MICROSOFT’S INTENSIVE
STRATEGIES
• Market Penetration
• Product Development
• Market Development
• Diversification
• Tech Intensity Strategy
MARKET
PENETRATION
Market penetration is the primary
intensive strategy that Microsoft
uses to grow its business. This
intensive growth strategy involves
selling more products to the
markets where the company
currently has operations.
PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT
Microsoft Corporation uses product
development as a secondary intensive
growth strategy. This intensive strategy
facilitates growth based on the
development and sale of new products.
MARKET
DEVELOPMENT
Market development is a
supporting intensive growth
strategy that has considerable
but minimal impact on
Microsoft’s current business
performance. Market
development supports
business growth through the
firm’s entry into new
markets.
DIVERSIFICATION
Microsoft Corporation considers

diversification as a supporting intensive
growth strategy. In this intensive strategy,
the company grows by developing new
businesses.
TECH INTENSITY
STRATEGY
Focus on ‘tech intensity’ can be mentioned as a
recent addition to the business strategy of Microsoft.
The term ‘tech intensity’ can be described as “a
fusion of cultural mindset and business processes
that rewards the development and propagation of
digital capabilities that create end-to-end digital
feedback loops, tear down data silos and unleash
information flows to trigger insights and
predictions, automated workflows and intelligent
services.”
At the same time, it has been noted that “as
encouraging as the buzzword “tech intensity”
sounds, it is not about empowering others for the
sake of its own advancement.” Instead, the actual
and ultimate goal behind company’s ‘tech intensity’
idea is to make Azure world’s computer, by adding
increasing numbers of companies into this platform.

aspects and embrace opportunities. Few recommendations are given below in

less vulnerable to cybercrime.
•Resolve the cybersecurity issues and address the global cyber thefts by
