In particular software companies have to depend on on= e another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers or a uni= que experience to their users. Moreover recent developments like the emergi= ng app economy offer a variety of opportunities for entrepreneurs or start-= up companies. The recent acquisition of the three-year old Finnish mobile g= ame startup Supercell with the total value of 2.2 billion Euros shows that = the future of software is not only in utility and but also in entertainment= and increasing freetime of people globally.
