China's Smart Cities Offer $153 Billion Opportunity - Marketwatch

BOSTON, Mar 20, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- China’s build-out of “smart cities” is significantly smaller than suggested by the hype, but still represents a $153 billion opportunity across 54 projects, mostly in the southern and eastern provinces, according to a Lux Research report. Among the 54 “real” projects, 35 are scoped at city level -- in some of the country’s largest and most crowded cities, including Beijing and Shanghai -- and account for $76.2 billion, nearly half the total investment. Seventeen projects are at the sub-city level and two at the city cluster level.

“The big winners from this investment activity in the next five years will be telecommunications providers and infrastructure suppliers with the best market channels in the Yangtze Delta and Pearl Delta,” said Jerrold Wang Lux Research Analyst and one of the lead authors of the report titled, “Intelligent Navigation of China's Smart Cities.”

“For prospective foreign participants in China’s smart city growth, opportunities still exist,” added Zhuo Zhang, another lead author. “However, care is needed to navigate China’s increasing sensitivity about information security while still leveraging the ability to introduce advanced technologies and systems integration experience.”

Lux researchers assessed real on-the- ground realities through a detailed project-by-project analysis, supplemented by extensive interviews with government officials, state-owned enterprises, academics, and technology providers. Among their conclusions:

-- Telecom will be the biggest beneficiary. The bulk of the spending on smart cities will be on telecommunications because of the need to build robust infrastructure to support the proliferation of data transmission. From 2011 to 2015, Lux Research estimates the investment on data transmission at $96 billion, or more than 60% of the total investment.

-- Sub-city projects have the most reliable stakeholders. City cluster projects have the highest average project investment but are hindered by the weak ability of lower tier cities to manage large projects. In contrast, sub-city projects are, on average, more investment intensive because of the leading cities’ higher GDP and the resulting stronger ability to make large investments.

-- Foreign companies’ future unclear. Foreign IT companies like Ericsson, IBM and Cisco have enjoyed early access to China’s market but their future is cloudy due to expected Chinese demand for reciprocity and government concerns about information security. There is no definitive threshold that could preclude foreign companies but the barriers will get higher with the rise of the big three telecoms and entities such as CASIC, Digital China and State Grid.

“Intelligent Navigation of China's Smart Cities” is part of the Lux China Innovation Intelligence service. For more information on how Lux Research can help your organization make strategic technology decisions, see www.luxresearchinc.com .

Continental Sees Further Opportunities From GM, Peugeot Deal - Smart Money

FRANKFURT -(Dow Jones)- Auto-parts supplier Continental AG (CON.XE) sees additional business opportunities stemming from the alliance of General Motors Co. (GM) and French auto maker PSA Peugeot Citroen (PEUGY, UG.FR), Chief Executive Elmar Degenhart said Thursday.

If GM and PSA were to share more components, there will be additional business opportunities for Continental, Degenhart said. However, as the two car makers are planning to bundle their procurement processes with the goal to lower purchase prices, this could hurt car-part suppliers like Continental, Degenhart added.

On Wednesday, General Motors said it would acquire a 7% stake in PSA Peugeot as part of a broad alliance that each hopes will generate multi-million-dollar cost savings at their struggling European car operations. The alliance will include the sharing of vehicle architectures, components and the creation of a global procurement joint venture.

Degenhart declined to say how much business Continental has with each of the two car makers individually, but did say PSA Peugeot is among its ten largest customers.

New Tool from Get Smart Content Allows Marketers to Easily Identify Website Optimization Opportunities - Marketwatch

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan 24, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Get Smart Content today launched the 30-Second Opportunity Report, a free tool that allows marketers to easily identify the biggest opportunities for improving their website's performance by examining their underperforming audience segments.

In 30 seconds or less, the tool utilizes Google Analytics data to provide a comprehensive report that:

-- Measures how a website's different audience segments are performing

-- Quantifies and ranks the different segments based on size of the opportunity

-- Provides a starting point for anyone interested in increasing engagement on their website

The 30-Second Opportunity Report divides audience segments into five different types, including mobile visitors, number of visits to the site, geo-location, referring sites, and referring keywords by looking at the last six months of traffic to the site.

The full report provides marketers with their top 25 opportunities for improving their digital marketing efforts. For each of these opportunities, the report provides a snapshot of how that audience segment is currently performing against their Google Analytics conversion goals and site bounce rate.

"Knowing your different audiences and marketing to them differently is key to success," said Jim Eustace, Founder and Chairman of Get Smart Content. "The 30-Second Opportunity Report makes it easy for marketers to turn their website analytics into valuable consumer insight they can use to better target and engage different audience segments."

Is your site missing the chance to connect with a large group of site visitors? Visit the 30-Second Opportunity Report, and see which audiences you can more effectively convert into leads and customers.
