Yeao.com October 18 Message Microsoft How to deal with the challenge of open source, managing whim Christensen made a seemingly absurd answer: investment in hand-held equipment. Harvard College Associate Professor Christensen is the author of the 1997 version of the "two difficulties" of innovators. The book describes why a good company will fail, because the company manager does not accept "fission" technology. Christensen said that participants participated in the future technical conference, open source is a significant division of Microsoft and the entire software industry. He said: The foundation of Linux is a new application, like a web server and handheld device. As these programs become better, the application will leave the desktop and turn to the Internet, which is a negative impact on Microsoft. He also said that by establishing a kind of separation of "killing Microsoft", Microsoft can respond to this market fission trend. If Linux has not responded to the end of the desktop of the handheld, Microsoft will miss the wave of new applications and market opportunities. Microsoft has admitted that open source software has made a profound challenge of Microsoft's business. Currently, Microsoft is unable to find a comment on the above views of Christensen. Christensen believes that when the company's enterprises follow mature plan management practices and listen to customer opinions, these companies usually fall from obstacles. He pointed out that in order to succeed, the company should not only contribute to users and continue to improve their current products. They should also establish new business departments to use new technologies, even if this new technology may be poor quality and low profit. For example, in the late 1980s, the equipment has grown sharply by selling microcomputer digital, and microcomputers are a simpler and low cost option. But when other companies began to occupy the market, Microsoft did not pursue this market for economic reasons: this is because PC provides a continuous low-profit margin, which does not meet the technical needs of the current microcomputer customers. In Microsoft cases, Linux applications on handheld devices is the threat to Microsoft Windows operating system sales business, and Windows business is the source of Microsoft's profit. Christense said that as calculations are increasingly internet, not the LAN (LAN) centered, the calculation tools are increasingly relying on Linux because this is brand new. He also pointed out that when people travel, people are increasingly leaving the laptops at home, and the user can rely on hand-held equipment, such as the BlackBerry (PDA) of Research In Motion.
