Dell to close its U.S. stores | Beyond Binary - A blog by Ina Fried - CNET News.com
Dell to close its U.S. stores | Beyond Binary - A blog by Ina Fried - CNET News.com: "Dell to close its U.S. stores | Posted by Ina Fried
Dell is abruptly abandoning its Dell Direct Store effort, saying customers now have other ways to get their hands on the company's products.
The computer maker said Wednesday that it will close all 140 of its U.S. kiosks as part of the company's ongoing shift in how it sells its products. The company launched the kiosk effort in 2002 as a way for customers to see products firsthand before ordering online or by phone.
'In the past six months the company has adopted a retail strategy that enables Dell to connect with customers it has not necessarily reached in the past,' the company said in a statement.
Dell spokesman Bob Kaufman said the company plans to close the kiosks, the majority of which are in malls and shopping centers, in a matter of days. Kaufman declined to say how many workers are losing their jobs, or the cost to Dell of ending the effort, but said that affected workers would receive severance and outplacement assistance.
The company is not closing its kiosks outside the U.S. In recent months, the company has moved its products into a number of retailers, most notably Best Buy, but also Wal-Mart Stores and Staples."

Nokia wants to become a MC company
Nokia has been defined as a mobile phone company. The management would like to change this image. Nokia is certainly looking for a PC and MC converging future with some Web 2.0 glue in between.
Time will show what these companies will become in the future. The history of Nokia includes a long time as a conglomerate. It has been a forestry company making toilet papers, tires, cables and aluminium profiles, televisions and whatever. The present Mobile destination has been around from the beginning of the 80´s. The big change happened 1992/3 when Jorma Ollila became the president of the company.
The ability for Nokia to change over time is remarkable.
- MC = mobile computing
- PC = personal computer
- WEb 2.0 = something we think we understand (2 years learning curve)
