Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft) is one of the leading providers of software and storage products and services. The
company enjoys a competitive position in the industry through its comprehensive product portfolio. Microsoft’s substantial
debt and involvement in legal proceedings are major causes for concern. The company, with focus on research and
development, and inorganic growth, could cash in on the growing demand for cloud computing and enhance its business.
The technological changes, intense competition across the segments, and the extensive use of pirated versions of its
products pose a huge threat to the company’s future growth.
