Detailed Pestle Analysis of Dell
Political
1. Policies of Trump Administration: Dell Technologies' international operations face many risks and uncertainties, including varied local economic and labour conditions, political instability, changes in the U.S. and international regulatory environments, and the impacts of trade protection measures, tax laws (including U.S. taxes on foreign operations), copyright levies, and foreign currency exchange rates. Any of these factors can hinder the growth and results of Dell Technologies’. There has also been increased trouble between US and China due to North Korea issue; if the problem persists it will affect the supply chain and distribution networks.
This remaining section is available only in the Complete report on purchase.
Economic
1. Currency Exchange Rate affecting the Business performance: Dell is getting directly impacted with the currency exchange rate fluctuation, macroeconomic stability and cost of labor and raw material. A recent case being when pound took a plunge it translated into higher PC prices in local currency terms, reducing the affordability of imported hardware and packaged software. The prices have since been increased by more than 10%.
2. Conflict with distributors over product price rise: Dell Technologies' profitability is affected by its ability to achieve favorable pricing from vendors and contract manufacturers. But with Brexit it had no choice but to pass on the price rise on the end consumers and part on the distributors because of which there was less consumer demand. Dell needs to adjust variable costs or otherwise it will affect its profitability. An inability to establish a cost and product advantage, or determine alternative means to deliver value to customers, may adversely affect Dell Technologies' revenue and profitability.
