The first stakeholder I’m going to evaluate is customers which are external stakeholders. Customers contribute to profit through purchasing their products and providing loyal support to all their goods. People are stakeholders in a company for financial reasons; Microsoft’s customers don’t want to be paying an excessive amount for their goods. If a rival company, such as Apple, produce cheaper products than their customers may loose all interest in Microsoft and may move onto them.
Microsoft will only survive if they have loyal customers. Microsoft will ensure that they have regular customers through sales and discounts on their products throughout all their sellers. Microsoft will also want to bring new customers to increase profit, to do this Microsoft will place advertisements everywhere, from TV adverts to online adverts.
