I really liked your B&E Corporation story on Intel Corp. titled ‘Intel Outside’. Firstly, I loved the heading itself as it clearly showed how Intel is only focusing on what lies without than what should actually be their key focus, i.e. within. Secondly, they should seriously think about manufacturing in a land with cheap labour and cheaper total costs such as India. With the western economies outsourcing their customer service jobs to the low-cost Asian nations, the company should seriously delve over whether they only intend to promise themselves with no concrete plans to do what really is necessary. The motives of this giant really seem myopic and the danger signals seems pretty clear with falling segmentwise revenues which has only headed southwards over last year. Undoubtedly, for Intel to rise again and reign supreme it is imperative for them to formalize the right strategies for all high-growth markets – especially India – otherwise its shrewd competitors like AMD, etc. will only be too happy to take advantage of the sleeping giant and erode its market share away! Once again, a brilliant report with an equally brilliant execution that is among the best so far. A truly brave effort that uncovers the most grave situation for the global major.
