career in oil and gas, and more recently are working in the area of carbon capture. They are really targeting the very top programs, which we think they have a realistic chance to attain. This week's second MBA candidate has an outstanding profile, all around. They have a fantastic GPA, complemented by a 730 GMAT. They have very decent work experience, with progressive roles, and their additional volunteer activities look good, too. We recommend they stick to one post-MBA short term goal, while targeting the very best MBA programs and considering geography as well. The final MBA candidate for this week is deciding between Dartmouth / Tuck, Duke / Fuqua and UVA / Darden. They have a very good scholarship offer from Fuqua, which may tip the balance in their favor. They are still waiting to hear back from Northwestern / Kellogg. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!
