Editor's Notes
- #3 Allow slide to remain for a bit until audience can review and get names
- #11 -Thank you, Colin -I will now discuss with you the trends in the PC market and where we were, where we are now, and where we are headed
- #12 - In the 1990s, the Internet and new multimedia applications were the driving forces for the industry -At this time, competition among PC makers was rather high in order to keep up with demand, which drove PC prices downward as they began to saturate the market -In the early 2000s, the demand for laptop computers began to drive the computer market -In the late 2000s, other devices, such as smartphones and tablets, gained popularity and offered competition in the PC market -They offer similar features as PCs, such as the Internet and applications, however, they are smaller, which makes them more portable, and many times, more interactive than PCs -This provokes the notion that smartphones and tablets could be considered to be replacements for PCs, as many tablets have keyboard hook-ups, and for some individuals, the Internet capability on a smartphone may be sufficient to fulfill their computing needs -This is something our company should take into account and this will be discussed further by my colleagues later in our presentation
- #16 -This graph represents the number of computers that have been in use in the United States over a 20-year timeframe. -As you can see, computer usage in the United States has steadily increased, and it is projected to continue to increase in 2015. -This is good news for our industry because while there may be an influx of competing technologies, demand for computer usage should continue to rise overall
- #17 -This graph displays Dell’s overall PC sales in comparison to the total U.S. PC sales from 1997 to 2014 -As you can see, between the years of 2000 and 2001, overall PC sales in the U.S. declined -However, during this timeframe, Dell continued to increase its market share and make a profit -Although the market was saturated at this time, we were able to excel in large part due to our efficient production and distribution system and the rise in Internet usage and online shopping -As you know, our company was revolutionary to the computer industry when we entered the market due to the fact our PCs were made-to-order -Therefore, an increase in Internet usage and online shopping was beneficial for our company
- #18 -Dell was revolutionary to the computer industry because its PCs were the first to be made-to-order; they were developed after receiving the customers’ orders, instead of being built according to forecasted demand. -Additionally, Dell’s PCs were shipped directly from Dell to the consumer, eliminating distributors entirely. -This direct sales approach was extremely beneficial, as it allowed us to differentiate ourselves with its competitors and allow for greater flexibility in pricing. -Furthermore, we had fewer returns from customers because customers were able to order precisely what they wanted
- #19 -This graph displays Dell’s PC sales in comparison to HP’s PC sales for the same timeframe: 1997 to 2014 in order to provide a reference with one of our main competitors -As you can see, in comparison to HP, our growth was much greater until around 2009, when HP surpassed our sales and has continued this trend through present time -With increased competition, Dell no longer provides the lowest cost for PCs -Demand for high-end PCs is now increasing, so our company may want to focus on this segment of the market in our future
- #20 -We need to continue to be the innovative brand we have been since our inception in order to drive demand and surpass our competitors once again -Now, I will turn our presentation over to my colleague Rachit, who will explain our market research.
- #47 -Good afternoon, thank you, Colin for your kind introduction -The computer industry has changed a great deal over the years as technology advances and the advent of the Internet have greatly affected the demand for PCs
