Célia LE CORRE List of acronyms and abbrevations • CCP: Chinese Communist Party • IPO: Initial Public Offering • USA: United States of America 2013 5/52 Towards new horizons: building the Baidu brand worldwide. Célia LE CORRE Executive summary In january 2013, Robin Li, Baidu CEO, emphasized four business focus of Baidu in the future: the traditional search, mobile cloud, LBS and international strategy. This is this last focus that I have chosen to study through my audit report. This work begins with a development on Baidu, the first search engine in China and the sixth more visited site in the world. Indeed, before talking about a strategy of a firm, I think that it is important to understand the firm, how it thinks, how it operates, why it acts in this way and not in an other way. The Eastern and the Western mindsets being highly different, and therefore their respective business strategy, I have chosen to explain the particularities of the Chinese culture. Then, I deal with the core of my audit report: the strategy of internationalization of Baidu, which is localization in the emerging countries. I explain this choice, the tools developed to put into practice this strategy, and discuss about its relevance. Finally, I study the bigger impediment of Baidu in its international strategy, that's the American giant Google. As it will be developed all along this audit report, this Baidu-Google battle for the Internet market is not only a fight between two search engines. Behind that, it is also a fierce competition between two countries, the United States of America and China, for the leadership of technology and innovation in the world. 2013 6/52 Towards new horizons: building the Baidu brand worldwide. Célia LE CORRE Introduction 1994, State University of New York, United States of America (USA). Robin Li, today the co-creator and CEO of Baidu and considered as one of the most influential people in the world by The Times in 2010, was then one of these students keen on computers. It had been almost three years that he had left China for the USA. His decision was prompted by the crackdown of the government on pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square, in 1989. For Robin Li, China had then become a land without hope. In parallel with his computer studies, he became enamored of the technology boom which was taking shape in Silicon Valley. He developed especially a kind interest in the Internet, which was then in its beginnings. He spent much of his time in trying to solve one of the Internet industry’s earliest problems: putting information in order. Its work ended up really paying off: in 1996, Robin Li developed an Internet search method he called “RankDex”, shortly before a certain Larry Page created a different method that became … Google. Thus Robin Li considered, and still considers, that Larry Page had taken his inspiration directly from RankDex. It was the beginning of a long story of mistrust and fights, which it is still happening right now. Similarly, as he was attending a computer science class, Robin Li was stung by a remark from a professor: «Do they have computers in China?». He became determined to change the perception that China was technologically backward. These two factors, the war of authorship with Google’s founder, and the representation of China as an underdeveloped country, marked a breakthrough in Robin Li’s life. A few time

The first publicly available smartphone running Android, the HTC Dream, was released on October 22, 2008. The user interface of Android is based on direct manipulation, using touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects. Internal hardware such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and proximity sensors are used by some applications to respond to additional user actions, for example adjusting the screen from portrait to landscape depending on how the device is oriented.

  • History and Evolution of the Android OS
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Springer - Publisher Connector CHAPTER 1 History and Evolution of the Android OS I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this. —Steve Jobs, Apple Inc. Android, Inc. started with a clear mission by its creators. According to Andy Rubin, one of Android’s founders, Android Inc. was to develop “smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner’s location and preferences.” Rubin further stated, “If people are smart, that information starts getting aggregated into consumer products.” The year was 2003 and the location was Palo Alto, California. This was the year Android was born. While Android, Inc. started operations secretly, today the entire world knows about Android. It is no secret that Android is an operating system (OS) for modern day smartphones, tablets, and soon-to-be laptops, but what exactly does that mean? What did Android used to look like? How has it gotten where it is today? All of these questions and more will be answered in this brief chapter. Origins Android first appeared on the technology radar in 2005 when Google, the multibillion- dollar technology company, purchased Android, Inc. At the time, not much was known about Android and what Google intended on doing with it. Information was sparse until 2007, when Google announced the world’s first truly open platform for mobile devices. The First Distribution of Android On November 5, 2007, a press release from the Open Handset Alliance set the stage for the future of the Android platform.
