INTEL, SWOT AND FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
Pentium and Celeron microprocessors, installed in approximately four-fifths of all new PCs. Intel makes flash memories and embedded semiconductors for the communications and industrial equipment markets as well.  In this paper, well provide a Five Forces and SWOT analysis to better describe Intel. Porters Five Force Analysis  Competitive rivalry. High. The computer industry is an interesting one - the microprocessing industry even moreso. Its interesting to consider that many of Intels customers  (especially the larger customers) could actually end up being Intels competitors at some point. This is because the larger have the resources  to manufacture their own chips and processors, should they so desire. In addition, when Intel licensed its technology to companies such as AMD (which is considered in the industry to  be Intels highest competitor, the company ended up in direct competition with these smaller companies for market share. Given the nature of this industry, high rivalry will continue.  In addition, like most technology, as the know how increases, the price of technology is driven down. The less expensive it is to manufacture  technology, the more likely competitors will flood the market with less expensive versions of the same product. So although competitive rivalry is high now, dont expect it to be high  in the future. Barriers to entry. Medium. Although there are no government regulations or legal hindrances to entering the industry (other  than the standard agreements that governments issue to most companies doing business; and other than the standard rules issued by overseas companies), a companys successful entry into this field depends
