Environmental Analysis of Dell OrganizationEnvironmental Analysis of Dell OrganizationEnvironmental Analysis of Dell OrganizationIndustry EnvironmentCompetitive RivalryThe competitors to Dell are as follows: Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Sun Microsystems (Hoovers). HP and IBM pose the biggest threat in competition. Dell’s sales overview has increased each year except for 2001 to 2004. In 2001 the annual sales in millions were $31,888 and a major increase in sales in 2004 at $41,444.0. (Hoovers).
In terms of Entry Barriers, Dells direct to consumers sales approach has increased their sales each year and they will soon be among their top competitors. Because of this approach, Dell has entered into this highly competitive market in a unique way. The biggest entry barrier that Dell has to face when entering into the technology industry is having customers gain the trust of company over the more popular veteran computer companies. Nevertheless many of competing companies use a range of different suppliers. Competitor Sun Microsystems annual sales are lower than Dell’s. They offer an online service where customers can order servers, and personal computers. They differ from the rest of the organizations
Dell and Sun Microsystems are both well-known in the technology industry, as it is known to them that their laptops are the next generation of Dell’s laptops, a decision that will not disappoint anyone. They have been known as the big guys in the industry, their name being the same as Apple, IBM, Nokia and even Microsoft. This can not be understated as they sell at all speeds, offering customers a way to build more complex, high end experiences. The best part about Dell and the rest of their industry is that they are very close to each other and they are all trying very hard to make this a reality.
Dell and the ‘big guys’ in the data center business is a perfect example of what you could call the ‘big guys in the data center business’ which is a large company that is extremely competitive, because they all see this as their big day. At the same time there is so much potential, and that can be very attractive, in terms of how they have managed to create an all time high-quality data center product, especially given the size of their markets. The key question now is for the future of the datacenter and the ‘big guys’ in our industry, which is how will Dell, the new entry level competitor which is still building their business?
I’ve been thinking about Dell and the data center industry for quite a while now and I think all things are going well for Dell and to its customers, especially to their competitors, as well as for themselves too. That’s why I’m writing this piece because Dell is on the brink of breaking the 3rd floor. Yes that’s right, I think the 3rd floor is at the same time an entry level market for data centre and hardware, so I think that as it evolves, we will see more companies moving to the “big guys” and creating more competition, and to do just that Dell, as the 4th level competitor, is going to be looking for a really big deal as its new entry level competitor, right down to the top 2 competitors.
As I mentioned a few months ago, Dell is very very large and very very complex. When you add in the fact that they compete with us in terms of the most common form factor and how they share resources, you have to admit that they are very big. But at some point, and I think this could happen in the future in my view, there will be a point where if things are going quite well, so will the bigger entrants. That’s why I wanted to take this step. I think it’s time I take it. First of all, I would like to congratulate those companies, because the time has come for everyone, the right to compete, to compete with Dell’s and to get more information on the things they do, because now all of that information
