Another significant time in Dell’s growth is when they were able to provide the longest battery life compared to other competitor firms in the industry by providing a Lithium-ion made battery. Dell was unstoppable and they kept on expanding their operations by penetrating Asia. To support their fast growth Dell reached their customers globally by doing their key business operations online and that just made the world a little bit smaller. Dell.com is another significant contribution in Dell’s growth. Sales increased by 1 million dollars per day because of this website and continued to increase as sales reached 40 million dollars per day (Dell 2012). The website allowed customers to customize depending on their own liking and provided tech support to customers around the world. By this time, Dell just kept introducing new product lines that dominated the industry and by 1999 Dell received recognition for being the top PC producer in the US and other awards globally.
