How DELL KILLED the IBM MONOPOLY? : Dell vs IBM Case Study 

“Look at the Passion that this guy had, way back in 1982, barely at age of 17, this guy skipped school to visit the national computer conference to understand the computer industry properly..” 💯

Dell has been a success ,no doubt about that . But after years of success , they have been making low level products which are less durable. They have been following the principle of " quantity over quality" at present times. Lenovo has been in a better situation regarding these things. Ganesh Anna , love your case studies . Thank you so much for educating us . Think school will be the biggest digital school of India .

Im a fan of Dell, have been using Dell products past 25 years, one experience i would like to share. Server AMC resolution time is 4 hrs after issue has been identified, once one of the server hard disk failed, dell diagnosed it and identifed the issue and said it will be replaced in 4 hours, i was expecting it would be done only next day, no way they can do it, to my surprise, everything was arranged. Engineer came from one location, hdd was shipped from warehouse, and as promised, resolved in 4 hours, thats when i picked up "Direct from Dell" and read about how they manage it, this was during 1990's. Love you Dell ❤️

Every successful business strategy has one thing in common. "Robust supply chain" supply chain can make or break the business if not handled well. Be it Amul, Dell, Toyota, Ford, Maggie case studies you have done recently all have had a very well set up supply chain that kept them ahead of competition 💯💯

Make a video on how we (Indian youths) can solve this semi conductor issue… what can we do? What should we learn? Not just this semi conductor industry, explain how Indian youths can participate in making India an industrial economy… what are things required to start a factory, etc

“A 2 billion dollar dream” A chapter in class 12th English book has been my fav till date. It is based on a guy who use to buy IBM computer and modify it and sell it in his car trunk when he was just 19 years old, He came up with an idea of providing 24/7 customers care telephone service to his customer. Michael Dell founder and CEO of Dell Technologies.

Best case study made by you, make such more, waiting for your latest videos and supporting think school more than a year. Very detailed and all accurate and trusted information, no exaggeration or click baits, that is what separates your video from other videos. Love to work with you as a future buddy. I want to be a part of such an auspicious and forever prospering channel with such detailed studies.

Dell killed IBM by introducing mini computers category which they can be first in. So they got attention. So if you want to be against a big company introduce a new category which you can be first in.

As always you picked a classic case study to present... But more than the Case Study it's your words that inspires me from within... Thank you for everything 🙂

Thankyou so much for your efforts you put in making these case studies and making it simple to understand. Also to add, graphics has improved a lot over the time. Keep Growing!!!

I have been watching your from some time. I feel this is one of your best! We all get a chance to learn something from each of your videos. Thank you!

Bro, I like your videos and you are just superb. I am a CA and come from finance background. I like to do lot of research. I like the way you do research. I am learning the way you present and talk.

IBM's Revenue in 2020 : $73.6 Billion Dell's Revenue in 2020 : $92.154 Billion Not a big gap though? But appreciable how Dell surpassed IBM in just 14 years!!

You nailed it again Did a presentation on Dell during MBA days, hope Think school had been then, could have reduced my work from weeks to days 😀. Waiting a case study on Zest 😂.

Thanks for the amazing 🤩 business case study on Dell and also the book recommendation (Direct from Dell). In addition to the recommended book, Michael Dell just released his new book sometime back called "Play nice but win" which can also be of great read. Thanks once again for the amazing business case study. Can't wait for the next one. Keep inspiring through your business case studies, Thinkschool team. :-)

I have had the privilege of working at both Dell and IBM ❤️❤️❤️❤️also had the opportunity to meet with Michael Dell in close proximity and with Sam Palmisano and Ginni Rometty

Feels amazing listening to this while working for Dell itself

What I like most when watching your videos is the way Ganesh Prasad speaks it sounds so pleasant and clear to listen, your style of speaking never bores me infact it adds zing into your video, great job thankyou for the case study you presented keep making more videos.

"Think School" is a Pure gem to the people 😌.I will be excited after getting notified from this channel it makes to feel that I am going to learn (not studying) something beyond the mountain 💫

Love this video(commenting after dozens of videos)

Man you conveted me from a subscriber to a loyal fan, being a marketer myself you always need to think above and beyond to beat the market leaders and watching your case study gives me valuable insights on how simple things can make you world class in what you do, just like by doing simple case studies you become a world class marketer, story teller and a big youtuber. kudos to you once again 😍

Brilliant Case Study Brother

One thing about Dell is eventually they were able to undercut the builders (myself being one of them back in the days). I used to build much better custom systems for my customers at less cost but once Dell got the costs down to where it was no longer profitable to 'build them', I started buying Dell's for my customers (albeit inferior to the systems I had been building in the past). There was a hitch as those low cost Dells we're hardly upgradable and cut corners with some 'mickey mouse' stuff which meant they had a reduced usable lifetime (aka: disposable computers). Not bad for my business but not good for customers as they tended to hold on to those systems way beyond that 'stunted' useful lifetime. Generally, I don't buy Dells for myself (personal systems). However, they were ahead of the game on supporting Linux on their server lines which made them the 'go to' for servers running linux and Dell has good support for Linux. However, this is changing and this 'niche' is eroding. Like IBM, Dell is a company I suspect is a fading 'giant' and really Lenovo has the edge. IBM is remaking itself and Dell will have to do the same before it's too late. Ironically, much of the 'on-site' support in the 90's I got from Dell were outsourced to IBM service people. I suspect Dell will need to get off the x86 processor monopoly or their fate will be tied to failing to diversify and will be undercut by less expensive ARM and possibly RISC-V power efficient alternatives. Dell is too tied to MS Windows and even MS has embraced Linux as Azure is their 'cash cow' now and lumbering into ARM and we're getting to the point that the Linux desktop for the masses it's mature and the Windows monopoly will become a problem for this hardware company. Note: Dell does sell Laptops with Linux preinstalled but on the high end.... despite Linux usually entering in the recycle end (aka: EOL systems where Windows can't be upgraded and still be a useable system). This is a problem as Dell's desktops often die after the first 4 years (aka: disposable systems) and use cost cutting 'junk parts' that have no long time support. AKA: not good for small businesses or countries looking to 'move away' from the MS monopoly and reduce costs without losing productivity.

I subscribed his channel when there is 1k sub. Approx. And I never regret while watching his video the kinda effort he puts in his video . Just amazing and congratulations.🥰

Hello Think School, You are really great at your research. It's such an amazing content. would definitely like to see more of such content. How about a topic on the NFTs and metaverses. The topic is taking a lot of attention of the world, and it would be great if you can put your great research to such a futuristic topic.

Thank you so much Ganesh Anna🙏🙏

I really really thank you for a such a great content. 🙏

I wrote a comment in previous video to make a case study on Michael dell. I assuming after watching this video that ganesh read that comment and make case study on this topic. Can my assumption is right ganesh or not?? Waiting for your reply..... Wonderful case study. Keep entertaining and teaching us😁

Thanks again for the best content. I would request you to make same episode on Manpower hiring or staffing solutions organizations.

I had always been a fan of Dell and their amazing after sales service. Never thought the man behind this amazing company was a young guy fuelled by such crazy Passion 🔥. All in all, a legend. Thanks for killing IBM monopoly Michael Dell🤩🖤

Love from Pune ❤️, You are Amazing 🔥

Proud to be part of DELL organization from last 8yrs.

Watching this on dell laptop I bought 6 years ago😎😎

I always learn something new from your amazing case studies & i'm sure 98% of your subscribers always learn something new like me ... thank you so much Ganesh...

Ganesh sir gave us 3 lessons. But inspite of them you can also learn some more things from video. 1st from the case study we can also conclude that we should segment our market as much as we can and hire experts to sell that perticular market. And second thing we can learn for the videos sponsors that how to Target customers. Think schools teaches us the business lessons. So a person who want to become an entrepreneur is was watching think school videos. Now in future if viewer wants to start business but unable to collect enough amount of money, they can go to the zest app and simply split bill into 3 parts. And pay in installments. By the way ganesh sir, i love your videos. Keep making such videos and make us more and more knowlegdable.

Amazing content.👏👏👏 My free advise is to change the template of the video, as it was not made to watch at the first moment. It isn't got my focus.

Present Buddy♥♥ Loved it ♥♥ Thank you for your efforts ♥ Ye Dil Maange More♥

Slow speed were highlighted pointed,love u Ganesh

Very Nice !

Well, I work at Dell, and many from across the teams are already recommending this video.

Thank you bro 🙏

Maaaan you never fail to amaze

Would love to see a series on failure stories too.

Sir please make video on how Ratan Tata transform JLR 🏎️ from a loss 📉making company to a really profitable📈 one.🙏🙏

The common thing that I see in most success stories is improvement in supply chain

Great content bhai..!!

This guy is a gem 🔥

Great work. Can you analyze BAPS swaminarayan temple if you have data and information. How they became so big and are opening new temples looking even better then Taj Mahal in every major cities.

I Still have the First XPS laptop Dell launched in India. Thou It's old, but still works. That too with remote control.

The most interesting case study.

Please make a video on how you make such a classic case studies ,please

Worth watching

Thank you so much for such great videos... I was curious about how Bata became a household name in India, and has a brand value recall for being an indian company. Atleast majority of people whom I asked, including myself thought it was an Indian company.

Make a video on construction, infrastructure and real-estate industry please

Ranbir Kapoor's Rocket Singh - Salesman of the year seems to be inspired from this.
