Business Model of DELL
Dell Business Model with three elegantly simple, but ultimately powerful
concepts:
Direct Selling---- absent intermediaries, from the manufacturer to a final
customer
Customization
Dell’s response to the Internet revolution
The Direct Model
• “Configure to order” approach to manufacturing delivering
individual PC’s
• Computer literate sales persons were employed
• Each system was assembled according to the preference of
customers
• To maintain quality level at par inventory was reduced and
PC’s were produced as per the orders received
• Dell decided to reduce inventory with information,
suppliers were given the access to the company’s internal
data
• The internet proved to be a boon for the model and to Dell
• Transactions were facilitated directly through their
websites

distribution
CASH: Dell maintains a negative cash conversion cycle
means the payment receive for product before it has to
pay for material.
COST:
1. Dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has
achieved superior performance in the PC industry in
terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash
conversion, and return on investment
2. Bypassing the reseller channel that causes further cost
reduction to company.

Cont…
CRM: Direct customer relationship is the key to Dell’s
business model, and provides distinct advantages over the
indirect sales model.
DEMAND FORECAST: Dell additional advantages over
indirect PC vendors who must try to forecast demand and
ship products based on those forecasts.

With 290 subsidiaries, more than 100 distributors off-group and 42 plants, all
spread out in about 130 countries, L’Oreal is the leader of the cosmetic
industry. The group has begun its internationalization in 1912 by following
three steps:
• First landing
• Go native
• Globalization
“first landing” - first, commercialization of
professional shampoos to hair-dressers
via distributors in near Europe (Spain,
Italy, Great Britain, Germany and
Poland) and in the Americas.
“go native“ - second, local firms are taken
over for example in the USA (Redken
1993, Maybelline 1996 etc.), in
Argentina (Miss Ylang 2000)
“globalization” - third, subsidiaries
(production, research and development)
are directly created (Greenfield
investment) without any first passage
via distribution. It is the case in Asia
(Japan and Hong Kong)
