"According to the letter to shareholders, Dell has achieved record growth over the past several years. It continues to reach new sales levels and break records. The CEO and Chairman of the Board are optimistic that this growth will continue into the future. They attribute their exceptional growth to an approach that focuses on the customer. Dell will continue to expand its holdings on a global basis, particularly in the Asian pacific. Dell expects to double its business in China and other emerging nations (Shareholder Letter, p. 1)."
