Introduction

Mobile Operating System

A mobile operating system, also referred to as mobile OS, is theoperating systemthat operates

asmartphone,tablet,PDA, or other digitalmobile devices. Modern mobile operating systems

combine the features of apersonal computeroperating system

withtouchscreen,cellular,Bluetooth,WiFi,GPS mobile navigation,camera,video

camera,speech recognition,voice recorder,music player,Near field communication,personal

digital assistant(PDA) and other features.

A mobileoperating system, also called a mobile OS, is an operating system that is specifically

designed to run on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, tablet computers

and other handheld devices. The mobile operating system is thesoftwareplatformon top ofwhich other programs, calledapplicationprograms, can run on mobile devices.

The operating system is responsible for determining the functions and features available on your

device, such as thumbwheel, keyboards,WAP, synchronization with applications, email,text

messagingand more.Themobile OSwill also determine which third-party applications (mobile apps) can be used on

your device.

Types of Mobile Operating Systems

Android

Android is aLinux-basedoperating system[12]

designed primarily fortouchscreenmobile devices

such assmartphonesandtablet computers. Initially developed by Android, Inc.,

whichGooglebacked financially and later bought in 2005,[13]

Android was unveiled in 2007

along with the founding of theOpen Handset Alliance: a consortium ofhardware,software,

andtelecommunicationcompanies devoted to advancingopen standardsfor mobile

devices.[14]

The first Android-powered phone was sold in October 2008.[15]

Android isopen sourceand Google releases the code under theApache License.[12]

This open

source code and permissive licensing allows the software to be freely modified and distributed

by device manufacturers, wireless carriers and enthusiast developers. Additionally, Android has

a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality ofdevices, written primarily in a customized version of theJavaprogramming language.

[16]In

October 2012, there were approximately 700,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated

number of applications downloaded fromGoogle Play, Android's primary app store, was 25

billion.

iOS

iOS (previously iPhone OS) is amobile operating systemdeveloped and distributed byAppleInc.Originally released in 2007 for theiPhoneandiPod Touchplatforms, it has been extended to

support other Apple devices such as theiPadandApple TV. UnlikeMicrosoft'sWindows

Phone(Windows CE) andGoogle'sAndroid, Apple does not license iOS for installation on non-

Apple hardware. As of September 12, 2012, Apple'sApp Storecontained more than 700,000 iOS

applications, which have collectively been downloaded more than 30 billion times.[4]

It had a

21% share of thesmartphonemobile operating system units shipped in the fourth quarter of

2012, behind only Google's Android.[5]

In June 2012, it accounted for 65% of mobile web data

consumption (including use on both the iPod Touch and the iPad).[6]

At the half of 2012, there

were 410 million devices activated.[7]

According to the special media event held by Apple on

September 12, 2012, 400 million devices have been sold through June 2012.

iOS is derived fromOS X, with which it shares theDarwinfoundation. iOS is Apple's mobile

version of theOS Xoperating system used on Apple computers. iOS currently runs on iPhone,

iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV.

Windows

Windows Mobile is a family ofmobile operating systemsdeveloped

byMicrosoftforsmartphonesandPocket PCs.[2]

Windows Mobile is the predecessor

ofWindows Phone. In February 2010, Microsoft announced Windows Phone to supersede

Windows Mobile, with the new operating system incompatible with Windows Mobile devices

and software.[3]

As a result, Windows Mobile has been discontinued.[a]

The final version of Windows Mobile, released after the announcement of Windows Phone, was

6.5.5. Microsoft has stated that the Windows Phone operating system is incompatible with

devices designed for Windows Mobile as "Windows Mobile 6.x devices do not meet Windows

Phone hardware requirements designed to ensure a consistent user and developer

experience",[4]

and software designed for Windows Mobile is incompatible with the new

operating system

Most versions of Windows Mobile have a set of standard features such asmultitaskingand the

ability to navigate a file system similar to that of Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT,

with support for many of the same file types. Much like its desktop counterpart it comes bundled

with a set of applications to perform basic tasks.Internet Explorer Mobileis the default internet

browser andWindows Media Playeris used for media playback, such as video and

music.Microsoft Office Mobile, the mobile versions ofMicrosoft Officeapplications,

includingOutlook Mobileis the defaultoffice suite. The ability to install third party software has

existed since the original Pocket PC implementations. A client forPPTPVPNsis

standard.Internet Connection Sharingis supported on compatible devices, which in mobile

phones allows the phone to make its Internet connection available to computers via USB and

Bluetooth.

Other mobile operating systems

BlackBerry OSfromBlackBerry(closed source, proprietary)

This OS is focused on easy operation and was originally designed forbusiness. Recently it has

seen a surge in third-party applications and has been improved to offer full multimedia support.

Linuxbased operating system (open source, GPL)[4]

Linux is strongest in China where it is used by Motorola, and in Japan, used by

DoCoMo.[18]

Rather than being an OS in its own right, Linux is used as a basis for a number of

different operating systems developed by several vendors, includingAndroid, GridOS,Boot to

Symbian OSfromNokiaandAccenture[4]

(open public license)

Symbian has the largest smartphone share in most markets worldwide, but lags behind other

companies in the relatively small but highly visible North American market.[24]

This matches the

success ofNokiain all markets except Japan. In Japan Symbian is strong due to a relationship

withNTT DoCoMo, with only one of the 44 Symbian handsets released in Japan coming from

Nokia.

webOSfromHP(open sourced)

webOS is a proprietary mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel, initially developed

by Palm, which launched with thePalm Pre. After being acquired by HP, two phones

(theVeerand thePre 3) and a tablet (theTouchPad) running webOS were introduced in 2011.

SHR(community-driven)

SHR is a GNU/Linux based operating system for smartphones and similar mobile devices. It

integrates various Free and Open Source Software projects into a versatile platform flexible

enough to run on a vast selection of mobile hardware such as the Openmoko Neo Freerunner,

Nokia N900, Palm Pre and variants, T-Mobile G1, HTC HD2, iPhone 3Gs and more.

SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis (alternatively SWOT Matrix) is a structuredplanningmethod used to evaluate

the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in aprojector in abusinessventure. A

SWOT analysis can be carried out for a product, place, industry or person. It involves specifying the

objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are

favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective. The technique is credited toAlbert Humphrey, who

led a convention at the Stanford Research Institute (nowSRI International) in the 1960s and 1970s using

data fromFortune 500companies.[1][2]

The degree to which the internal environment of the firm matches

with the external environment is expressed by the concept ofstrategic fit.

Setting the objective should be done after the SWOT analysis has been performed. This would allow

achievable goals or objectives to be set for the organization.

Strengths: characteristics of the business or project that give it an advantage over others

Weaknesses: are characteristics that place the team at a disadvantage relative to others

Opportunities: elements that the project could exploit to its advantage

Threats: elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the business or project

Identification of SWOTs is important because they can inform later steps in planning to achieve the

objective.

First, the decision makers should consider whether the objective is attainable, given the SWOTs. If

the objective is notattainable a different objective must be selected and the process repeated.

Users of SWOT analysis need to ask and answer questions that generate meaningful information for

each category (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) to make the analysis useful and

find their competitive advantage

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The above title is self-explanatory. The study deals mainly role of social media in decision

making of youth. The various channels of the social media divided in terms of social media

networking Needs, Age groups uses this, Satisfaction levels etc will also studied.

Research Design:-

Research design used was descriptive. Descriptive research describes data and characteristics

about the population or phenomenon being studied. Descriptive research answers the questions

who, what, where, when and how. Although the data description is factual, accurate and

systematic, the research cannot describe what caused a situation. Thus, Descriptive research

cannot be used to create a causal relationship, where one variable affects another. In other words,

descriptive research can be said to have a low requirement for internal validity.

Descriptive research can be either quantitative or qualitative. It can involve collections of

quantitative information that can be tabulated along a continuum in numerical form, such as

scores on a test or the number of times a person chooses to use a-certain feature of a multimedia

program, or it can describe categories of information such as gender or patterns of interaction

when using technology in a group situation. Descriptive research involves gathering data that

describe events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts, and describes the data collection (Glass &

Hopkins, 1984). It often uses visual aids such as graphs and charts to aid the reader in

understanding the data distribution.


17/36

TYPES OF DATA COLLECTED:-

Data collected included both primary and secondary data.

PRIMARY DATA:-

Primary data is that kind of data which is collected by the investigator herself for the purpose of

the specific study. The data such collected is original in character. The advantage of this method

of collection is the authenticity.

A set of questions were put together in the form of questionnaire. For the survey a sample of 100

people were considered. Out of these 75of them are personally visited, rest information about 25

are gathered through online.

SECONDARY DATA:-

When an investigator uses the data that has been already collected by others is called secondary

data. The secondary data could be collected from Journals, Reports and Various Publications.

The advantages of secondary data can be economical, both in the term of money and time spent.

The researcher of the reporter also did the same and collected secondary from various internet

sites like Google.com. Facebook.com and many more. The researchers of the reporter also

visited various libraries for collection of the introduction part.

SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION:-

Primary Data Collection: - Primary data was collected from the respondents with the help of

questionnaire.

Secondary Data Collection: - Secondary data was collected with the help of books, magazine,

internet and jourals.


18/36

TOOLS OF DATA COLLECTION: - The popular ways to collect primary data consist of

surveys, questionnaire, interviews and focus groups, which show that direct relationship between

potential customers and the companies. Survey method was used in the study and the tool used

was the questionnaire.

QUESTIONNAIRE: it is a research instrument consisting of a series ofquestions and other

prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents.

PERIOD OF STUDY: This study has been carried out for a maximum period of 6 weeks

AREA OF STUDY: The study is exclusively done in the area of marketing. It is a process

requiring Care, sophistication, experience, business judgment, and imagination for which there

can be no Mechanical substitutes.

SAMPLING DESIGN: The random sampling is done because any probability sampling

procedure Would require detailed information about the universe, which is not easily available

further, as it is Being an exploratory research.

SAMPLING SIZE: The sampling size of the study is 100

19/36

SAMPLING:-

Sampling is the process of selecting units (e.g., people, organizations) from a population of

interest so that by studying the sample we may fairly generalize our results back to the

population from which they were chosen.

Sampling Design: - Sampling design used was non-probability sampling that include

convenience and judgmental sampling.In this study random sampling procedure is used.

Random sampling is Preferred because of some limitation and the complexity. Area sampling is

used in combination With random sampling so as to collect the data from different regions of the

city.

Non- probability sampling:-

Non-probability sampling is a sampling technique where the samples are gathered in a process

that does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected.

Convenience sampling is probably the most common of all sampling techniques. With

convenience sampling, the samples are selected because they are accessible to the researcher.

Subjects are chosen simply because they are easy to recruit. This technique is considered easiest,

cheapest and least time consuming.

Judgmental sampling is more commonly known as purposive sampling. In this type of

sampling, subjects are chosen to be part of the sample with a specific purpose in mind. With

judgmental sampling, the researcher believes that some subjects are fit for the research compared

to other individuals. This is the reason why they are purposively chosen as subjects.

The research conducted for this report was done purely with the help of interviews conducted

with top officials of three companies. Every company has its own environmental strategy and

thus the efforts made by each company cannot be measured on a common scale.
