Improved ICT infrastructure in Ghana raises data penetration | Ghana 2018 | Oxford Busi... - 0 views

  • In 2017 MTN Ghana – the local subsidiary of the South African mobile operator, and the market leader – redefined what constitutes a subscriber, removing 3.4m inactive lines from its network in the first quarter of the year. However, in the same quarter the company gained more than 800,000 new active customers. The net effect was a drop of 2.5m in its subscriber base, leaving it with 16.9m voice subscribers, according to the NCA.
  • MTN Ghana holds the largest market share. As of April 2017 it had a 56.1% share of mobile data services and 46.9% of voice. It also held 59.7% of broadband wireless access through its 4G services.
  • The firm saw revenue growth of 19.8% in 2016 on the back of its strong performance in the data segment. According to the company’s financial results, data revenue increased by 66% and accounted for 42% of total revenue in 2016 on the back of the launch of a 4G network.

  • This led to a drop in the overall mobile penetration rate in Ghana. It fell from 139% in February 2017 to 127% at the end of April. However, the country has actually seen a slight increase in the number of customers. In 2016 monthly mobile subscription growth ranged from 0.22% to 1.51%, and in March 2017 the segment was growing at a rate of 0.57%. The sluggishness is a result of the fact that the voice segment is saturated, but there is still room for expansion and building revenues in data services. Data

  • Anlesinya et al (2014)16 examined whether corporate social responsibility has significant positive effect on the financial performance of MTN Ghana Limited. The study administered questionnaire on 35 management staff of MTN Ghana Limited, employed standard multiple regression and hierarchical multiple regression for the analysis. The research results showed that CSR at the aggregate level did not have significant positive effect on financial performance but community CSR has a positive while environmental CSR has negative effect on financial performance of MTN Ghana Limited. The study however has left key performance indicators of MTN Ghana unexplored lending support for a more comprehensive study in that regard. Vadiraj and Narahari (2014)1 attempted to develop a model that could predict the future trends of average revenue per user (ARPU) so that telecom service providers could formulate a strategy to increase their ARPU. The study using a multiple linear regression has been able to explain that subscriber base; number of operators and percentage of new users added periodically are the main determinants of average revenue per user (ARPU). Rahul and Xue (2012)17 attempted to examine the relationship between some selected factors and their contribution to the revenue of the Telecom industries in China and India. Using time series data collected from secondary sources from 2000 to 2010 on number of subscribers, technology innovation, and government regulation and policies, their granger causality test found no causality running from number of subscribers to the revenue of the telecom Industry in both China and India. They however found a causality running from technological innovation to the revenue of the Telecom Industries in both countries. Shmelev (2013)18 developed a model for calculating Telecom Company’s revenue and margin indicators. The study crafted the model for calculating the revenue of Telecom companies based on the Business Metric Framework (BMF) developed by the TeleManagement Forum, a global non-profit association for service providers in the Telecommunication sector. Examining the relationship between the two categories of KPIs in the BMF, the study concluded that it is possible to  create a function depending on the target KPIs lower levels, to calculate the final financial indicator at given rates and obtain a performance management  tool based on key performance indicators.

EasyEquities working on life insurance for its young clientele - 0 views

  • EasyEquities, one of SA's biggest online share-buying platforms, has set its sights on disrupting the traditional life insurance sector, with plans in the next 18 months to launch a new product aimed at its young customer base.Charles Savage, CEO of JSE-listed Purple Group, which owns 70% of EasyEquities, said the group realised there was a gap in the market after its annual customer survey found most of its subscribers were underinsured.
  •  
    I believe that this is a smart move from EasyEquities. The majority of brokers and investment platforms don't really care about the performance of their customers as long as those customers are making transactions. Offering an insurance product to its young customer base will increase its customer loyalty along with a new revenue stream.
