Kraemer, Tony Tsai I. INTRODUCTION Acer Computer is an unusual company in the personal computer industry. Companies such as Dell, Compaq and Gateway focus on designing, configuring, marketing and servicing PCs and increasingly leave the manufacturing to contract manufacturers and OEM producers. By contrast, Acer is a diversified, vertically integrated manufacturer of PCs, components and peripherals that it sells under its own brand name and on an OEM basis for other PC makers. Acer’s diversified product line resembles that of giants such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba and NEC, yet it is only a fraction of their size.
