The Companies 26 Dell Inc. 1 Dell Way Round Rock, TX 78682 Phone: 512-338-4400 www.dell.com Overview Well ingrained in corporate mythology is the story of Michael Dell, student at the University of Texas at Austin, selling made-to-order computers from his dorm room and turning that model into a multi-billion-dollar corporation. Indeed, the company bearing Michael Dell’s name has become the foremost PC maker in the world, with Mr. Dell still retaining approximately 12 percent of the company. Dell Inc., formerly known as Dell Computer, is still one of the largest computer makers in the world. However, as the name change implies, Dell is attempting to parlay its brand name and direct channel experience into consumer electronics. Consider the new Dell flat-panel television and the Dell DJ MP3 player the baby steps in this direction. Within the realm of computers, Dell offers not only laptop and desktop PCs, but also software, accessories, servers, storage devices, and, more recently, Dell-branded printers and handheld computing devices. Dell ranks 31st on the Fortune 500 (2004) as well as near the top of Fortune’s 2004 list of “America’s Most Admired Companies.”
