Lenovo Joint Venture With NEC in Japan Has Been Born

July 16, 2011 · Filed Under Lenovo, Lenovo, Lenovo Computers · Comment 

The joint venture in Japan between NEC Corporation and Lenovo Computers Australia which trades in this country as has been launched and will be named NEC Lenovo Japan Group, which immediately becomes the largest PC manufacturer in that country, controlling approximately 25 per cent of the Japanese PC market, with a strong presence in consumer, enterprise and government sectors.

The two companies, Lenovo Coupons and NEC both hold stakes in the new venture, which is 51 per cent owned by Lenovo, with the remaining 49 per cent held by NEC. As part of the deal, Lenovo paid NEC US$175 million using its own shares as currency. The combined operations of both companies will maintain both brands, and continue selling them through their existing distribution networks.

According to Milko Van Duijl who runs the mature markets business unit at Lenovo, the decision to merge the two operations is part of ” our global strategy of ‘Protect and Attack. We protect our areas of strength, like China and the Think business, and grow elsewhere. This puts us in the number one spot in two of the three biggest markets of the world. The key thing about our strategy is that it fits on one page — Protect and Attack,” Duijl said. “It’s a simple strategy and it works.”

Outside of the enterprise segment, the strategy is key to growing Lenovo’s other business segments, in which in countries outside of its core domestic market of China, Lenovo tends to be historically stronger as a result of its IBM legacy.

“We are now growing SMB and growing consumer big time,” he said. “Our scale is going up and we become even more cost competitive because our scale goes up. It’s the next step in becoming one of the largest PC vendors in the world.”

Mr. Van Duijl says that whilst Lenovo does have a strong retail presence throughout China, its presence in the retail space throughout the rest of the world has been fairly limited, though the SMB presence has been growing, and has much room to expand, resulting in Lenovo reacting with an aggressive strategy of new branding and products.

“Our Think products were mainly commercial products for large accounts, so we brought out ThinkEdge for SMBs, and made commitments to the channel to take that to market, with further commitments that we wouldn’t go after their services businesses.

“The lower end of the SMB usually buys retail, so we built a brand there because the products are so different, the Idea line for consumers,” Van Duijl said.
The Lenovo branding campaign has a specific focus on the U.S.

“We are driving into the big retailers, with new brands and products for the new segments, and we have stepped up for SMBs and we would not complete with our channel. We are now in Best Buy in the U.S. in 2000 stores, and we are still in the evaluation phase in the UK, France, Italy and Canada.”

Van Duijl said that Lenovo’s non-PC products are still a tiny part of their wares, but expect them to grow significantly.

“We are still doing very small numbers in servers because we didn’t want to do many things at the same time, and we made a decision to go for the lower end of that market,” he said. “We don’t so storage yet, but are evaluating that as well. We started doing smartphones in China under the Lenovo brand last year. We have two consumer tablets, Windows and Android, and a slate tablet towards the end of August. We believe that will be a big differentiator.”

Lenovo Has Long Climb Ahead Of It

July 8, 2011 · Filed Under Lenovo, Lenovo, Lenovo Computers, News · Comment 

Lenovo Group, which trades in this country as Lenovo Computers Australia is the world’s fourth largest manufacturer of personal computers, and has aggressive expansion plans in the mature markets of the US, Europe and Japan.

In 2005 Lenovo Coupons acquired the money losing PC business of IBM in a transformational deal, which despite being of a game changing nature for Lenovo still has not translated into global dominance. Lenovo continues to dominate in its core domestic market China, which makes it the fastest growing PC maker anywhere, but needs to establish a larger footprint internationally.

This year, the company did two transactions, the first was a joint venture in Japan with NEC, which according the Gartner, a market research firm, vaulted the company’s market share from 5.7% to a dominant 18% of the entire Japanese market. Lenovo’s second transaction was the acquisition of German consumer electronics manufacturer and retailer Medion AG, which when complete will takes its market share in Western Europe to 7.4 per cent.

Lenovo President and Chief Operating Officer Rory Read says the company seeks to achieve a 10 per cent market share in the American and European markets. He says the “attack and defend” strategy developed by Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing is working.

“On the protect side, we’re like a boxer protecting our heart and our head,” Read said in an interview. “Our heart is our China business and our head is our Think business. On the attack side, we’re going after small and medium-size businesses, and consumers.”

Lenovo Coupons shares trade on the Hong Kong stock exchange, known locally as the Hang Seng Index. This year Lenovo shares have fallen 13%, but have rallied since May, after the company reported a tripling of quarterly profits. Mr. Read says the company is considering a listing in the US, but has yet to commit.

“We’re always looking at how to expand the investor base,” he said. “There’s interest in a (mainland) China listing and, of course, a New York listing is attractive.

“From a standpoint of what’s important — let’s stick to our knitting, keep growing, keep taking share. If we keep producing good results, then we can expand the investor base. We’re happy with Hang Seng, but we’re definitely looking at different alternatives and expanding the base.”

Earlier this month Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing purchased an 8 per cent stake in the company for over $400 million, acquiring the shares from the parent company Legend Holdings.

After acquiring the IBM PC business, Lenovo has struggled, particularly since the global financial crisis.

Mr. Yang was named company chairman post the IBM transaction, and in 2009 resumed his role as chief executive. His first move was to immediately reacquire the company’s mobile division which had been sold to the parent Legend Holdings, in what proved to be a strategic mistake.

The company intends to increasingly focus on the mobile segment and is developing a range of smartphones and tablets, having released its first phone the LePhone in China earlier in the year.

In America, the company intends to launch at least three new tablet devices, two of which will run Android, and the third will be a Microsoft powered device.

Mr. Read says he is most optimistic about a ThinkPad branded tablet device, which he says is primarily aimed at business and will include a stylus for writing. The company is increasingly focusing on developing a range of laptops and desktops that will better access cloud based services.

Lenovo Remains On The Hunt For Acquisition Targets

July 6, 2011 · Filed Under Lenovo, Lenovo, Lenovo Computers · Comment 

Despite announcing two major transactions, Lenovo Group, the Chinese personal computer maker who operates in this country as Lenovo Computers Australia, says it is on the lookout for further acquisitions outside its key domestic market of China, and would raise more capital if necessary to fund any deal.

Lenovo Coupons, CFO Wong Wai Ming made his comments on Thursday, which follow the recent announcement that the company intends to acquire German consumer electronics manufacturer and retailer Medion AG for US$662.5 million. At the start of the year Lenovo announced that it would invest US$175 million in a joint venture with Japanese PC manufacturer NEC, in a deal that would transform it into the number one PC maker in that market.

Both deals come against a backdrop of ambitious expansion plans in multiple arenas for Lenovo, with a particular emphasis on emerging markets, and the mature market consumer segment.

Mr. Wong says that Lenovo Coupons intends to continue focusing on growth that is organic despite the fact that it also intends to pursue a strategy based on acquisitions.

“We continue to be interested in growing inorganically, but one very important issue is we will not rely [on] inorganic growth, meaning acquisitions, to push our growth,” he said.

In 2005 Lenovo acquired the personal computing business of IBM in a transformative deal, turning the company into a global player and the fourth largest in the world overnight. Last year the company had managed to capture nearly 10 per cent of the global market for PC’s according to date from market research firm IDC.

In terms of potential acquisitions targets, Mr. Wong said that Lenovo intends to examine regions which provide strong growth potential, without elaborating further. He did say that in particular the company was also looking at acquisitions in its key domestic market China, where it would seek acquisitions that would most likely be outside of the PC sector.

Lenovo Unveils Prototype With Eye Tracking Technology

July 4, 2011 · Filed Under Lenovo, Lenovo, Lenovo Computers · Comment 

The mouse and keyboard is the legacy interface for the computer that for many who suffer from repetitive strain injury can be a literal pain. Mouse killing technology is out there that has the potential to revolutionize the way humans interact with their computers.

Lenovo Coupons, the Chinese PC manufacturer earlier in the year unveiled its prototype laptop which has the capability of tracking the users eye movement, enabling them to move cursors and open folders simply by looking at the screen.

The Lenovo Coupons prototype was equipped with built in infra red and image sensor eye tracking technology, capable of detecting the position of the users pupils.

“Within a couple of years we’ll see eye-tracking in consumer products, like consumer computing and cars,” says Jenny Grant, strategic business development manager for Tobii Technology.

According to Ms. Grant, keyboards will not be relegated to the technology dustbin of history, hands are much better suited to certain things she says, however when it comes to showing where one’s attention lies, the eyes as they say are the mirrors of the soul.

Currently technology which is used to track the eye remains both complex and expensive says Ms. Grant. The seemingly simple task of reading different eye colours, and head movement has taken many years of research.

“The biggest issue is not a technical one. It is getting consumers to want to use eye-tracking. Consumers take a long time to change — if they ever do,” says Hung LeHong, research vice president for Gartner’s innovation research team.

“Remote eye-tracking reduces the intrusiveness of older-style eye-tracking, and gesture control’s rise will help the adoption of eye-tracking, but consumers are hard to train or convince to use these types of technologies.”

Over the next couple of years perhaps the most common place one will see the technology in use will be in interactive public displays, which for some will be life improving, and has the potential to life changing for thousands of people with disability.

“We’re very, very proud of that,” says Grant. “We give them a possibility to communicate with their parents and friends and give them a freedom to interact like others and do what they enjoy.”
