In 2007 Dell ranked 34th and 8th respectively on the equivalent lists for the year.

The company is one of the largest technological corporations in the world, employing more than 96,000 people worldwide.
Inherent Attributes of the Product/Idea
Dell’s success, according to most professionals and customers, is attributable to its brand new Direct Business Model. This innovative model has boosted the corporate revenues up during the 1990s.
Instead of the business model, Dell’s products are also renowned for their excellent performance to price ratio which characterizes the two major product attributes of Dell, function-oriented and reasonably priced.
