Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
For one reason or another, most people seem to assume Microsoft’s success has been the result of predatory marketing.
In reality, the success of Microsoft is the direct result of three factors:
The company’s ability to hire and retain intelligent employees.
The application of bright ideas to developing new software products.
An eagerness to use market feedback intelligently in improving successive generations of products.
All of these factors are useful and beneficial, but what really ties everything together at Microsoft is the company’s ability to learn from and then adapt to changing market conditions. In effect, the company has reinvented itself several times over as the market it seeks to address has moved. The recent makeover and change of emphasis to bring an Internet awareness to its products in recent times has been an illustrative demonstration of Microsoft’s adaptiveness as an organization.
And it is that adaptiveness, combined with the effective harnessing of intelligent thought and reasoning, that will position Microsoft to move forward into the uncharted future with its usual trademark aggressiveness and confidence. Rather than trying to find ways to restrain the Microsoft juggernaut, business would be much better served if it concentrated on developing new and better ways to emulate what Microsoft does right.
