201147507 Chinthaka Uduwage Intel Corp. 1968-2003 • How would you explain Intel’s initial dominance and subsequent decline in DRAMS? Intel was successful at the beginning because of their “Goldlocks strategy”‚ which they focused on mass production and something that competitors cannot copy easily. Because of this approach Intel was able to produce 1103‚ world’s first 1 kilobit DRAM. The 1103 was more cost effective to build‚ smaller and better in performance. The 1103 DRAM was able to replace

semiconductor product. Intel’s strategy was to come up with revolutionary product design and to be first to market with innovative devices. This strategy required enormous investments in process technology and manufacturing equipment. Between 1974-1984‚ Intel started losing market share to Japanese competition. This lost in market share can be attributed to several reasons. The first would be the fact that patents were not easily enforceable for DRAMS. Additionally the Japanese competitors have invested

MGMT-364 Section 900 Group Assignment: Intel Case Intel Corporation is known for it’s innovative successes and the ability to think outside the box. Some of Intel’s sources of competitive advantages in DRAM were that they were able to make a smaller product‚ they were able to create a complex product that helped deal with the imitation issue and they were able to a more cost effective product. Intel’s sources of competitive advantages for microprocessors on the other hand were

market began to take hold. Intel executives later made a dramatic decision to exit the DRAM business and focus resources on the Intel invented microprocessors. In January 1997‚ Intel was ranked among the top five American companies. For the most part‚ Intel’s success had been due to its microprocessors. Notwithstanding the company’s remarkable history and success‚ company executives worried about the challenges ahead. Almost thirty years later‚ the questions are‚ "How can Intel increase and maintain its

COMMUNICATIONS 17-1 MARKETING SPOTLIGHT INTEL Intel makes the microprocessors that are found in 80 percent of the world’s personal computers. In the early days‚ Intel microprocessors were known simply by their engineering numbers‚ such as “80386” or “80486.” Intel positioned its chips as the most advanced. The trouble was‚ as Intel soon learned‚ numbers can’t be trademarked. Competitors came out with their own “486” chips‚ and Intel had no way to distinguish itself from the competition

did Intel use to gain a competitive advantage in microprocessors? In order to get a competitive advantage Intel manages three classes of players: Competitors‚ Buyers and suppliers. The (Reduced Instruction set computing) RISC threat In 1989‚ Intel faced with a potential competitive threat from an alternative microprocessor architecture while launching its fourth generation of 80486 microprocessor. Four key decisions led Intel to have a competitive advantage in this market. First‚ Intel realized
