In early 2009, Microsoft started getting ready for the launch of its next OS, Windows 7. Effectively marketing Windows 7 had actually ended up being vital for the business, which had actually dealt with various obstacles in the last few years, consisting of a public and business relation failure of its last OS, Windows Vista. While Windows 7 had actually gotten strong pre-release evaluations, its success depended upon Microsoft's capability to get rid of the sticking around uncertainty and animosity of Windows Vista.
The case provides students with the chance to carry out an abundant analysis of the problems in introducing a brand-new item following the public and business relations failure of the predecessor and supplies a platform from which to check out the psychology (from both a customer and supervisory viewpoint) behind brand-new item adoption. The case is planned to encourage an analysis of Vista's relations failure utilizing a mental structure. Based upon this analysis, students are challenged to create a technique for the launch of Windows 7 and making choices associated with marketing interactions, rates, item, target audience option and brand name image.
