Facebook has celebrated its one-billion-active-subscriber
population to convince how it has generated the customer-based
online-ad-monetizing platform. One of unimpressive performances is to
experience a share price drop since its IPO in May, 2012, dissuading investors
and analysts over how Facebook can survive in a long-run. Now it has refocused
on so-called potential-customer-selling transaction to business firms that want
to approach specific customers who have used Facebook pages and accessed to
Facebook’s features. Everyone is waiting for real revenue results.
Apple and Samsung have competed over key and sensitive
elements of designing hardware components, designs, and interactive
screen-touch features. Those debates are roots of non-stop innovation and
creativity. Engineers can create new features, designs and components from
scratch or improve previously designed and invented breakthroughs. Monopoly and
intellectual property rights may come to a dead-end when one business
organization desires to dominate the whole market or take advantages of pricing
strategies. Consumers can favor open sources, open hardware platforms and
free-of-charge applications available from different vendors, suppliers and
hardware makers. Consumers have tried Android-based Smartphone and tablets.
Apple and Nokia have developed their own OS and hardware platforms. But Nokia
has adapted its new OS version to Window Mobile OS from Microsoft. It is not
too late, but Nokia has a long road to make a revolution for sales revenues and
earnings. Apple may convince consumers to choose its new iPhone and iPad
models, but it has also encountered constraints and challenges because it has
used same suppliers, subcontractors and assembly factories from other rival
companies. Apple cannot manufacture all components by itself. So does other
phone makers. Each brand has outsourced a certain processes to third-party
subcontractors and used too many cheap-labor-cost advantages. To keep as an
iconic and innovative corporation is just a name for premium prices on each
newly released model. Super-quality materials and exclusive designs are just
money matters because one brand can outsource specific business functions to
other famous companies in Italy ,
Germany , England and Switzerland
Advertisement revenues, business information values, and
cloud application services are three lucrative business goals for Google,
Microsoft, Yahoo and other IT companies to refocus and explore in coming months
and years.
