swot analysis on dell

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a "SWOT" anaylsis on Dell. It is visible to see that Dell has emerged as one of the top brands for computer demands.

DELL'S opportunity's are as follow:

*Maintaining and expanding the one stop shopping abilities that are offered to their customers.

*Continuing to market on the internet to gain larger market bases.

*Broadening their scopes in Europe, India and China.

*Expand into government and education markets.

DELL'S threats are:

*Increasingly popular brand names in the competition.

*Strong relationships that are held between competition and the retailers.

*Competition can basically create the same computers since
