...Case 4 Inside Intel Inside What was the original motivation behind Intel’s decision to launch the Intel Inside branding campaign? What factors have accounted for the success of the campaign? From a consumer perspective, how does the Intel inside logo affect your PC buying decisions? Intel was a market leader in PC Microprocessor industry. Due to evolving new technology and intensifying competition, sustaining technological lead was of utmost priority in 1990 for Intel. They had threats from growing powers like AIM (Apple, IBM and Motorola) tie ups in 1991. To counter this competition, Intel doubling up their R&D. There were simultaneous development of products of 2 generations going on. The other competitors could not catch up with Intel’s speed of development of new products. In 1997, Intel encountered loss of market in < $1000 PC market. This segment was fast growing. AMD was a major player and gained market share in this segment. Intel did not want to lower their price because this would affect their brand equity as well as reduce their bottom lines. So they countered by introducing another product that they positioned in entry level segment. This kind of product differentiation allowed them to gain leadership in that market without diluting their brand image. They also lowered price of their older product to compete directly with AMD. Their product 286 was a big success in the market. But 386 processor sales did not pick up even 3 years after launch. This was...

...Chapter 15 Summary Yuzhe Jiang Chapter 15 talks about the role of promotion in the marketing mix, the elements of the promotional mix, the communication process. The communication process has several steps, the goals and tasks of promotion, the AIDA concept and its relationship to the promotional mix, the factors that affect the promotional mix and the concept of integrated marketing communications. First, the role of promotion in the marketing mix. Promotion is communication by marketers that informs, persuades, and reminds potential buyers of a product in order to influence an opinion or elicit a response. Promotional strategy is the plan for using the elements of promotion-advertising, public relations, sales promotion, and personal selling-to meet the firm's overall objectives and marketing goals. Based on these objectives, the elements of the promotional strategy become a coordinated promotion plan. The promotion plan then becomes an integral part of the total marketing strategy for reaching the target market along with product, distribution, and price. Second, the elements of the promotional mix. The elements of the promotional mix include advertising, public relations, sales promotion, and personal selling. Advertising is a form of impersonal, one-way mass communication paid for by the source. Public relations is the function of promotion concerned with a firm's public image. Firms can't buy good publicity, but they can take steps to create a positive company image...

...INTEL CASE - Explain Intel's strategies and their evolution in time. - Analyze critically Intel's strategies. Bob, Gordon and Andrew established in California in 1968 a world famous company: Intel. At the beginning, this company produced semiconductor memory chips; however, as we will explain during this paper Intel’s production shifted into other fields. The main strategy Intel had was innovation the design of the product and being the first ones to achieve the market with the newest devices. This strategy entailed that the company was positioned at the cutting-edge in investments and infrastructure. Therefore, Intel invested a large amount of money in R&D, and underwent a strong investment in manufacture equipment in the beginning of the firm. This strategy positioned Intel were differently than the rest of competitors, always trying to achieve the first position in the competition. However, the first two products (1101 and 3101), introduced in 1969, did not succeed. In 1971, Intel managed to produce the world best selling semiconductor memory chips. In the years that followed, Japanese companies achieved to overtake to Intel with DRAMS semiconductors, these being more efficient, fast and cheaper than Intel’s.

...Intel engineers discovered a flaw in the floating-point math subsection of the Pentium microprocessor. Under certain data dependent conditions, low order bits of the result of floating-point division operations would be incorrect, an error that can quickly compound in floating-point operations to much larger errors in subsequent calculations. Intel corrected the error in a future chip revision, but nonetheless declined to disclose it. Dr. Thomas Nicely, Professor of Mathematics at Lynchburg College independently discovered the bug, and upon receiving no response from his inquiry to Intel, on October 30 posted a message on the Internet. Word of the bug spread quickly on the Internet and then to the industry press. Because the bug was easy to replicate by an average user (there was a sequence of numbers one could enter into the OS calculator to show the error), Intel's statements that it was minor and "not even an erratum" were not accepted by many computer users. Ironically, the "Pentium flaw" incident, Intel's response to it, and the surrounding media coverage propelled Intel from being a technology supplier generally unknown to most computer users to a household name. Dovetailing with an uptick in the "Intel Inside" campaign, the episode is considered by some to have been a positive event for Intel, changing some of its business practices to be more end-user focused and generating substantial public awareness, while avoiding (for most users) a lasting negative impression...

The 8086 was one of the first 16-bit processor chips on the market; at the time, virtually all other processors were 8-bit designs. The 8086 had 16-bit internal registers and could run a new class of software using 16- bit instructions. [pic][pic] P2 (286) Processor - In 1982, Intel introduced the Intel 80286 processor, normally abbreviated as 286. The first CPU behind the original IBM PC AT (Advanced Technology), it did not suffer from the compatibility problems that damned the 80186 and 80188. [pic][pic] P3 (386) Processor - The third generation represents perhaps the most significant change in processors since the first PC. The big deal was the migration from processors that handled 16- bit operations to true 32-bit chips.

...Case Analysis Intel Corporation: 1968-2008 Case 6 Name: Po-Hsun Lo ID: 11018704 Date: 01/22/2012 Abstract Intel, the leading manufacturer of microprocessor since 1985, possessed 77.46% worldwide share of microprocessors for personal computers in 2007. Revenue of Intel kept increasing even during the recession of 2007, and Cost of goods sold reduced from 2005 to 2007. Such overwhelming performance pushed its major competitor, AMD that was expected to lose $1 billion on sales in 2007, to the edge. Although Intel had ruled the microprocessors for PCs, the growth of PCs market started showing slump, which meant exploring new market is getting importance to Intel. Corporation Overview Founded by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore in 1968, Intel started business by manufacturing dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) based on the technique from Fairchild. Besides the two founders, big part of early success of Intel was attributed by Andy Grove, one of researchers hired as Intel founded. Andy was charged as director of operations, so he had designed the first manufactory of Intel producing in competitive cost. His attributions and performance resulted in that he was named CEO in 1987 and positioned CEO until 1998. His management philosophy was detail oriented; everything must be constantly checked, especially about driving down cost and speeding up development processes. Therefore, Intel is always leading on product innovation in microprocessors industry. Intel strongly grew...

Intel co-operative marketing strategy 5. Creating a quality standard 6. Intel campaign investment 7. Ingredient branding results 8. Ingredient branding success factors 1. Introduction to ingredient branding Every month more than 4 million billion (4 x 1015) transistors are produced; more than half a million for every human on the planet. Most computer chips each comprise more than 7 million transistors. Twelve years ago computer chips, in the eyes of consumers, were a generally unknown component of PCs - a commodity product. From a competitive standpoint, a computer chip is a typical commodity. Take one out, put another in, no performance difference. Chips are something most customers don't see, many don't understand, and large numbers don't care about. But Intel has built a brand around a commodity. The company was founded in 1968 and went public in 1971. By 1997, it controlled 90% of the world's market for personal PC microprocessors. Although the market is more competitive today, Intel is still the largest chip manufacturer in the world. 2. The need for an ingredient brand Intel developed the chips which set the standard for personal computing during the 1980s, beginning with the 8086 chip and then developing a series of product improvements. Competitors rapidly adopted the same naming convention...
