• It is relatively strong in Asia market, but still relatively weak in the West
• Cultural differentiation can be obstacles for Lenovo when breaking into the US market

motivate workers(Steve Jobs can make the task of designing a power supply feel like a mission from God)• Analysis of strength and weakness of every worker upon
entering the company • Secrecy of product development to gain advantages in

Why does Lenovo need to know about US market?• American consumers judge retail brands by how
they engage them Consumers want retailers to listen to their preference Lenovo has to collect opinions from this group of consumer
• Current US consumer is breaking traditional trend of in-shop purchasing, they are turning to online platforms now
Improve navigation for online purchasing websites Simple checkout process Presence of product image
American Consumers

Suggestion (Management policy)
• The 20% rule would be a great policy for all technology firms, especially when accompanied by peer competition
• Recruiting of more youths since they are usually more creative and prefer uniqueness. (20% rule would be great for attracting them)
• Support risk-taking and creativity by organising mini competitions for development of products or applications within the company
![Page 18: Management C onsultant for Lenovo](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815cc0550346895dcac5d1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Suggestion (marketing strategy 1)
• Wider use of social media as an extra platform to collect opinions
Easier accessibility into consumer’s opinions
Ability to collect opinions from different perspectives and consumers from around the world
A good platform for advertising
![Page 19: Management C onsultant for Lenovo](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815cc0550346895dcac5d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Suggestion (marketing strategy 2)
• Improve online purchase procedureConvenience is widely regarded now among many consumers such that they turn to the online platform for purchases instead. Ensuring the online tools are well maintained can be a boost to Lenovo’s sales
Better presentation of websites Lower shipping costs Presence of product image from different angles Online surveys to understand users’ shopping
experience and ensure that the different policies stay relevant

Suggestion (product strategy 1)• Following the birth of the SSD (solid state drive),
it has a great potential to replace traditional hard disk drives
SSD may be more expensive than traditional hard disk drives but they are more resilient to shocks with minimal mechanic parts
Higher performances compared to hard disk drives Faster start-ups, reading/writing speed, file transfer etc Uses half as much energy compared to hard disk drives With its high prices, it may not be attractive in PC market, but it
definitely has its future in the tables and smartphones market since memory consumption is much less and the price becomes more balanced. Currently, the only major technology firm which uses SSD widely is Apple, so Lenovo still has the chance to control the market by deploying SSD technology before other companies

In the long run?• Consider the aging population which will
revolutionize the entire market in the next decade
Quality of products and technology are key to the PC markets, but presentation of products should not be neglected either
Mature consumers complain that many tag labels of electronic products are too hard to see
Too complicated systems and functions Can Lenovo produce a gadget that take the older consumers into
consideration too? It would be good to start now so as to accumulate enough experience to combat the massive older consumer in the market after the next 50 years
Areas to consider: Packaging of products
