Dell interview in Fortune Magazine
You just "gotta luv this company". Fortune interviewed Michael Dell, founder and new chairman of Dell, and Kevin Rollins, the new CEO.
One of the questions asked by Fortune inquired about workload sharing and who is travelling where, when there is need to travel.Kevin's response was nice, but Michael Dell just said that "they pull out the strategic management tool. That's a coin with my name on one side and Kevin's on the other."
But, joke aside, they also talk about the need to invest in countries and offshore, if needed, to those countries (e.g.; India), if a company actually wants to make money there as well. so, if Dell wants its products to be sold in India, it also needs to have a presence there, needs to globalise. Another point that we loved was the discussion about productivity growth - they bring the example that in the US about 3.5% of the global population is living, but that the country needs to increase its productivity to keep its share of global wealth of 53%. Interesting point, for sure!
