Microsoft’s Surface line, will hardware products
be the key for future success?

For my course of “Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation” I wrote this paper about whether the Surface line of products would be successful for Microsoft and why. Having followed this course during my exchange in Nottingham in 2016, it taught me a lot about innovation and this made me decide to pursue a full master in Business Administration: Entrepreneurship and Innovation. My main conclusions were that because of the renewed structure of Microsoft’s organisation and their collaborations with other companies I expected them to have a strong position to create innovative new products. Furthermore, I recommended more linkages between divisions within Microsoft. For example, the Cloud and Enterprise division should have more connections as this could possibly enable them to create groundbreaking new products. Becoming curious? Read the full paper below!
