...TWITTER: IPO PAPER By: Jarmar Jackson 1. Identify the company and its industry. The name of the company I choose to do my IPO paper on is Twitter, Inc. (TWTR). Twitter is in the Technology/ Internet Information Provider industry. It is an online social networking website that allows users to send 140 character messages called “tweets”. The headquarters is located in San Francisco but it has more than 25 offices around the world. Twitter was launched by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass on July 15, 2006. The website handles nearly 1.6 billion searches a day and as of July 2014 it had more than 500 million users for the website. Jack Dorsey is the chairman and Dick Costolo is the CEO of the company. Some of Twitter’s biggest competitors are Facebook (FB), Google (GOOG), and LinkedIn (LNKD). Twitter currently has a market cap of 24.06 Billion while competitors Facebook and Google have market caps of 212.88 billion and 356.32 billion respectively. One article on ektron.com speaks of why Twitter is better than Facebook is that Twitter allows for user to follow complete strangers. While this sounds like something most people would defer from this gives Celebrities, Actors, Athletes, and even different businesses to stay close to their fans and customers. This also gives users to feeling of being close friends with celebrities while also sharing different pictures and other types of media. This differs from Facebook where it is suggested that you only...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Prefatory: The International Labour Organization (ILO) introduced the concept of the informal sector more than 25 years ago. The informal sector has been understood to mean very small-scale units producing and distributing goods and services, and consisting largely of independent, self-employed producers in urban and rural areas of developing countries, some of which also employ family labour and/or few hired workers or apprentices; which operates with very little capital or none at all; which utilize a low level of technology and skills; which therefore operates at a low level of productivity; and which generally provides very low and irregular income and highly unstable employment to those who work in it. It also includes activities that are carried out without formal approval from authorities and escape the administrative machinery responsible for enforcing legislation and similar instruments.

While the informal sector cannot offer jobs, it can offer income opportunities. In this sense, the informal sector is itself a safety net. Secondly, the informal sector cushions the impact of globalization on the surviving formal...
