 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 3 Intel’s response to maintain its edge The mid-80s, Intel is not just a market note that an operating loss of computer storage systems, semiconductor chip manufacturers. At that time, the computer is vertical cooperation and coordination company, products, are the company’s own patented technology as the basis for the design and production. From the half-length conductor chips, computer to computer software, various components, both by private companies could not meet with the other company’s products, customers need only contacts with a company you can, such as IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation and so on fall into this types. Dedicated system for production of these large companies, small companies with only alliance, it would be difficult to survive.
