ONE-TRICK PONY. Says one top tech executive in reference to Dell's lean, mean direct-sales machine: "They're a one-trick pony. It was a great trick for over 10 years, but the rest of us have figured it out and Dell hasn't plowed any of its profits into creating a new trick."

Dell actually outsourced nearly all it's R&D. Everything was seen as a cost center. They didn't just want to keep expenses low, they wanted to get someone else - some other supplier to do each job. That type of efficiency forced all processes to a local minimum from which it could not get past the next hurdle to a significant improvement.
