IBM reboots hdmeTC
WHITE PLAINS, N Y. - IBM’s
desktop personal computer division
is again overhauling operations to
Uy and stem customer defections.
In the latest move, unveiled Tues-
day, IBM said the one e-independent
arm of the consumer division will be
folded into the overall PC unit, which
focuses on machines for businesses.
The remaining portions of the home
PC division, including marketing,
will remain distinct, IBM says. »
The consumer division, formed
two years ago with much fanfare,
has about 11,000 employees world-
wide. IBM says a still-undetermined
number of employees may lose their
jobs or be transferred to other posi-
tions the next several years
The division’s headquarters are in
Somers, N.Y. But the bulk of the staff
works in facilities around the nation.
IBM says the changes are not part
of a dramatic restructuring like the
sweeping overhaul the PC division
went through in 1994. Instead, the
moves entail an ongoing effort to im-
prove operations.
"We're constantly looking ai effi
ciencies and for the right mix to get
costs down.” says Bill Hughes, an
IBM spokesman
Analysts note that IBM’s business
computers are selling moderately
well but say PCs for the home are
floundering Compaq and Packard
Bell are the clear industry leaders in
machines for the home. IBM, once
an industry leader that produced the
first popularly accepted PCs in 1981,
is a distant third.
IBM is bring so badly, analysts
say, not because its Aptiva desktop
units are lacking but because they
cost too much. Compaq and Packard
Bell are offering home PCs for less
than $1.000 — a trend quickly taking
off — but IBM’s lowest-priced Ap-
tiva, introduced in September, still
sells for $1,200
IBM says it will unveil a PC for
less than $1,000 next month, but ana-
lysts say that might be too little, too
late. “IBM has been unwilling to play
the price game because it has con-
vinced itself that customers will pay
extra for a quality product and a
quality name,” says Amy Wohl, an
analyst in Bala Cynwyd, Pa.
“But IBM is ignoring the fact that
its competitors offer products that
cost less and come with as much
quality as IBM.'’
