...of leadership, however, cannot be reduced to a specific dollar amount though it is, and always will be, directly tied to an organization’s financial successes and failures. This activity provides insight into the mind of two iconic leadership figures, Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell, Inc., and Andy Grove, cofounder and former CEO of Intel, Inc. Michael Dell is considered a modern maverick of leadership. From the inception of his company he focused on providing his customers’ products based on their specific needs and requirements at the lowest price possible. He was not a big fan of filling shelves for retail businesses based on anticipated or surveyed customer buying trends. This allowed Dell to provide a higher level of satisfaction for every customer experience. And, as it turned out, it was a slam-dunk move. Consumers were excited about the opportunity to add their personal touch to newly acquired technologies. Andy Grove is also celebrated as a leadership maverick. From Intel’s early days and throughout his reign as CEO he implemented strategies and changes unlike many others of his time. For instance, he moved Intel completely away from a market in which they helped to pioneer and was highly skilled into an industry that was new, undeveloped and foreign to the company. Other similarities shared between these two icons include their indoctrination of situational and transformational leadership styles. They both believed in rising to the occasion at hand...

...Intel began in 1968. It was founded by Gordon E. Moore who is also a physicist and chemist. He was accompanied by Robert Noyce, also a fellow physicist and co-creator of integrated circuitry, after they both had left Fairchild Semiconductor. During the 1980’s Intel was run by a chemical engineer by the name of Andy Grove, who was the third member of the original Intel family. Many other Fairchild employees participated in other Silicon Valley companies. Andy Grove today is considered to be one of the company’s essential business and strategic leaders. As the 1990’s concluded, Intel had become one of the largest and by far the most successful businesses in the entire world. Intel has gone through many faces and phases. In the beginning Intel was set apart by its ability primarily to create memory chips or SRAM. When the firm was founded, Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce had the idea to name their company Moore Noyce. However when the name is spoken it is heard as “More Noise” This idea was quickly abandoned and the pursuit of a more suitable name – one which was not associated with a bad interface. The name NM Electronics was shortly thereafter chosen and used for nearly a year, when the company experienced a name change to Integrated Electronics, or INTEL for short. The rights to the name however had to be purchased as it was already in use by a fairly well known hotel chain. Though Intel had mastered the first microprocessor called the Intel 4004 in 1971 and also one of the...

...Intel Aisha Sultana Busgr-590 In 1968 a chemist Gordon E. Moore and a physicist Robert Noyce who co-invented the integrated circuit, left the company named Fairfield Semiconductor and founded what became Intel. Intel was incorporated in California in 1968 and re-incorporated in Delaware in 1989. Intel developed x86, microprocessors for personal computer the leading PC microprocessor. These include 8086,386, 486, Pentium and the newest Quad Core and i7 processors. Intel processors are faster than their competitor’s (AMD) like processor but it cost more. Later they hired Andy Grove and several other researcher to help them. Andy Grove later became CEO in 1987; Grove was very demanding and expects high expectation from everyone. Grove was detailed oriented, pushed hard to measure everything and was constantly looking for ways to drive down costs and speed up development process. He became Intel’s strategic planner by discipline, and pushed people to their limits to get things done. By 1999 Intel has become one of the biggest and best known businesses in the world. Intel’s growth happened in a number of clear phases. It began with excellence in semiconductor manufacturing, with SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) chips its main product.

...Most CEOs success stories started with an entrepreneur, an idea, and a business loan. Michael Dell (Dell, Founder and CEO) and Andy Grove (Intel, Cofounder and CEO) success’ stories were no exception. Michael Dell launched his company in 1984 with a unique business model known as” mass customization” (Krames, 2003, p 59) or a “one-to-one” (Krames, 2003, p 59) between customers and company. The company delivered what the customers exactly want with “rock-bottom prices” (krames, 2003, p.59). With no margin paid to distributer or middleman. Dell increased customer savings while keeping a healthy profit margin. Dell’s business success continue to grow, four years later the company went public and Michael Dell at age 27 was named the “Youngest CEO” of a Fortune 500 Company. The second CEO and cofounder of Intel Andy Grove and other two engineers launched their company in 1968 with the invention of microprocessor that revolutionized the industry. Andy Grove dominated the market with little or no competition until 1984 when a Japanese company which provided the same products took over the market by lowering their prices, after trying almost everything, Andy Grove and his top managers decided to leave of the memory chip business and switch to solely microprocessors ship. They went on to build the world’s largest chip-making business (Krames, 2003, p 135) Along the way, both CEOs faced some challenges. In 1980 Andy Grove had to make a crucial decision when he decided it is time for...

...Case Analysis Intel Corporation: 1968-2008 Case 6 Name: Po-Hsun Lo ID: 11018704 Date: 01/22/2012 Abstract Intel, the leading manufacturer of microprocessor since 1985, possessed 77.46% worldwide share of microprocessors for personal computers in 2007. Revenue of Intel kept increasing even during the recession of 2007, and Cost of goods sold reduced from 2005 to 2007. Such overwhelming performance pushed its major competitor, AMD that was expected to lose $1 billion on sales in 2007, to the edge. Although Intel had ruled the microprocessors for PCs, the growth of PCs market started showing slump, which meant exploring new market is getting importance to Intel. Corporation Overview Founded by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore in 1968, Intel started business by manufacturing dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) based on the technique from Fairchild. Besides the two founders, big part of early success of Intel was attributed by Andy Grove, one of researchers hired as Intel founded. Andy was charged as director of operations, so he had designed the first manufactory of Intel producing in competitive cost. His attributions and performance resulted in that he was named CEO in 1987 and positioned CEO until 1998. His management philosophy was detail oriented; everything must be constantly checked, especially about driving down cost and speeding up development processes. Therefore, Intel is always leading on product innovation in microprocessors industry. Intel strongly grew...

They called it Tukwila chip. The chip is designed for high-end servers rather than personal computers. Many of the chip´s two billion transistors are used for on-board memory, helping the system process data faster. The growth of the transistors used in the circuits has nearly doubled every two years. This growth is reasonable because it falls in line with Moore’s law (Founder of Intel). Moore stated that the amount of transistors on a chop would be doubled every 18 months to two years which is surprisingly fast. According to Moore’s law which says that the amount of the transistors will be doubled every 18 months to 2 years, I would say that the chip that will contain more than 100 Billion transistors will be in 2022. Which they might invent a chip that contains 192,000,000,000 billion transistors.

...Abstract Michael Dell and Andy Grove are two of America’s leading CEOs. The nature of this paper is to compare and contrast these individuals on several elements such as their similarities, resistance and contribution to their respective organizations, and to discuss what factors impacted their success. Contributions to the field At a young age Michael Dell showed his entrepreneurial skills by starting a stamp catalogue business and again in college by starting a computer business from his dorm room. This led him to become the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company in the early 1990s. Michael Dell was instrumental in getting his organization to use the direct model of “mass customization” (Krames, 200, p. 59) thus giving the customer what they wanted, not what they think they wanted. Along with the revolution of the internet Michael Dell used that medium to his organization’s advantage and did so with great success to this day. Andy Grove at a tender age turned out to be an exceptional individual, and he overcame several factors outside of his control and was still able to become one of America’s most successful immigrants. His contribution to his organization still continues to evolve and grow especially his vision of continuous change. Andy Grove’s definition of a Strategic Inflection Point (Krames, 2003, p. 140) is change so big that no one knows what the change is, but the organization had to adapt to this change. Encountering resistance In 1989, Michael Dell...
