followed by an internal and external factor analysis. This is accompanied by a TWOS matrix allowing thereport to pin point specific strategies which may help the organization cash on its strength andopportunities to offset threats. An overview of the life cycle of the industry is followed by a PESTanalysis. Understanding the political factors is critical and along with the location principles explained inthe first section allows us to pin point some strategic direction for the company. Similarly the economicsocial and technological factors are discussed for the industry and the implications for Dell on a strategiclevel. A competitive analysis with other names in the industry is done through a product positioning mapon the factors of price and customization.
Overview of product and size
Dell became the leading PC Vendor of the world in 2001. One of the most unique proposition of Dell isthe by passing of reseller through a direct to final buyer strategy. This accounts for 90 percent of its salesleading to the reporting of higher profitability and revenues for the company. This direct to buyer resultsin a consumer intensive strategy is called by many as the key to the success of Dells model of business(Kraemer, et al., 2000). The direct relationship with consumers not allows for reduced costs, betterinventory decisions and increased revenues but also allows for a better understanding of what thecustomer requires. The PCs are therefore built to the exact specifications as required by the customer.This is a sharp contrast to the conventional model of PCs which are based on vendors who make attemptsto predict the demands of the market. This built to order strategy helps Dell in multiple fronts, reducingoverheads and increasing return on investments at the same time as allowing for a better understanding ofthe market and consumer needs. This specific strategy comes with several complications in operations.The operations need to make sure that all parts and components are quickly available so that customizedconfigurations can be handled quickly. The capabilities of production and logistics of supplies must beoptimized in order to make sure that there are quick turnarounds and orders are processed efficiently.
The requirements of such an operations means there is an interesting structure of logistics. There is afocus on outsourcing of activities which are non strategic while the emphasis is laid down on key strategicareas. There is a relationship intensive strategy with partners who provide the components and elementsof the Personal Computers so as to provide value added products. The actual production network of Dell
is spread around the world ranging from America, Europe to Asia. Some of the production cycles areoutsourced to other manufacturers. There is also a reliance on the supply of several components such asCD ROMs and Disk Drivers to outsiders. Partnership with software providers such as Office also allows itto further increase the value of final product. Outside partners are also used for installation, repairs on thesite and integration of the overall systems. Resellers are used for recommendation of the product toconsumers.
Locations
The location factor of Dell is critical to the effectiveness of its built to order model. The basic decisive
factor in choosing a location is to understand how costs can be minimized, built to order models can beextended and direct sales can be maximized around the world with minimum time and maximumcustomer satisfaction. Specific locations and their selection depend upon labor rates in an area, thetransportation infrastructure, political barriers and the closeness to high demand areas.
The headquarters originally was in Austin Texas, where the company was formed. Manufacturing unitsexist in Tennesse as well. Currently the manufacturing units in America are limited to these two areas.Brazil has a manufacturing unit of Dell in Eldorado do Sul. This location point was decided on the basisof the need to supply the South American market. There were also political factors such as the avoiding oftarrifs because of the choice of location. The European, Middle Eastern and African market are combinedas one sector the headquarters of which is based in the UK. Ireland is used for a production unit because

of the tax incentives available over there (Loughran, 2000). Logistic hubs and technical support units arealso deployed around the continent.
Manufacturing units are placed strategically in the Asia-Pacific region as well. Malaysia because of itsappropriate labor rates, political incentives and closeness to suppliers were chosen as the central location.Production units are placed around the continent including one in China with close suppliers in Taiwan.
Hierarchy
The organizational hierarchy can be seen as follows:-
Vision, mission, goals and objectives
Vision
Its the way we do business. Its the way we interact with the community. Its the way we interpret theworld around usour customers needs, the future of technology, and the global business climate.Whatever changes the future may bring, our visionDell Visionwill be our guiding force
The vision statement is able to put forward one of the most important principles behind the operations ofDell. The industry that Dell operates in is one of the most dynamic and ever changing one in theinternational market. Fluctuation of technology and consumer demands mean that change is the only
constant. This is why the lack of prediction leads to the vision statement which focuses on theinterpretation of strategy through consumer needs, technology trends and international business climate.
Mission Statement
Dells mission is to be the most successful Computer Company in the world at delivering the bestcustomer experience in markets we serve. In doing so, Dell will meet customer expectations of:
Highest quality
Leading technology

Individual and company accountability
Best-in-class service and support

Culture, Values and History
Dell has a highly customer centric culture. Founded by Michael Dell in 1984, the company was foundedto serve the customers directly with PCs that were able to meet specific needs. The company was namedPCs limited at that time. There has been one belief that has always driven the organization right from the
beginning which is to be completely consumer focused to the point that they are able to incorporatecustomized requirements during ordering processes. The company was able to go public within 4 years.Dell made its entry into the laptop market in 1991 marking an aggressive growth rate in the followingyears becoming one of the top 5 computer companies of the world. Dell believes in high turnoversolutions which are also available on their website. A technology savvy culture with a focus on consumerneeds drives the operations and initiatives at the company. Another driving factor for Dell has beendelivering the computers directly to consumers. This build to order strategy has removed the middle man,increasing turnovers and decreasing costs for all parties involved. This allows Dell to sell at a highlycompetitive rate as compared to the competition. It is this consumer driven culture, innovative values andcost optimization that sets Dell apart (Dell, 1999).
Company Culture as cited by the companys website (www.dell.com) includes
Meritocracy: Making sure that employees are rewarded for doing a good job in order to enforcebetter performance and motivate the human resource in meeting measurable objectives
Direct Relationships:Focuses on a relationship intensive strategy internally and externallymaking sure that the environment is based on two way communication
Empowerment:One of the most crucial factors of an innovative company is empowerment.Highly employee participation culture is seen at Dell.

Life cycle of the firms industry
Stage 1: Development of the Product
The first stage of the life cycle is marked by a research intensive and secretive process. The more theinnovation in a PC company, such as apple, the more investment goes into the research process. Codename are usually utilized without naming it till its developed completely
Stage 2: Announcement of the ProductThis stage is not to be mixed with the actual product introduction stage. The purpose is to bring the mediaand big guns to an event and announce what will be coming through in the near future. The product doesnot always reach its final shape at the time of announcement of the product.
Stage 3: Introduction of Product
The introduction of the product is the stage when the final product is ready to be delivered to theconsumers. At the time of announcement, the supply of the product is not that high and expensive in order

to hit big profits. At this point of time, a new product is also started to be developed which means Stage 1of a future product starts at the Stage 3 of the new product.
Stage 4: Maintenance
It is during this stage of the life cycle that the price starts decreasing and the supply increases gettingeven with the actual demand in the market. The products will be send to all major sales point of Dellaround the world at a lower cost than before. It is at this stage of the new product that the future product is
announced.
Stage 5: Retirement
Since Dell operates in a highly technological environment, changes and advancement are frequent whichresults in a relatively quicker retirmenet of products. This is now replaced by the introduction of the
product which incorporates new technology.
Identification of environmental changes
Political Factors:
The political factors include legislature, government regulations and other restrictions/provisions ofpolitical nature. This directly implicates the conditions under which Dell has to operate. Political factorshave caused certain restraints from time to time because of the political instability. Some of the politicalfactors include the ones that come as a direct result of signing of World Trade Organizations. Marketaccess is one such factor. For example, Texas and Malaysia, two of the top choices for Dell in the regionare central to U.S Tennesse and to Asia Pacific respectively. Ireland, another hub of Dell, is in close
proximity to United Kingdom, Germany and france. Tarriff free access to markets are one of the biggestpolitical incentives to Dell. Political changes which cause an impact on market access and their conditions
can have consequences on pricing strategy of Dell as well as supply choices. Political incentives such astax holidays provided by Malaysia are another such political factor. Low corporate taxes, financialincentives, land support and per capita grants per employee are other such factors which contribute to the
political dynamics of the operating environment for Dell.
Economic
The economic situation around the world, in specific regions have a direct impact on two things. A) Thechanging economic situation and landscape has a direct impact on the pricing strategy and profit marginof Dell and B) Economic turmoils such as the one faced right now by the world decreases consumer
power to buy the Dell products. Currency fluctuation and Changes in Oil prices are another factor whichcauses strong disruption in pricing models of Dell. Strong dependency on foreign supply means these twofactors become all the more critical.
Social
Demand for computers has a strong dependency on several social factors. One of the most critical of thesesocial factors is the level of education that prevails within a country. Higher education standards lead tostrong demand for the PCs around the globe.

TECHNOLOGICAL
Technological changes in environment include the advancement of components, more efficient parts,internet access, newer ways to market the product and the pace at which products keep getting smaller andfaster. This change in speed and size is central to the changes that are required on a regular basis by Dellin order to keep up with the business environment.

Strategic group map competition
Product Positioning Map
HP: HP is the closest competition to Dell. With a strong advantage over Dell in the segment of Printers,it has an edge on that front. On the other hand Dell continues to have an edge in terms of its competitive
price over HP. The weakness, however, remains in the printer segment infront of HP (Schmid and Kelber2005).
IBM:
Dell and IBM do not have conflicting target market segments. However, IBM seems to have a betterpenetration into the Asian market as well as better access to cheaper wage rates. One of the mostimportant competitive edge for IBM is the server market (Schmid and Kelber, 2005).
Apple Computers:
Apple is one of the most innovative firms in the PC market. Their target market is different from Dell aswell. They are more innovative and sell the products on premium prices. Leading edge design and lowvariety in products are the features of Apple.
Note: The product positioning is based on customization and cost. Customization is seen as the variety inproduct portfolio as well as the customizable specifications within one product.

RecommendationsRecommendations for strategy implementation
Dells strategy has been focused on building computers that can be ordered by consumers through astrong internal capability of manufacturing and quick inventory turnarounds. This build to order strategyhas been the differentiating factor for Dell for the past few decades. The removal of the middle man givesit high margin in direct sales as well as provides low costs to its consumers. One of the strong strategicadvantages for Dell has been its ability to adapt to changes. As an employer Dell has focused on a strongrelationship with employees, focusing on their motivation, well being, reward strategy and empowerment
strategy. Its strategic supply chain management, data integration with suppliers, relationship intensiveapproach and integrating physical store sales with online sales has made sure Dell continues to grow at anexceptional rate.
The following are recommended as strategic line of action for Dell
1. An involvement in CSR activities including a Green Campaign for collection of old PCs/electronicequipment for recycling/disposition in an environmental friendly way. This will lead to better imagein the society as well as sustainable development and cost efficiency in the long term
2. A series of internal marketing efforts to maintain a highly innovative culture within the organizationfor a re enforcement of its employer values for high performance management and employee
participation.
3. Venture into R&D partnership with an established company sharing intellectual resources and thehardware infrastructure of Del for development of technology savvy products for future.
4. Building more manufacturing plants around the world and specifically in the US. Global expansionshould be met with region specific capacity building as well as to reduce supply chaincosts/complications and dependency on external factor
5. Internal capacity building for the development of printer products in order to cut down its costs,increase quality and increase market share in competition to HP.
Conclusion
The industry of personal computers, laptops and related hardware is one which evolves continuously. Theresult of globalization, political incentives and technological advances can be seen on a regular basis. Thismeans that a reassessment of strategy for all the players in the industry is important in order to keep therespective competitive advantage going. Dells structure allows for efficiency, cost optimization,customer relationship intensive strategies and optimum supply chain. This report assessed the strategicdirection that Dell has been taking on the basis of its external environment and internalcapabilities/limitations. Through TWOS, PEST, positioning maps and internal/external key factorevaluation, the report came up with a five point recommendation focusing on research and development,
production plants, internal capability development, high performance management and corporate socialresponsibility.
