Essay About Dell Computer Corp

One of the most successful corporations that manufactures computers is Dell Corporation. The success of this corporation is closely related to the success story of Michael Dell, the founder of the company.

Michael Dell was a prodigy kid which attempted at the age of 8 to graduate high school, and had his own auction before the age of 18. All the way he showed a fascination with commerce and business propositions, and that would bring him the enormous success he now enjoys. By the time he turned 18, Michael Dell set out to outsmart IBM and build a company more successful than any other computer manufacturing company in the world.

He was a freshman at the University of Texas in Houston when he began a lucrative business based on selling upgraded computers. Except for commerce Michael Dell really loved computers. He combined the two, and the combination was a real breakthrough. Michael Dell had a new policy, however: building a relationship with the customers.

In 1984, Michael Dell founded the company Dell Corporation Company, the company that provides computing products and services to the client. Dell explained the success of his company by saying that the most important thing is to have a serious organizational culture and to unite all those who work for you around a common goal, to make them feel they are part of something big and special, which is the case here.

By the time he built the company, Dell had a capital of $1,000. He was 19. He left the university after the inception of this business and dedicated his entire time and resources to the success of this endeavor. Seven years later he made it to Fortune 500, as the all times youngest CEO of a corporation.

Once Dell company started, it went on very well, and sky was the limit (almost literally in his case). In 1987 Dell established its first subsidiary overseas, in the United Kingdom. A year later Dell brings its capitalization to the amount of $85 million.

In 1991 Dell took a leap of faith by converting its entire product line to use Intel 486 microprocessors. That labeled Dell as the company that takes the risks and wins, at the same time bringing to the customer the latest technological achievements.

It doesn’t come as such a surprise then that in 1992 Dell increases its profits by 127%. “Liquidity, profitability and growth” became in 1993 the company’s motto. In 1996, Dell became the third server vendor in the world with its PowerEdge server line.

Another break is the Latitude notebook with a battery that broke all records in longevity. In 1998 Dell becomes the number two manufacturer of personal computers in the world. After one year, the company becomes number one in the United States. Michael Dell’s dream of beating IBM finally came true.

In a few years, Dell became one of the most important laptop manufacturers, and it is present on the market of cell phones and cutting edge iPhones, too.
