HP was developing the competitors that were according to the customer’s needs, customers really impressed by the new companies, and shifted from the dell to other brands.

Cost effectiveness of different companies, resulted in the less revenue. The cost-cutting strategies of other companies forced Dell to estimate their revenue; which was expected only 5.9% in 2006 and 7.8% in 2008. The retail stores were growing, the fact estimated was “one-trick pony”, from which other companies grow their profit and successful in making customers, they uses the trick to defeat the Dell, as they want to make maximum customers from the market. The customer were demanding more innovative products, company had instability and there were bad signs of low revenue.

Dell wanted to supply it product to all big retailers like wall mart, so people could easily buy Dell items from there. There were designing the best sales model, as it will allow the buyers to make the custom-build, and purchase the computer from online services. On the other hand, the competitors of Dell like HP also selling their technology direct to the retailers, to get the profitability and good will in market. Dell worked on each aspect to make it reputation and good will again in the markets but competitors are very strong, Dell is still focused on making effective plans that can lead them towards success, they are also focusing on their supply chain approach.
