A WAVE OF COMPLAINTS
"I just want to scream
when I see Dell's TV
commercials," Anderson
fumes.
Texas Better Business Bureau
logged 3,726 complaints
against Dell from consumers
throughout the U.S.
"I feel sorry for Dell technicians if they don't have that information. They're on the front lines."
Consideration to deindianize!?? Language and cultural rifts between
disgruntled U.S. customers .
Dell employees fielding calls seemed unwilling to depart from a script.
The biggest challenge for Dell in India was working on the accent.
BUT, WHAT MICHAEL DELL HAS TO SAY
ABOUT IT ?
“India represents a great market opportunity for us….business is expanding at a very rapid pace there.”
- Michael Dell
INDIA-STILL DELL’S FAVOURITE. Manufacturing not possible in India
because for that a large market, good supply base and export-import environment is necessary.
So in order to take the benefit of *Small Indian Callers* , it wants to direct its processes to India.
Thus, investment in the manufacturing base of US leads to a reduction in the man minutes from 28 to 5 now.
"The survey of 25 large organizations with a combined $50 billion in outsourcing contracts found that 70% have had negative experiences with outsourcing projects and are now taking a more cautious approach. One in four companies has brought outsourced functions back in-house and nearly half have failed to see the cost savings they anticipated as a result of outsourcing.“
