Dell’s chief executives only concern is profits and will try to achieve this no matter what.
DEW relies on a complex distribution system in order to get their products to its customers. Only about 30 percent of the firm’s total sales are purchased directly from DEW. Smaller companies and retailers usually make purchases through one of the many independent distributors.
