Download or read book The Impact of Targeting Technology on Advertising Markets and Media Competition written by Susan Athey and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of targeting technology on competition between local and general outlets. In the absence of targeting (say, of location), local outlets have an advantage in that there is a tighter match between readers and local consumers that advertisers wish to attract. Targeting restores that advantage to general outlet increasing its demand for advertising but also allows it to more efficiently allocate scarce advertising space. In a baseline case, we demonstrate that such space is the critical constraint and if it can be easily expanded then the adoption of targeting has no impact on profits or competition. We then analyze three extensions of the model in which targeting does benefit general outlets: advertising space is limited or costly; there is heterogeneity across local media markets; or advertisers are capacity-constrained (creating competition between outlets on the advertising-side of the industry). Even in these cases, however, the impact of targeting is mitigated by the fact that when targeting is introduced, it is optimal for outlets to cut back on their supply of ad space.

Download or read book Privacy Challenges in Online Targeted Advertising written by Minh-Dung Tran and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern online advertising, advertisers tend to track Internet users' activities and use these tracking data to personalize ads. Even though this practice - known as extit{targeted advertising} - brings economic benefits to advertising companies, it raises serious concerns about potential abuses of users' sensitive data. While such privacy violations, if performed by trackers, are subject to be regulated by laws and audited by privacy watchdogs, the consequences of data leakage from these trackers to other entities are much more difficult to detect and control. Protecting user privacy is not easy since preventing tracking undermines the benefits of targeted advertising and consequently impedes the growth of free content and services on the Internet, which are mainly fostered by advertising revenue. While short-term measures, such as detecting and fixing privacy leakages in current systems, are necessary, there needs to be a long-term approach, such as privacy-by-design ad model, to protect user privacy by prevention rather than cure. In the first part of this thesis, we study several vulnerabilities in current advertising systems that leak user data from advertising companies to external entities. First, since targeted ads are personalized to each user, we present an attack exploiting these ads on the fly to infer user private information that have been used to select ads. Second, we investigate common ad exchange protocols, which allow companies to cooperate in serving ads to users, and show that advertising companies are leaking user private information, such as web browsing history, to multiple parties participating in the protocols. These web browsing histories are given to these entities at surprisingly low prices, reflecting the fact that user privacy is extremely underestimated by the advertising industry.In the second part of the thesis, we propose a privacy-by-design targeted advertising model which allows personalizing ads to users without the necessity of tracking. This model is specifically aimed for the two newly emerging ad technologies - retargeting advertising and ad exchange. We show that this model provides strong protection for user privacy while still ensuring ad targeting performance and being practically deployable.

Download or read book Study on the Impact of Recent Developments in Digital Advertising on Privacy Publishers and Advertisers written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first online banner ad was placed in 1994, the digital advertising ecosystem has been significantly transformed as the size of the global industry has grown. Digital is the largest advertising channel in the European Economic Area (EEA), generating more revenue than all other advertising channels combined. Digital advertising is often seen as an important, if not essential, way of funding online content without requiring payment from individuals. In principle, advertising has always been 'targeted' to some extent, in the sense that marketers make rational decisions on segmenting and targeting before purchasing ad space. However, only recently has targeted advertising become associated with pervasive digital tracking and with 'creepy' or persistent ads over which individuals feel they have no control. Over the past 10-15 years, search advertising and social media advertising channels, where large platforms play key roles, have grown at an extremely rapid rate compared to the channel which directs the most advertising revenue towards publishers ("other" display). Some large platforms can generate advertising revenue both as a publisher (by selling ad inventory on the platforms and services they own) and as an intermediary (by providing advertising technology services to advertisers and other publishers). The combined revenue of the largest European publishers has stagnated over the past ten years, while Alphabet (Google) and Meta's revenues increased by more than 500% during the same period. The evidence in this study indicates that this is due to lack of transparency and large and growing imbalances in bargaining power, not due to existing or proposed rules on privacy and data protection.

Download or read book Technology Application in Tourism in Asia written by Azizul Hassan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book very specifically focuses on technology application in tourism in Asia. The book contains twenty-seven chapters in four sections (i.e., theories, innovations, practices, and future research directions), based on the intriguing qualities and importance of technology applications in the Asian tourism business. This book, a blend of comprehensive and extensive efforts by the contributors and editor, is designed to extensively cover technology applications in tourism in Asia, including distinct topics such as mobile computing, new product designs, innovative technology usages in tourism promotion, technology-driven sustainable tourism development, location-based apps, mobility, accessibility, the post crisis situation of COVID-19, etc. This book is a significant contribution towards the very limited knowledge of technology applications in tourism, with selected examples of Asian countries. The importance of technology in Asian tourism is rapidly increasing, and has led to a rise in luxury, allowing citizens to enjoy leisure travel over both long and short distances. The rise of low-cost airlines and the region’s growing, affluent middle class have changed the tourism environment dramatically. More tourists are booking their holidays online as a result of technological advancements. Online travel is the most important and well-established aspect of Asia's Internet economy. Considering the ongoing trend of technology applications in the tourism industry in Asia, more research attempts like this book need to be made aiming towards exploring diverse aspects. As tourism is an expanding area, this book can serve as a reading companion for tourism students, policy planners and industry professionals. This book is expected to be appreciated by expatriate researchers and researchers having a keen interest in the Asian tourism industry.

Download or read book Opinions on Big Tech Targeted Advertising and Privacy Actions written by Britani Lingafelt and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big Tech companies have become increasingly integrated into daily life, but technology strides have also introduced new privacy threats. Many users have expressed concerns over the possibility of microphone recordings informing advertisement selections. This study asked participants to answer questions about opinions of personal experiences, patents, policies, and current lawsuits to gauge users' desires regarding privacy, targeted advertising, and microphone usage. The responses suggested that participants generally want more privacy protections and are wary of sensor data collection by Big Tech companies. Most respondents distrust Big Tech companies and believe that companies eavesdrop for advertising purposes. The opinions on the described patents were mainly negative, suggesting users are not in favor of sensor usage for content personalization. This study also examined if age, race, ethnicity, and urban-rural residential setting impact privacy opinions, such that Big Tech actions affect specific groups of people differently; however, the data were inconclusive in accepting or rejecting the hypothesis due to limited diversity in the respondent group.
Download or read book Personalising Learning in Teacher Education written by Mellita Jones and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sheds light on debates about personalised learning in teacher education by exploring the popular emergence of personalising learning in education and hence its significance in teacher education in the 21st century. It examines personalising learning theory and explores the tenets of this theory and its recent trends in international settings. The theory is explored in relation to both general and higher education pedagogy, and in a range of examples within a teacher education context. The examples from practice provide insights into maximising the potential for personalising learning theory to enhance teaching, learning and assessment in teacher education. The book includes case studies involving pre-service teachers working in communities of practice with one another, with schools and with the wider community. Examples of technology for personalising learning are also described. All the case studies demonstrate how the learner is made central to the teaching and assessment approaches adopted and contributes to a lifelong learning continuum. Providing insights into a new pedagogy for teacher education that leads to an enriched student experience, the book presents a model for personalising learning in teacher education that offers support for 21st century teacher educators.
