Dell looks to outsourcing to drive expansion

Dell is revamping their entire business model as they build new factories around the world. Their new goals are to reduce the number of services they provide in-house, do more outsourcing, and put a greater emphasis on design. Dell is currently building a new factory in Brazil and hopes to start building a new plant in India soon. They are also putting together a new team of over 60 design professionals to re-evaluate every current process and model. They want their products to be manufactured more efficiently while still being “cool” and not losing any of their functionality.
How will this affect their business? Will this expansion help or hinder Dell’s ability to be profitable?
