Due to a number of clone products in the market, Intel was unable to differentiate its products from the herd. Consumers were left baffled for choice and often guessing as to the content and performance of MP. Consumers knew Intel through its product offerings which were often being cloned. Intel wanted consumers to recognize its product through the brand Intel itself that connoted reliability and superior performance.
Awareness of Intel logos prior to IB strategy was a meagre 24% in European PC market. That, within 2 years of its launch soared wildly to 94% Worldwide sales within a year of launch of IB strategy rose by63%. By 2002 Intel broke into the list of top 10 most valuable brands.

Brief Conclusion
Strategic decision in 1984 to exit memory was sensemaking after-the-fact Intels internal selection environment, i.e., the production rulethat favored microprocessors, was more adaptively robust that top-down strategy Combination of top-down strategy and bottom-up, or autonomous, strategy is enacted at firms Importance of knowing how and when to bring top-level official strategy in line with bottom-up strategic action Such realignment does not necessarily involve a change in leadership
Innovative Design: Intel was the first to develop DRAM. Moors Law was the brain child of Gordon Moore who was the founder. The law was based on the demand of memory . Intel also produced Worlds first 1Kb DRAM. Price High in early life-cycle: make money and reinvest in subsequent generations. Move Quickly to New generations: As competitors offered substitute products and overall market price decreased, Intel moved to new generations.
Thus, Intel emphasis was on product design, not so much on process development or realizing
Wrong Strategy
Intel though that pushing product design through new features Lack of process capabilities and efficient manufacturing capabilities resisted putting new features to market. Japanese also entered the EPROM market
