The Section Heading
Intel was a company founded in July of 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. Intel, short for “integrated electronics”, initially selling memory chips, the company continued to grow
as technology advanced becoming America’s leading brand of semiconductor computer circuits. This essay will examine the business model and structure of Intel, why it works, skills one would
need to change or add to it, and security issues within this business. Intel’s business strategy, as stated on their website is “
to play a larger role in our customers' success by delivering a predictable cadence of leadership products.” (Intel Corporations, 2024). The site goes into more detail by providing their priorities which include improving execution to strengthen their core, extending their reach to accelerate growth, and redefining their position in the industry. These priorities encompass a number of strategies such as continuous innovation, keeping a predictable cadence, and keeping the best talent on their team. The business model for Intel “
is based on supplying microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, graphics chips, integrated circuits, and other related computing units to computer system manufacturers such as HP and Dell. Since it was founded in 1968, Intel Corporation has been integral in driving technological breakthroughs worldwide.” (Pereira, 2024).

CASE STUDY
In December 1986, Mr. Bhatti, Manager of NCR Corporation, Karachi was facing the following decisions. In order to gain a greater share of the personal computer market, Mr. Bhatti wondered whether he should use TV advertising, which was highly expensive, but totally ignored by his competitors in Pakistan.
Company Background
NCR Corporation, head office, Dayton Ohio, USA, was a multinational computer manufacturing company. Products include mainframe, mini computers, ATM and Personal Computers.
The company had more than 1,200 branches in 120 countries of the world. Three branches were in Pakistan: Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi. Personal Computers (PCs) were introduced by the company in 1985. The market for PCs was much wider than that for Mainframe and Mini computers.

1) Tesla, an American automobile manufacturer based in California, has hired you as a business strategy consultant. Tesla is the leader in electric luxury cars across the world. Over the last five years, their sales have increased due to consumer and political concerns over the environmental impact from combustion- based automobiles. Increased demand worldwide has resulted in increased competition from established companies (Ford; GM; Mercedes; Toyota; etc.), as well as smaller start-ups. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, lags in the supply chain, and a doubling of fuel prices, recent costs have skyrocketed. Consider the following questions:
A) While American consumers purchase over 17 million new cars annually, electric cars account for less than 3%, lagging substantially behind Europe and China. Discuss why this discrepancy exists. How do you recommend that Tesla approach the challenge of competing in the existing US market in short-term? What can Tesla and others do to foster…

Blockbuster
The former worldwide leader in video rentals found themselves on the wrong side of public opinion thanks to a failure to innovate.
Blockbuster was once known throughout the world as a leader in home movie and video game rentals. Before the digital age, their products were the Netflix of the day. The problem? They refused to innovate. Sensing changes in the market — including by a start-up known as Netflix — Blockbuster began to push for a more in-demand market, creating programmes that allowed people to get videos delivered directly to their homes. However, it wasn’t enough: The company failed to properly prepare for the rise of the digital age and never created a product like that of Netflix that streamed movies directly to people’s internet devices.

Now, in an effort to revitalize the firm, the company have invested heavily in both the financial and human resources within the firm, the company are hoping to recover their investment dollars. However, the business appears to be a dead end and the competitors have already largely monopolised the online search engine market, which makes it very hard for the company to find a niche aspect of the market which would offer both growth potential as well as help them to recover from some very lean years of operation.

The Xerox 914, the first plain-paper copier, was introduced in 1959. Regarded by many people as the most successful business product ever introduced, it created a new industry. During the 1960s Xerox grew rapidly, selling all it could produce and reaching $1 billion in revenue in a record-setting time. By the mid-1970s return on assets was in the low 20 % range. Its competitive advantage was due to strong patients, a growing market, and little competition. In such an environment, management was not pressed to focus on customers.
During the 1970s, however, IBM and Kodak entered the high-volume copier business-Xerox’s principal market. Several Japanese companies introduced high quality low volume copiers, a market that Xerox had virtually ignored, and established a foundation for moving into the high-volume market. In addition, the Federal Tarde Commission accused Xerox of illegally monopolizing the copier businesses. After negotiations, Xerox agreed to open approximately 1,700 patents…
