12 Q.3. Beside selling direct, what other programs has Dell created that give it a competitive advantages It provides basic technical support & customer can upgrade this basic by purchasing one of four higher level support. Dell offers deployment service to organizations to configure & deploy Dell systems, both hardware & preinstalled software. Dell offers additional services to maintain and manage Dell systems once they have been deployed. 12

13 Q.4 Consider Dell’s recent financial troubles A. What are the implications of the company’s tactics when revenue falls 63% but sales fall only 23%? The implications of the company tactics was that Dell should mark-up the pricing of all the products its sell to increased the revenue but at the same time, value added feature should be introduced such as online helpdesk to assist customers. Sales can be increased by doing aggressive marketing through the electronic channel such as TV and Dell’s website. 13

14 Q.4-b Intel sells CPUs and memory, and its sales have stabilized. Dell & HP make computers, and their sales continue to decline. Assume the sales of other PC manufacturers are similar to those for Dell & HP. What do you conclude? In my opinion Dell & HP should diverse their manufacturing & sales to include CPUs & memory, due to customers now days prefer to upgrade their computers & Laptop then buying new PC/laptop, being the reason it will only cost them a fraction compare to buying a new PC. 14
