  • INSIGHT CASE STUDY Insight Confidential
    INSIGHT CASE STUDY Insight Confidential Since 1988, Insight has evolved from a technology start-up to a global IT player; from a private, home-based business to a publicly traded Fortune 500 corporation. In addition, Insight has grown through a number of acquisitions, bringing dynamic new cultures into the Insight fold. How do we drive cohesion and strengthen our One Team to perform more consistently, capture market share and increase our share of every dollar we sell? Over the years, Insight has undergone an aggressive evolution of its strategy as the company grew from its roots as a low-cost, high availability product provider to offering a value proposition few of its competitors could claim: A global information technology provider of hardware, software and service solutions to business and government clients. When asked about the evolution of the business, Insight co-founder Tim Crown said, “My brother Eric and I have always described the business as a series of strategic decisions. These led us from being a hard drive only company advertising in magazines on an inbound basis, to a multi-product cataloger, to a business to business product reseller with outbound sales, to an IT service provider.” Around the same time Insight was founded, a number of competitors were also established and in much the same way. Through the years, these competitors have also evolved their strategies and focus areas to remain successful in a highly dynamic and competitive IT environment. These efforts have had varying degrees of success. In 2011, the Insight senior leadership team knew the business had the right value proposition to grow to a new level of achievement.

  • Trademarks, Triggers and Online Search Working Paper
    Trademarks, Triggers and Online Search Working paper Stefan Bechtold∗ and Catherine Tuckery May 18, 2013 Abstract Internet search engines display advertisements along with search results, providing them with a major source of revenue. The display of ads is triggered by the use of keywords, which are found in the searches performed by search engine users. The fact that advertisers can buy a keyword that contains a trademark they do not own has caused controversy worldwide. To explore the actual effects of trademark and keyword advertising policies, we exploit a natural experiment in Europe. Following a decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union, Google relaxed its AdWords policy in continental Europe in September 2010. After the policy change, Google allowed advertisers to select a third party's trademark as a keyword to trigger the display of ads. We use click-stream data from European Internet users to explore the impact this policy change had on browsing behavior. Based on a data set of 5.38 million web site visits before and after the policy change, we find little average change. However, we present evidence that this lack of average effect stems from an aggregation of two opposing effects. While navigational searches are less likely to lead to the trademark owner's website, non-navigational searches are more likely to lead to the trademark owner's website after the policy change. The effect of changing keyword advertising policies varies with the purpose of the consumers using the trademark. It is the resulting tradeoffs, rather than consumer confusion, on which the keyword advertising debate should focus.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GORES TECHNOLOGY GROUP ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF THE EUROPEAN OPERATIONS OF MICRO WAREHOUSE Transaction Establishes Gores as a Significant Player in the IT Products Market in France LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 7, 2004 - Gores Technology Group, LLC ("Gores"), a leading private investment firm, announced today that, through an affiliate, it has acquired certain of the European operations of Micro Warehouse ("Micro Warehouse Europe" or the "Company"). Micro Warehouse Europe is a direct reseller of IT products, operating through four distinct businesses located in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the Netherlands. The Company markets more than 36,000 brand name products (including computers, hardware, software, peripherals and networking equipment) from leading vendors such as Hewlett Packard, Compaq, Apple, IBM, Toshiba, Microsoft, Adobe, Epson, Cisco and Sony.
