What is the Market Size for Dell laptops?


Dell gives today’s workforce what they need to securely connect, produce, and collaborate; anywhere at
any time. Since Dell have a few award winning laptops we can conclude that our market size is quite
large. According to the 2018 data chart of Dell’s market share it was 16.2%. From 1997 with only 5.5%
market share Dell has reached a 16.2% market share, within 21 years. Dell’s peak market share was
2004-2005 with 16.4% and 16.8%.

Does Dell promote better pay and working conditions?


Tough working conditions and violations of a number of Chinese labour laws, international labour
conventions and human rights were found when investigating the four Dell suppliers in the Guangdong
and Jiangsu provinces. Due to age limits applied by work agencies as well as in direct hiring by the
factories, the workers are between 16 and 36, and often travel great distances in search of jobs. But
once they start working in the factories and living in crowded dorms, few are satisfied with their
situation. The majority of the workers interviewed outside the factory premises had specific plans of
quitting within the next half year due to low wage, work pressure, long hours and no prospects of
promotion. The net salary the workers receive consists of a base salary for 40 hours’ work per week, and
a number of additions and deductions: overtime pay for weekdays and weekend, night shift pay, an
annual bonus or seniority bonus, dorm fee deduction, food deduction and shuttle bus fee deduction.
Workers are paid minimum wages plus overtime, with monthly wages adding up to 2200-3000 CNY
(270-368 EUR). However at some of the factories, fees for dorms, food and shuttle bus are considerable
deductions; for example at the Hipro factory, the net salary is rather 1700-2000 CNY (208-245 EUR) after
those deductions.
How is the work environment at Dell?
We build and attract the future workforce. We develop and retain an empowered workforce. We scale
for maximum impact. Diversity enables us to empower our future workforce. As the composition of the
workforce changes, companies embracing diversity and inclusion are experiencing greater innovation,
productivity, engagement and employee satisfaction — along with better business performance. This
coincides with a tremendous shift in buying power that mirrors changes in the workforce: women and
underrepresented minorities have more economic influence than ever.

Will high inflation cause damage to Dell Bangladesh’s sales performance?


There are a few factors that will cause damage to Dell Bangladesh’s Sales performance

- Consumer Purchasing will decrease due to the prices of the products increasing, hence might
lead to a loss rather than a profit during the inflation period.

- Inventory Costs will also increase, if Dell is unable to sell products that have already been
produced, it will lead to a loss as well.

- There may be a few disadvantages to the companies Investment, higher inflation would lead to
a loss therefore people would invest less to the company.

- Employee Wages is also another conflict that may occur during a high inflation period.

- Foreign Exchange is the biggest disadvantage to Dell since selling laptops in Bangladesh may
cause the prices of the laptops to have a different cost rather than in the US.
Is exchange rate a problem that occurs while selling Dell laptops in Bangladesh?
There is a strong link between exchange rate, export performance and GDP growth. To the lay person,
the connection might seem remote. But it is not. A proper management of the exchange rate should be
a critical part of trade policy geared to a superior export performance and high economic growth.
Historical and cross-country evidence shows that dynamic and rapidly growing economies have also
proactively and effectively managed their exchange rates to ensure that they do not become
overvalued. Rather, Dell US made sure that their exchange rates were sufficiently undervalued to make
their exports more competitive in the world market.
