...Chapter 1 3 Controls for Differentiated Strategies 597 Case 13-3 Texas Instruments and Hewlett-Packard Texas Instruments (TI) and Hewlett-Packard (HP) developed, manufactured, and sold high-technology electric and electronic products. Texas Instruments had three main lines of business in 1984: components, which includ ed semi conductor integrated circuits, semiconductor subassemblies, and electronic control devices; digital products, which included minicomputers, personal com puters, scientific instruments, and calculators; and government electronics, which included radar systems, missile guidance and control system s, and in frared surveillance systems. The three businesses generated 46 percent, 19 percent, and 24 percent, respectively, of TI’s sales in 1984. Hewle tt-Packard operated in two main lines of business: computer products, which included factory automation computers, engineering workstations, data termin als, per sonal computers, and calculators; and electronic test and measu rement sys tems, which included instruments that were used to evaluate the operation of electrical equipment against standards, instruments that would measu re and display electronic signals, voltmeters, and oscilloscopes. These busine sses gen erated 53 percent and 37 percent, respectively, of HP’s 1984 sales. Summary financial information for each company is presented in Exhibit 1.

...observations on fish without tools, assistance, or any documents. Agassiz’s method forced his students to take on the role of an “academia entrepreneur”. As a result, the students learned not only to observe every detail closely, but also to try different things and embrace each dead-end as a learning experience rather than a waste of time. Entrepreneurs are also intrinsically driven to pursue ever-greater goals. Similarly, Agassiz added more fish and encouraged the student to continually develop his expertise as he mastered observational skills. Nonetheless, the entrepreneur, like the student, has to be focused to perform reasonable activity to make the company strive. The four requirements proposed by Drucker served as guidelines for Hewlett and Packard’s young company. The first one, to have a clear market focus, requires the entrepreneurs not to rely on flawed market research or predetermined expectations but to embrace the needs of the market and possibility that the product...

...Dell Inc., currently a US$60 billion company, was started by Michael Dell in 1984 when he was an undergraduate student at the University of Texas, in the United States. Within two decades, Dell, with headquarters in Round Rock, Texas, grew to become one of the world’s great computer companies, with near leading shares in the personal computer (PC) and server markets. Nearly 65 per cent of its revenue originated in North and South America; 23 per cent in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and 12 per cent in the Asia–Pacific region. In 2003, a year in which most computer makers lost money due to slumping global demand for PCs, Dell saw its annual revenues jump by US$5 billion to US$36 billion, made US$2.8 billion in operating profit, and gained 2.3 per cent in global market share. By this time Dell had gained, and held for five years, the position of market-share leader. However, during the mid to late 2000s, Dell’s position in the global PC market began to change. In 2005 it lost its market-share lead to one of its main rivals, Hewlett-Packard. By 2008–9, Dell’s second-place PC ranking came under threat from the Taiwanese computer maker Acer. In 2003, Acer had ranked seventh in PC sales around the world, but by 2008–9 Acer’s share of the global market had risen to 11.8 per cent, just behind Dell with 13.7 per cent and HP still on top with 19.6 per cent.
