The Dellification Of Business
from the not-so-easy dept
For years people have been talking about how various business models would "change the world", and how if you didn't change to follow you would be dead meat as well. A lot of those seemed to fall by the wayside, but here's an article suggesting that Dell's business model really is the one you should follow. They point out that despite Dell's success, no one else has been able to replicate their business model - but that's mainly because of legacy channel issues. As Clayton Christensen likes to suggest - for companies to really revolutionize their business, they need to have a completely separate division rebuild their own business. Definitely an interesting read.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
