Comparing Microsoft Bing and Google using the marketing mix
Google's dominance of the search market globally continues despite the aggressive launch in 2009 of Bing, a new search engine, by Microsoft. To date, Google is still the most preferred search engine globally, with a commanding market share lead (Grensing-Pophal, 2012). Both of these search engines are financed through advertising revenues, with Google's AdWords being the most profitable online advertising platform globally today as well. Microsoft's Bing advertising strategies have gravitated towards paid search and more traditional forms of online business models (Grensing-Pophal, 2012). These have been somewhat successful in raising the profitability of the Online Division of Microsoft, known as one of the least profitable in the entire company (Vance, 2012). Google on the other hand continues to be one of the most consistently profitable businesses in the high technology sector, often surpassing revenue and profitability targets on a consistent basis (Cho, 2009). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate each of these companies using the marketing mix, which is comprised of product, price, promotion and place or distribution. Place will be interpreted as their actual website and location online.

E-commerce's role in financial stability and customer satisfaction
There are many positive aspects of e-commerce that lessen the shock of economic turbulence and uncertainty. The financial market meltdown and global banking crisis could have been worse without the efficiency, security and high level of auditability all attributable to e-commerce system development and ongoing use (Dehning, Richardson, Urbaczewski, Wells, 2004). E-commerce is critical during these uncertain, turbulent and economically challenging times due to the level of trust that they sustain and grow despite these economic downturns (Gökmen, 2012). Finally e-commerce systems have over time also created a more unified transaction and credit reporting network as well. All of these factors have combined to make the financial market meltdown and global banking crisis less severe than it potentially could have been without these systems and the networks they were instrumental in creating and sustaining today.
