Competition and Collaboration in the PC Industry: The Evolution of a Value Chain (B)
Liedtka, Jeanne M.; Charan, Guru; Davis, Ryan M.; Moore, Elizabeth K.Case DARDEN-BP-0519-ECorporate GovernanceThe B case examines the shifting dynamics as Intel and Microsoft assert their dominance over the box makers. By 2001, Compaq was toppled as the world’s largest PC maker. Intel remained the world’s largest processor maker and Microsoft remained a software giant. But a company founded in 1984 by a University of Texas student had taken its place as a powerhouse in the “Wintel” value chain. That company was Dell.

Liedtka, Jeanne M.; Charan, Guru; Davis, Ryan M.; Moore, Elizabeth K.Case DARDEN-BP-0518-ECorporate GovernanceThe three cases in this series trace developments in the personal computer industry from its inception through 2006, making it possible to examine the issues of collaboration and competition as the value chain in the industry evolves.

USEC Inc.
Eades, Kenneth M.; Mackovjak, Ben; Doe, LucasCase DARDEN-F-1546-EFinanceThis case is designed to present students with the challenges of formulating a discounted-cash-flow (DCF) analysis for a strategically important capital-investment decision.

Students must determ...Starting at €8.20
