Overview
In the 1990s Dell was one of the most successful computer companies in the world, with an annual turnover of $30 billion. It was a pioneer in its distribution capability and sold its products directly to consumers. In addition, their supply chain drove further efficiencies like none other in the industry.
However, Dell has seen a massive declines in recent years, so much so, that Michael Dell has recently bought the company back to try and regain their entrepreneurial spirit.
In this seminar, we will initially explore their direct distribution model and what made them successful. Thereafter, we will look at their supply chain and how they were able to meet customer needs more effectively then competitors.
Thereafter, we will look at what has changed in the environment that has caused their decline and determine the outlook for the future of Dell.

The background to Dell
Michael Dell started trading in the belief that by selling personal computer systems directly to customers, PC's Limited could better understand customers' needs and provide the most effective computing solutions to meet those needs. Michael Dell dropped out of school in order to focus full-time on his fledgling business, after getting about $300,000 in expansion-capital from his family.
