Abstract / Artist's Statement
My capstone examines Netflix’s strategic evolution and place in the market, with a specific emphasis on technological innovation and business development strategies. As the highly competitive, volatile streaming industry, Netflix will have to continue to differentiate itself to expand its market reach. The study will explore how Netflix leverages data and AI based decision-making models, content diversification, and global expansion to maintain its leadership in the industry.
My project employs a framework molded around strategic analysis, integrating SWOT analysis, Porter’s Five Forces, and market trend evaluations. My research includes case studies, industry reports, and financial performance assessments to evaluate Netflix’s strategies.
My recent most findings show that Netflix’s business development efforts focus on content diversification, global expansion, and revenue model innovation. Region specific original content helps Netflix strengthen its global appeal; partnerships with telecom providers and licensing deals with studios, distributors, and production companies help expand its market share. The company’s transition into advertising supported tiers, live sporting events, and gaming content further differentiate its entertainment service. On the technological front, Netflix’s AI driven recommendations and cloud infrastructure enhance user engagement and retention. Although, challenges with rising content acquisition costs and increased competition will test the company’s success long-term.
Overall, Netflix’s approach is a model for companies navigating technological disruption and global expansion. The company demonstrates how innovation and strategic business development drive sustained growth.
