International Merger Acquisition Failure
The general expectation in mergers and acquisitions is that the firm’s shareholder value post mergers or acquisitions would be greater compared to the total shareholder value of the parent companies before the process is completed. Similarly, the parent companies, especially the smaller and weaker one, would tremendously benefit due to an enhanced market share, competitiveness, and cost-efficiencies. Some of the most ideal situation when mergers and acquisitions are appropriate includes when companies wish to introduce new products, avail some administrative benefits, and enter a new market. Although there are many business and companies such as Time Warner, Google, Microsoft, eBay, BMW, etc. who have been successful in mergers and acquisitions, some have never been so lucky because their process have often ended in failure.
The acquisition of Motorola by Google in 2012 is amongst the worst in the history of merger and acquisition. Google obtained Motorola for $12.5 billion with the aim of using the brand to build top-quality mobile devices because Google’s Android OS had already started off with a massive market share (Epstein, 2014). Motorola however broke the promise by releasing a variety of low-quality mobile devices. They even failed to upgrade the old phones to the latest Android OS for the consumers. To further worsen the matter, Google continued to release mobile devices called Nexus, which, were produced under the partnership with LG, Asus, and Samsung. The implication for such a partnership is that it led to the wearing away of the Motorola acquisition’s value even further. Then, the shocker came when Google had to offload its $12.5 billion purchase for about $2.9 billion to Lenovo two years after the acquisition.
The offload was necessary although Motorola’s Moto X had at one point shown positive performance in the market. The sale covered Motorola’s deferred tax assets, handset division, cash on hand, home business, amongst other things (Epstein, 2014). However, Google still retained Motorola’s patent portfolio after the sale. The biggest mistake that Google made, regardless of the fact that it was faced with a critical dilemma, was to buy Motorola in order to save Google’s Android OS. The move was unprecedented because it is very few companies that trade in software which [have ever successfully] shifted to hardware. Secondly, the new acquisition meant that Google had to compete with its software clients such as HTC and Samsung which are also known to offer top-notch Android-based tablets and mobile phones.
Third, Android software are not primarily meant to generate much money. Hence, by investing in the new merger, Google had only dreamt of holding o.
This document summarizes the key findings of a survey of 5,526 mobile developers conducted by Appcelerator and IDC in August 2012. The survey asked developers about mobile trends and their development priorities. Key findings include:
1) Most developers believe a mobile-first startup could disrupt Facebook's social dominance.
2) By 2015, developers expect to build apps for more devices than just smartphones and tablets, such as TVs and connected cars.
3) Developers are dissatisfied with nearly every aspect of HTML5 mobile applications.
4) Apple remains the most popular platform for developers, while interest in Android declines for the fourth straight quarter.
Mobile developers believe that a mobile-first social media startup could disrupt Facebook's dominance. They also predict that by 2015 they will be building apps for more devices beyond smartphones and tablets, such as TVs and connected cars. Developers expressed dissatisfaction with HTML5 for mobile apps due to issues with performance, security, and fragmentation. Apple continues to be the most popular platform for developers, while interest in Android development declined again. Developers are optimistic but cautious about Windows 8's potential due to Microsoft's past performance and the difficulty of the task.

Google began developing Android as an open source operating system for mobile devices. In 2005, Google acquired Android and launched the Open Handset Alliance in 2007 with many industry partners. Android was the first open and free mobile OS, allowing developers to easily create apps. Google invested heavily in Android due to the growing mobile market and opportunity for targeted mobile ads. For Android to be successful, it needed to gain significant market share from Symbian and remove Nokia as the leader. While Apple and Nokia posed threats, Google worked with OHA partners to develop smartphones that could compete. However, it would be difficult for any single mobile OS to become a "winner takes all" due to differentiated features across platforms.

Google employs a strategic management approach that aligns with its mission to organize the world's information. It uses a flat management structure and empowers employees to collaborate on projects they are passionate about, living its theory as a "network company." Google's mission is to make information universally accessible and useful. It drives innovation through products like search, maps, translation and more. A Porter's 5 forces analysis found Google faces little threat from new entrants or substitutes given its market dominance in digital advertising, where it has over 30% share. While competitors like Microsoft and Yahoo have tried and failed to gain significant share, Google maintains success through strategic planning, execution, and focusing on customer retention.
This document discusses how businesses can adapt to the increasing importance of mobile. It notes that people are online twice as much as three years ago using various devices. Marketers must consider how to reach customers across different contexts and devices. The document provides examples of how companies have optimized their digital experiences and apps for mobile. It suggests businesses ask if they are adequately monitoring mobile metrics and adapting organizationally. Recommendations include leveraging location data, in-app ads, and measuring non-traditional mobile conversions like store visits. The conclusion emphasizes that mobile represents a shift in how people engage digitally and physically.
Augmented reality glasses are an emerging market expected to grow significantly in the next few years. The document analyzes the augmented reality glasses market and finds that wearable electronics will dominate the consumer electronics industry. Google Glass is projected to lead the market with an estimated 5 million units to be sold by 2016, representing a $2.5 billion market opportunity. Pairing Google Glass with in-car sensors could enhance the driving experience by providing real-time information to the driver through their glasses.
The document discusses three trends for marketers to consider: the new marketing era, the multiscreen world, and social and local. It emphasizes that consumers are using multiple devices simultaneously and sequentially throughout their purchase journeys. It also highlights the growing importance of social media and conversations in marketing. The document advocates integrating social features into products like Search to provide more personalized and engaging experiences for customers.
This document provides a summary of the Workforce 2020 Executive Report on Google. It finds that the US workforce will be older, more female, and impacted by immigration trends over the next decade.

This document discusses key considerations for selecting a mobile development company. It recommends evaluating a company's capabilities and experience across different mobile platforms. Important questions to ask include what platforms they have developed for, how many recent projects they have completed, and what skills they can offer beyond visual design. The document also stresses the importance of assessing development costs and timelines upfront to avoid unexpected expenses. It provides tips for choosing a company such as reviewing portfolio quality, assessing company culture, and considering marketing expertise.
Google has a dominant position in the online search market, processing nearly 89% of queries worldwide. However, it faces threats from increasing competition from other large tech companies like Facebook and Amazon. Google also has weaknesses, such as excessive reliance on advertising revenue and ongoing privacy and antitrust issues that could undermine its business model. To capitalize on opportunities and address weaknesses, Google is expanding into new areas like cloud computing, AI devices, and its Android operating system.

Google Market Plan
Google is irrefutably one of the most popular and successful companies globally. This is one of the fastest growing companies as from when it was founded in 1998, it has grown into a multibillion dollar company. Google’s mission over the years has been to “organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful” (Google, 2010). In order to do this the company has implemented a very effective branding strategy that has enabled it to emerge the better amongst the companies that offer related services. Google as a company has played a major role in the promotion of globalization.

Differentiation has been one of the major strategies that have propelled Google towards becoming better than the competitors. Google has been at the fore front in trying new things hence having a better platform in ensuring consumer satisfaction. Branding for any of Google’s products has been very important especially in positioning of the company (Levi, 2007). One of the major Google products over the years has been the mobile phones and mobile software. Google although having entered into a very competitive market several years ago has managed to become one of the major mobile phone makers.
Google as a brand in the mobile phone industry needs improvement as none of the products can compete effectively with the other products provided by the competitors in the market. The product this case is a state of the art smart phone as a new brand. The name is “Google Smart”. The Google smart series of phone will include a very flashy look and simplified software interphase so as to ensure it has got the upper hand when compared with the other products in the market today. The product slogan will be “the life partner” as with the different support programs for the day to day use the phone will offer support for most of the activities surrounding ones activities. The phone will be releases in phases according to different regions as different regions have different specifications. The different specifications require different product specification settings and hence the difference the launch for the regions globally.

WTO & Trade Issues - Legal and Ethical Issues in International Marketing.pptxDiksha Vashisht
Making the leap into overseas marketing involves more than just identifying a new market and going after it. The process requires plenty of foresight and local knowledge if the pitfalls of legal and cultural issues are to be avoided. Linguistic and cultural differences, shifting political systems, and governmental protections for home-grown brands will all have to be planned for and dealt with first.

To better understand how modern global trade has evolved, it’s important to understand how countries traded with one another historically. Over time, economists have developed theories to explain the mechanisms of global trade.
The main historical theories are called classical and are from the perspective of a country, or country-based.

9. Stages of a Merger
PLANNING
First is planning. One of the most
complex parts of the merger
process is finding a suitable buyer
or seller. This involves a lot of
analysis and can take some time,
even years. To find the right match,
consultants and advisors perform
an evaluation of the target
company by looking at strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats of the merger. Experts also
might look at the share exchange
ratio, which evaluates share value,
to determine if the merger will
result in increased value for the
company.
RESOLUTION
The second stage of a merger
is resolution. A letter of intent
indicates plans for a merger, but
this also needs approval. The
resolution involves the
management approving of the
merger and then putting this
proposal to the shareholders,
who must also consider approval
of the merger. This occurs at
an extraordinary shareholders'
meeting
IMPLEMENTATION
The third and final stage of a
merger is implementation. In this
stage, the newly formed company
will need to be registered. For
many large companies, the
process from negotiations to
reaching this final stage might
take as long as a year or more.
