DELL a highly evolved creature! Yeah,I go along with that.

Yamakita:

Excellent article,very greatful indeed.I liked the whole article but the following I thought pretty much describes how Dell differentiates itself from the others but some people just don't seem to get it.

"Because the time between when these companies manufacture and when they deliver is so tight, the balance sheet portion of their businesses generate cash as they grow. This unprecedented phenomenon allows these companies to execute and grow without raising capital, even if day-to-day profitably is zero. This is similar to being able to hold your breath for a really long time. These companies are highly evolved creatures.

The concept, known broadly as mass customization, is best exemplified by Dell Computer, which builds millions of computers a year, each to the specifications desired by the buyer.
