The current hardware and software markets have turned out to
be severely competitive among global giants like Apple, Samsung, Google,
Microsoft and others. Facebook and Twitter have possessed one of appealing
assets – social networking marketplaces. Hundreds million of subscribers or
online users are gold mines for ad generated revenues and sales potential
unities. Companies have spent hundreds billion U.S. dollar a year to advertise
and market their products and services to prospective customers. Marketers and
advertisers are now retrained to become professional PR specialists who can
connect business brands to target customers, investors and stakeholders. Whether
will Facebook disappear someday as well as Twitter? The answer is “Yes” or “No”
because consumers can find other reasons to abandon both Facebook and Twitter,
even investors have bet their money of billions U.S. dollar on virtual
marketplaces.
Samsung, Apple, Google, and Microsoft have shared two global
values – hardware and software for Smartphone and tablet. Those two personal
and business gadgets are still myths for business organizations to take some
business evolutions as well as consumer-oriented business development
platforms. Who will dominate the dual and interdependent markets of hardware
and software of Smartphone and tablet is a winner.
Money is available in markets based on interest rates,
regulation and investors’ confidence. Some investors have speculated or bet by
sentiments versus peers who use rational and reasonable choices. Statistics
reports and analyses are made to provide general and in-depth multifaceted
strength-and-weakness values in which investors can use for decision-making
procedures. A government may respond with policies and combined strategies of
fiscal and monetary indexes and regulations. Trust, confidence, jobs, GDP
growth and public debt are most priority concerns by government top-level
officers and leaders.
IT is an abbreviation of Information Technology. Hardware
technology used to drive Japan
to the world’s second-largest economy. U.S.
market was born very late compared to Europe, Asia and Africa .
South America was born on a same date to North America, but political
structures and business cultures have determined wealth and prosperity of North
America – the United States of America
and Canada , excluding Mexico . Europe has still enjoyed with world-class merchandises
and traditionally made upscale products to the global economy. Airbus is a
product of integrated European companies with European governments’ sponsorship
and subsidiaries to compete with U.S. airplane and defense companies
like Boeing. E.U is another product of integrated markets and adopted single
currency to compete with North America, Japan and other parts of the world.
Linux was born in Europe to define a new
concept of open source platforms to challenge global software giants like
Microsoft and Apple. Android is also another open source platform, but acquired
by Google to reshape OS versions for both hardware and software licensing and
non-licensing models. China
has followed the Myth of Japan to become the world’s second-largest economy and
soon take the top position from the United States of America . In a
theory of multiplying 1.3 billion Chinese consumers and substantial GDP per
capita, China will become
bigger than U.S.
and other economies in coming decades. But reality has variables and
complicated factors that have impacted on both macroeconomic and microeconomic
development platforms.
