ANALYSIS

an active worker in Microsoft took a
long leave due bad health ,that affected
the company’s performance.
There was lack of software
developers, who are needed for the
management processes to handle the
growing administrative, financial,
logistical duties.
Gates found difficulty with Towne
thereby the relationship did not work,
there were even management issues
arising.
Their products (such as BASIC &MSDOS) were not an immediate success.
Product development was becoming
more complex and demanded an
integrated approach that was not part
of a companies tradition.

S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS

Allen got an
opportunity to show
their talent and

lawsuit be Apple Computer
alleged that Microsoft had
improperly used the “look and
feel” of the Macintosh.
Microsoft’s collaboration with

IBM had ended and IBM was
seeking to develop it’s own
successor to MS-DOS.

which acquire Ashton-Tate in

applications programs that
undercut Microsoft.
