2. Intel: Read the Intel Case Study and then work on the following problems.

a) Perform a competitive analysis of Intel's industry/market landscape using Porter's

five (six) forces model. Be sure to clearly explain your approach and results. Draw

appropriate conclusions.

b) What are the key relationships between (the players involved in) each "force" of the

business landscape? (E.g., how did Intel deal with competitors, etc.)

c) Using the appropriate (clearly stated) framework, assess Intel's competitive,

technology, and product/market strategy from the company's inception (in 1968) to

1997. How have Intel's technology strategy, product market strategy, and

developmental goals changed from its inception in 1968 to 1997? What were the key

driving forces that triggered these changes?

Suggestion: Use the three-stage process on Pages 17-19 of the "Lecture Notes for

Competitive Strategies in Technology Management" handout. Stage 3 of the process

will require the creation of the appropriate functional maps for the evolution of

technology, product, manufacturing, market, etc.
