Microsoft is an organization that has been around for many years but people fail to realize how Microsoft has innovated its company and its products. Microsoft has several products that have innovated over time like the surface tablet, Microsoft Sync for vehicles and Microsoft office. Organizations like Apple Inc. and Amazon were ahead of Microsoft with the iPad and Kindle, leaving Microsoft to release the surface tablet. The surface tablet is a tiny touch screen tablet with an attachable keyboard, this tablet is more universal because of the Microsoft Office setting that is already installed unlike the iPad which makes business meeting easier and the detachable keyboard makes for easy pictures at a soccer game. The surface tablet does the same as a home computer and still works as an on the go tablet. Another innovation is the Microsoft Sync in which Microsoft joined with Ford to create a software that allows drivers to never take their eyes off the road. The Microsoft Sync depending on the package will allow the driver to answer calls, reply to text, play apps such as Pandora and receive turn by turn directions by simply talking to the software. Microsoft’s biggest innovation is Microsoft Office, almost every organization, college student and local business owner uses Microsoft Office to accomplish goals. Microsoft has made writing papers and creating power point presentations easy and fun.

Another method that Microsoft uses is user led innovation. Microsoft mastered
