Abstract: By following its Dell Direct or Low-Cost PC Model, Dell became the number one seller of personal computers. For its services business, Dell went on to duplicate the model and the business posted a profit of $3.7 billion with a 30% growth rate in 2005. The company was confident that the model was successful for its services business and analysts expected this business to double in size by 2010. However, critics were sceptical about the future of Dell's services business and the applicability of the model. |
