Microsoft has a large online presence with 29% of US web searches and their Bing search engine has 12% of the global search market share. While Microsoft's online services division has seen growing revenue, it has consistently operated at a loss between 2010-2013. Microsoft recognizes it cannot overtake Google in traditional web search and is pursuing a strategy to develop more active, knowledge-based search that can enrich other Microsoft products like Outlook, Windows, and Visual Studio.

How the Strategy Process Killed Innovation at Microsoft
to match that of other tech companies such as Google,
Apple, and Amazon because they created entirely
new areas of computing from scratch, and as a con-
sequence, their stock prices have soared. One reason
Microsoft’s fell and flattened in the 2000s was that
it saw its mission differently. Protecting its existing
portfolio, Microsoft largely failed to commercialize
any category-defining products or services. Why? The
answer: Microsoft’s strategy process killed innovation!
Top-Down Strategy Process Killed
Bottom-Up Strategic Initiatives at Microsoft
Microsoft actually came up with some major break-
throughs, but failed to successfully commercialize
them. The root of the problem seemed to lie with
Microsoft’s top-down strategy process. Once Win-
dows became the industry standard in 1990, Micro-
soft’s strategy was defensive: Any new product or
extension had to strengthen the existing Windows-
Office franchise; if not, it would be “killed.” Here
are some great products and services that Microsoft
invented, but never commercialized.
SINCE MICROSOFT LAUNCHED Windows 3.0 in
1990, it has dominated the industry for PC operating
system (OS) software with a 90 percent market share.
Microsoft’s huge installed base of Windows operating
systems on PCs and its long-term relationships with
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), such as
Dell, HP, and Lenovo, create tremendous entry bar-
riers for newcomers. Intel’s semiconductor chips are
the perfect complement to Microsoft’s operating sys-
tem. Every time Microsoft releases a new operating
system, demand for Intel’s latest microprocessor goes
up, because new operating systems require more com-
puting power. Because of the complementary nature
of their products, Microsoft’s and Intel’s alternating
advances have created a virtuous cycle, benefiting
from network effects. The successful combination of
Microsoft’s Windows and Intel’s processors has pro-
duced the Wintel (a portmanteau of Windows and
Intel) standard in the PC industry. By 1999, Microsoft
was the most valuable company on the planet.
Fast-forward to 2017, two years after Microsoft
released Windows 10, its latest version of the ubiqui-
tous operating system. For the past quarter century,
Microsoft’s business model was to establish and main-
tain the dominance of the Wintel standard in the PC
industry. With this standard, Microsoft made money
off consumer and business application software such as
its Office Suite. Microsoft remains hugely profitable:
With some $85 billion in annual revenues in 2016, it
generated over $20 billion in profits! Windows and
Office still generate about 40 percent of Microsoft’s
total revenues and 75 percent of profits. The gross margin
of “classic” Office is 90 percent, while the new cloud-
based Office 365 only has a 50 percent profit margin.
Although Microsoft ...

Bing: inspired by technology and consumer trends (IAB Netherlands – Friends o...Cedric Chambaz
“The web is dead, long live the internet!”. Wired’s provocative headline from 2010 has a significant impact in the search industry. Search imposed itself as our gateway to the web, but the rise of new consumer scenarios is driving profound changes in how publishers and advertisers need to approach the search paradigm. People search differently. They use new, interconnected devices. They formalise their intent differently. The blue links are thus being replaced by new, more engaging and relevant experiences aligned to these new models. During this presentation we will cover Microsoft’s vision of search and how it already materialised itself by making Bing a platform at the core of Microsoft vertical integration.
As 2012 comes to an end, we look at what 2013 holds for the Search industry. Our directors provide insights into the advancements that can be expected in SEO, PPC and Social Media, whilst Google highlights what to expect from the 2013 consumer.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Dr. James Whittaker
11. Buy or Sell?
Unimpressive numbers
Great vision does not imply great execution
Online services are critical for long-term success
Buy low, sell high…
I worked as an intern at Microsoft, for the ads team.
Today, I’m going to talk about Microsoft online services. Bing and MSN. (I’m concentrating more on Bing)
Why is this part?
Internet changed world past 25 (communication, information, decisions)
I believe again next 10,25 years.
Microsoft part of that transformation, presentation about.
What does Microsoft’s online services do?
Microsoft handles about 30% of US web searches. (18% from Bing and 11% from Yahoo.)
5 Billion per month. That’s about 2000 per second.
Bing is not longer limited just to traditional web searches.
Bing powers both Cortana (the Windows phone digital assistant) and now Siri, the iPhone equivalent.
This is the most depressing view of Microsoft’s online services—the financials.
Expenses (2nd bar) have exceeded revenue (1st bar) for the past several years, leading to a negative operating income. Optimistically, the amount of money lost each year is slowly decreasing, as revenue increases and expenses decrease.
(I won’t go over all the items in detail, but will focus on two of them)
1998: Microsoft launches its first search service the same year Google is founded
2009: Microsoft re-brands its search product as “Bing” and nearly doubles its US market share since then
Obviously elephant room Google. Built brand fast, reliable.
Yahoo! Isn’t as much of a threat.
Baidu China, but very little English.
Other small players like DuckDuckGo are in niche markets. (Privacy in this case.)
This leaves Bing as the challenger to Google for the foreseeable future. (Apple
These are the international market share statistics. They are worse for Bing than the US numbers, but give a better idea of global competition.
So where does that leave Microsoft today? What’s their strategic position?
They’re have the only English web index that comes even close to Google’s (others like Ask use aggregated results or much smaller indexes)
They have really fierce competition. And, in most people’s opinion, they’re not doing particularly well.
They’re losing money
But here’s the thing: Microsoft knows it won’t beat Google (in terms of market share) at traditional web search.
In fact, I would suggest they aren’t even trying to.
Microsoft has to focus on the long-term. Today, search engines provide us with data when we ask for it. Tomorrow, that won’t happen. There is enough information and technologies that can use that information for the Internet’s knowledge to be brought directly to us. No more searching for everything.
Example? When you get an email from a friend about eating at Angelo’s, you shouldn’t have to use Bing/Google to figure out where it is, when it’s open, and what kind of food they serve.
Microsoft is focusing on building knowledge, not indexes. (There’s a key difference there. Knowledge deals with the relationship between different entities. I.e., the Michigan Theater is located on Catherine St in Ann Arbor. Not just text in a file copied from their website that mentions the address.)
Microsoft is already using this knowledge to enhance its other products, like Outlook, Windows, and Visual Studio.
They are developing a plug-in for visual studio that analyzes the code you’ve written and helps you find the appropriate algorithms to use, etc.
Similar plugins for Outlook that try to “guess” what you want to know based on your emails/calendar.
(I will say this before the quotations have appeared) This is Dr. James Whittaker. Quick bio:
He was a professor at the Florida Institute of Technology
Then an architect at Microsoft
Then a director & tech evangelist at Google
After becoming frustrated with Google’s focus on ads and Google+, he returned to Microsoft
Dr. Whittaker gave one of the “spotlight” presentations to Microsoft interns last Summer, about the future of the Internet.
Three things really stood out to me:
First, he said <1>. Most of us. 1 Yottabyte. Trillion terabytes. Quadrillion gigabytes.
Second, he talked about the shift from passive to active searching that I mentioned earlier. He predicted this would end in the next few years. <Second quotation>.
Example from an email his daughter sent him
Finally, he said that Microsoft’s business model puts it in the best position to be the leader of the transformation. Why? <Third quotation> Google makes money on advertisements; they make money on “lost.” “They would be happy if you searched all day.”
Microsoft, by contrast, has a business model for Office/Windows that solely prioritizes making the best product.
What is the secret sauce of Microsoft?
Long-term vision
Aggressive research
Microsoft Research (MSR) is one of the largest corporate research institutions, much larger than the Google counterpart GoogleX
Amazing products are coming out of MSR like Satori (knowledge base) and Cosmos (big data handler)
Some of you attended Peter Lee’s presentation last week in Stamps Auditorium. (Lee is a Umich grad and head of Microsoft Research.)
(He gave a demo of some of these things.)
Incredible persistence
Taking on the problem of understanding the world’s information is a huge task, especially with Google as competition.
Years of research, development, and investment are needed in a product that, even now, doesn’t make money.
A doggedness and determination is critical to winning the end-game. (5-10 years from now)
(This is sort of my conclusion slide. The number of slides and their content is more or less fixed by Soloway.)
Bing/Microsoft online services isn’t its own stock, but what’s the general picture? Is it going up or down?
Really hard to say…
Numbers aren’t good, but Bing will play a larger role in Microsoft than just making money.
Decent plan for the future, but who knows if they can execute it?
Bing/online services are key strategically to Microsoft.
Following the old saying “buy low, sell high”, maybe now is the time to buy?
