    a. Intel’s product is intangible to the final user. Intel’s i386 SX was one of their most advanced products, but due to some legal issues it could not trademark it, making it vulnerable to its competitors. This shows that before the ‘Intel Inside’ strategy Intel’s product could not be differentiated amongst its competitors, even though it was Intel’s prodigy. And so the increase in competition and the aspect of no distinct functional or process benefits in the products made the consumers very confused. There was a need to create brand awareness among direct and indirect consumers.…

    External environmental changes can be customer and/or competitor based, as well as political, economic, social, technological, environmental or legislative. The more the external environment changes the more opportunities there may be for a well prepared company and the more threats to the unprepared. The actions and intentions of competitors change in a stable environment, and if the company is reviewing the market and what is happening they can prepare for any real or potential competitive maneuvers and find new insights into how to create continued value for customers.

    Intel Inside Case Study

    Group #3 (Under Armor) Intel Inside Case Study Initially the motivation behind the branding of Intel Inside was to establish the company by name and identify the high performance products that were used inside the computer with the company. This was in an effort to create an image for a company which often was subjected to behind the scenes and specific industry awareness, but wanted to establish it’s brand presence to the general public. Intel created a consumer brand to make sense of the rapidly changing computer cycles. The technology giant had already established a reputation as a quality brand throughout the technology world, however, their aim was to spread awareness and create a positive image for themselves in the public eye. The success of Intel can be attributed to many factors over their rise to the top of the technology world. First, they established a co-op advertising program to start attracting original equipment manufacturers and place their products in mass produced PC’s. Intel was able to gain this advantage by paying for the advertising for their partner company’s advertising in return for the Intel logo being on product. In addition, the technology company used unique and technologically advanced advertisement campaigns, such as the measles ad, Star Wars commercials, and an audio jingle that they attached to all of their advertising and branding campaigns which helped to create a familiarity among consumers and set the company apart from other competitors. Because of all of this Intel’s microprocessor became an integral part of the PC in the eyes of the consumer and enabled them to gain a competitive advantage on price, performance, and research and development. At the time the case was written, the current problems facing Intel include the competition from other microprocessor manufacturers, who were producing chips which took aim at a cheaper computer market which Intel had not yet tapped into. Not helping the situation was the rising price of…
