Submitted by group 6

Questions 1 
IBM has always been the most powerful in the rising IT industry. A bold investment in the
first product line development of an integrated semiconductor chip and providing
modifiability of parts has led IBM to establish the effectiveness of the design for years to
come. In addition, IBM has produced a number of similar IT inventions IBM has been really
popular that as a result of its monopoly corporate practices, the US Justice Department has
prohibited monopolies by implementing the Anti-Trust Act. IBM's leadership strategy has
also inspired many people. The deep structural issues of IBM have been widely
acknowledged. Factors contributing to the problems also include:
• Becoming too out of touch with its client and distracted by inner turf wars.
• The transformation of lease option business to sales-oriented business made a significant
contribution to the deterioration of the IBM.
Question 2
Gerstner's strategy to disaster management was to position the consumer priority. In the first
few months, he went to visit customers experts and industry professionals to even get
feedback. Rather than trying to break up a company. Gerstner decided to turn it around by
entering the market as "one IBM." Going to make senior managers solely accountable for
their assigned client and responsible for any problems that arise. In addition, he hired a
number of experts to control costs, manage the troubles of PC brands and organise internal IT
organisation. In addition, due to frequent customer concerns, a customer relationship manager
and a dedicated sales and support team have been named for each main customer account.
Gerstner has done well as a turnaround manager, successfully introducing change in the
organisation. IBM's share price doubled as investors voted confidently to patch rather than
split up and sell IBM. Revenues grew to 5 billion through the close of 1994. Gerstner faced
several obstacles, including a group of people in the centre who didn't want to make a
transition. Many have found it difficult to function as a team as a multinational agency.

Question 4:
IBM has developed a strong international reputation for creativity. The company is hosting an
annual conference called the Global Innovation Outlook (GIO) which brings together the
world's top founders to discuss various innovation-related issues. Collaboration is an integral
part of the design process and through the convergence of knowledge, resources and
technology, all companies will start to develop a single product offer to their customers An
overview of the possible advantages of the benefits and of the most important potential
restrictions will be conducted. With the continuous and rapid progress in technology, both
businesses and customers are continually in need of change in the way they carry out their
duties. Such problems can vary from the effectiveness of a company communication system
to the operation of an emergency dispatch system. This is where creativity comes in; IBM is
one of the world's pioneers in innovation and growth strategies for different industries.
Innovation is particularly relevant for large organisations around the world; technological
advancements have been at an all-time high in recent years, and millions of people around the
world have faced challenges ranging from the efficiency of a data storage system to the
complicated problem of ensuring connectivity and immediate response times to air traffic
controlThese instances can be seen as economic opportunities; the organisation can formulate
a strategy that will act as a solution to all these problems; that is why businesses around the
world are investing heavily in research and development. In a company like IBM, the new is
a way of life; today the company is one of the world's leading suppliers of new technologies
and effectively meets the needs of customers globally and in all different industries. IBM
considers itself a youth company in several respects. The company has been really active in
developing new technology; over 4000 new technologies were launched last year by IBM,

Question 5:
Challenges faced by Sam:
 Intervention of significant value creation would call for the development of
companies to be searched at the level and scale of which most of the undertakings that
have not really been so well prepared and have the ability to deal with and meet the
required needs.
  To use the greatest and safest route to their capacities in order to ensure that the
circumstances of emergencies and hardware misuse do not cost the company a lot.

 To make the most of it and to make the client get the best of the administration, the
skill, the key innovation, and so on.
Despite the fact that it is difficult for an association to be innovative and furthermore, to be
able to carry out its tasks competently and adequately as it will have an impact on the costs
and income of the organisation, however as indicated by us Yes, the organisation can carry
out the two exercises together by making the best possible use of its assets and capabilities
and by recognising the potential of the organisation.
The only recommendation for the association is that they should make good progress and
carry out more imaginative and innovative thoughts and make use of their skilled support,
and that inventive and altered concepts and procedures should be incorporated and used for
the different activities of the organisation.
