Marketing Strategy
Segmentation• Backbone of Dell computers
• Based on segmentation, company takes its positioning and modifies its offerings for each segment’s customers.
“An Important element of virtual integration with customers is segmentation. The finer the segmentation, the better able Dell is to
forecast what customers are going to need and when. Then coordination of flow of strategic information comes to stage all the
way back to suppliers, effectively substituting information for inventory”
• Focusing on Personal Users– In the early 2000s, Dell attempted to diversify its
business by targeting personal consumers, such as families and students that needed to purchase computers
• Dell's Retail Strategy– In the fall of 2007, Dell announced partnerships
with major computer retailers, including Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Officeworks

Success Mantra – Michael Dell
• “When you get a business that changes very quickly, you get some of that naturally.”
• “You just have to change. To be successful, what you have to do is have an acceptance of risk and you have to be pretty explicit about that, because if you don’t accept risk, you don’t get any innovation. And that means part of risk is you have to accept failure because not everything works.”
Conclusion
“Be willing to take risks and change,” if you want to stay
successful
