Research on Microsoft
Use reliable online sources to research for information. Your selected firm must have available website that is accessible to the public. You can also use other resources such as websites, newspapers, articles, journals, books and other sources. Your focus should be on the following…..
A brief history of the firm/business (ation, targeting population, management, year the firm was first established and more).
Business Strategies, costs of production, revenues, and business outlook (the previous and current business standing).
Annual growth, both revenue and productivity if any (Be sure to use data that supports your response).
The impact of coronavirus on the firm’s operations, is the firm still in business or currently shut down? If it is still in business, is it making profit now compared to the previous years before coronavirus?
Why is the firm still in business or why did it shut down? If you were the manager/CEO or owner of the form, what would you do in this situation?
How would you manage the business to ensure it survive this recession and if any future recessions?
Write a personal report/reflection on what you learned during the research process and your conclusions about the company’s future and your recommendations for the firm.
