As the company is maturing, its growth has slowed down as compared to initial stages, but the power the computer software maker has over the flow of the world's information is very formidable. On the other side we have Google Inc., a company just a decade old but with power that rivals Microsoft in many ways. In a sense, Microsoft provides the river, and Google provides the current. That's probably not what we (Microsoft executives) had in mind, but that's reality. Now it’s time for us to weigh alternatives for improving the company’s position in the market for Internet Searches and related advertising. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT In this report we are going to discuss the issues faced by Microsoft, the opportunity available to Microsoft and the analysis of the issues. Further we will list the options available, their evaluation and then we would propose our recommendations. ISSUES and PROBLEMS • Microsoft has not been able to achieve considerable market share in Internet Search Engine...

...experience unprecedented growth, we realized that we must maximize the efficiency of our operation. In an effort to deliver the highest level of customer service, and remain competitive in the retail market, Party Plates sales and accounting team conducted an efficiency study of the operation and the systems that support it. As a result of this analysis, we found that there was a need to upgrade our current sales and inventory tracking system. We are proposing that we transition from our current Microsoft Excel database to relational database software, Microsoft Access. Additionally, we will need to integrate collaborative software such as Microsoft SharePoint in the near future to best maximize the effectiveness of our new database. As you know, we currently use Microsoft Excel to track our inventory and sales. Excel has been an effective management tool in the past; our current needs demand a management system that can manage multiple tasks with multiple users. Currently, we have many spreadsheets that in general do not merge or allow us to produce appropriate reports and can only be used by one person at a time. As our business grows, so will our staff and we will need to have a system that is multifunctional for many users. Microsoft Access is a relational database system, which is capable of managing customers, suppliers, products and orders. It also will also allow us to create a variety of forms, queries and reports that will allow us in depth study, in every aspect...

...Business Professor Cindy Atchley Collaboration vs. Competition: The Effect of Culture on Innovation Microsoft, the most dominate software company of the 1990’s, has slowly been eclipsed by companies like Apple and Google. How? What is it that Apple and Google do as businesses that have made them more valuable to both investors and global markets? “Until recently, Microsoft has always been able to attract some of the world’s greatest software minds for most of its history.” (Govindarajan, 2010). The answer lies not with a lack of talent. A significant cause can be found in the differences between their corporate cultures. For every product category that Microsoft once dominated: music, operating systems, and social media, they have now been surpassed by their rivals. Microsoft Corporation, though still hugely profitable, showing revenues in 2013, of $21.5 billion, is no longer seen as a technology innovator (Microsoft Corporation, 2013). It is rapidly losing relevancy as people look to more innovative companies. Dick Brass, former vice president at Microsoft from 1997 to 2004, in his article “Microsoft’s Creative Destruction,” describes Microsoft’s corporate issues this way, “Unlike other companies, Microsoft never developed a true system for innovation. Some of my former colleagues argue that it actually developed a system to thwart innovation.” (Foley, 2014) Microsoft was dominant in the technology environment during the time when some of the most innovative and spectacular...
