Let's stick with 'excitable' shall we???? Hyper growth happens when you grow faster than any large cap companies in the world bar none,this includes all fortune 500 companies in the U.S,at least in DELL's case. Anyway 'hyper' when used as an adjective only means 'excitable','extremely active' etc. When used as a prefix,I guess it means 'super','above' or 'beyond' etc. I would think the word could assume negative or positive connotation depending on the context,in Dell's case let us stick with 'excitable'. Looks like you didn't listen in on Michael Dell at the Comerica Economic Forum where he talked about this very subject and I did post the URL here.

re hypergrowth. What does Monica L. and Dell Computer have in common? Give up? both want to be screwed by a Bill. don't know how many of you read the Barron's article last week from Bill Fleckenstein and Hickey. it contained misinformation regarding Dell and the pc business. today or tomorrow i'll post some other substantiated info which realligns their views. i wonder if fleckenstein was purposely attempting to mislead?

jhg, the prefix hyper means "more than", and is the opposite of the prefix "hypo" which means less than. Neither prefix is pejorative. I use the term hypergrowth to indicate a company whose sales are growing significantly faster than the industry average. So, by it nature, hypergrowth cannot be sustained indefinitely in an established industry because at some point the company and the industry become indistinguishable. For emerging technologies hypergrowth refers to the comparison of the growth of those technologies to mature technologies. Growth can be too fast if the growth outstrips the ability of the company to finance it or to support it. That is not the case with Dell. TTFN, CTC
