In this lively and engaging presentation, Collin Croome takes the audience on a journey into the world of the four major internet companies: Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. Through numerous vivid examples, participants gain a clear and compelling understanding of the significant role these so-called GAFAs play today and how seamlessly they have integrated into professional and personal lives.
Contents and statements from the presentation:
These four tech giants dominate the global digital economy and are pushing into more and more industries and areas of life. We all use their operating systems, apps, and services daily. We consciously or unconsciously allow Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon to participate in our lives and businesses, and we “pay” for this with our personal data. Why? Because it is easy, convenient, and fast.
As an entrepreneur, it is necessary to know and use the rules of the game of the GAFAs – because they take over the interfaces to the customer and thus become, in effect, the gatekeeper.
To be visible to customers, companies need to know their platforms and services, use them, and act according to their rules.
If companies want to reach their target group with as little wastage as possible, they use their gigantic advertising networks and targeting tools.
Incidentally, Apple, Google, and Amazon have redefined customer service and user experience. Every company and every service must now measure itself against them.
With their gigantic market capitalization of over $6 trillion, the GAFA companies have virtually unlimited resources. They employ the brightest minds, have the largest research budgets, and the greatest reach. At the same time, they possess an unfathomable amount of data and the AI technologies to draw relevant conclusions from it. They know who we are, what we do, whom we communicate with, what we watch, what we like, and what we buy.
