THE SUMMARY OF THE CASE Firstly,there is no doubt that Microsoft is quit successful in China.Because China is a very large market.Between 2002 and 2007,Microsoft sales and revenue grew more rapidly in the Greater China region than in andy other market in the world.But Microsoft also meet a lot of challenges,patent,piracy and political. From Microsoft itself,it is the world’s best.He gets the absolutely monopoly position.He draw up a lot of Supremacy clause.He wants to control the whole IT industy.This action just get the dislike of American people.In America,Microsoft gets a lot of strikes from many sides.But it seemed that his supremacy postion never changed.So when he entered Chinese market,he still carried out lots of aggressive strategies to control the whole Chinese IT market.That’s the reason why government,many firms,people want to agaist him. Government wants to protect home IT industry;companies want to make more profits;people want to spend the least and ues the best.That’s the reason why he will meet these kinds of challenages.Most of the legal copy need to spend more than one thousand RMB,so many Chinese users just use the pirate.Although Microsoft try to use more technical means to ptevent this tort.But Chinese hackers can still crack the code of the system.Even though the pirate can’t update,users still want to use it because of the cheap price.In this case,Microsoft didn’t do enough investigations about the average consuming ability of Chinese people.In my opinion,China now is still a developing country,the people now don’t have the concept of copy right.This problem just ralated to a nation’s legal system. In the final analysis,there are such phenomena emerge in Chinese market due to the original reason is that there is a very big bug exits in Chinese legal system.If the laws about protecting IP、antitrust、anti-unfair competition can be profected,and there are laws to abide

    Just because a company has been successful in other large countries with big markets, does not mean that they have what it takes to succeed everywhere. Being able to change a product range, or the way a service is provided to the consumer needs to be carried out in order to do well in China. Take for example Starbucks coffee, what Starbucks did right in China is a perfect example of how food brands can succeed despite rising labour and real estate costs, and increased competition on the Mainland. Instead of trying to force onto the market the same products that work in the U.S, such as whip cream-covered frozen coffee concoctions, Starbucks developed flavours (such as green tea-flavoured coffee drinks) that appeal to local tastes. This change in the products that Starbucks offer is the reason why people in china bought into the Starbucks chain, by seeing products that they would normally drink, and having drinks made to their own needs and wants Starbucks was able to cater precisely to what they wanted by doing research into what would work well. As well as the products, Starbucks also changed the way in which the consumers actually got their drinks. Rather than pushing take-out orders, which account for the…

    A: There are two major risks that Microsoft has faced in operating in China. Firstly, after China joined WTO. Although Chinese government taks some actions for its IPR, especailly for foreign compnies, the rate of piracy still not decreasing a lot. So the Microsoft’s risk is need to dealing with the government of China, to decreasing the piracy rate of Microsoft business in China. Secondly, the Microsoft faced another risk is nationalism in China, it could leads to people and firms relutant to buy foreign products, and do business with foreign companies. It is not good for Microsoft’s security and independence in China. These risks are diminishing in the future. The reason of this is Microsoft already opened another international company in Shanghai, and Microsoft also opened market of Windows XP, MSN, and Vista in China. China becomes a large international market for Microsoft in the world. These risks are present in other developing countries. Piracy rate is higher than developed countries because the piracy products are cheap. The individuals of countries would like to buy local products than international products. For these two major risks, Microsoft also need to faced in other developing countries…
