Yang Yuanqing, chairman of Lenovo Group, recently said that unlike Huawei, Lenovo will not devote time and energy to the development of its own chips and operating systems, but will focus on assembly business, which is Lenovo's core competitiveness. He believes that developing chips and operating systems requires a lot of investment, and Lenovo's current R&D investment is relatively small. However, Lenovo relies on its strong supply chain capabilities and ability to respond quickly to market changes to sell high-quality products worldwide and maintain its leading position in the global market and growth in the smartphone market.
Lenovo firmly believes that a steady and focused focus on the assembly business is the key to its core competitiveness. As one of the world's largest computer manufacturers, Lenovo buys chips and operating systems by partnering with other companies to ensure the high quality and performance of its products. This strategy allows Lenovo to focus more on providing superior assembly services while reducing R&D and production costs.
While one might think that Lenovo's decision was somewhat conservative, such a strategy has proven to be successful. With its efficient supply chain management and global sales network, Lenovo has sold a large number of computers and smartphones around the world. Despite the fierce competition in the market, Lenovo has been able to maintain its leading position and continue to increase its share in the smartphone market.
In addition to the assembly business, Lenovo is also actively involved in the development and promotion of innovative products. In recent years, Lenovo has launched a series of well-received products, such as the Yoga series of laptops and the Moto series of smartphones. Not only do these products offer outstanding performance and design, but they also incorporate the latest technology and features. By continuously offering innovative products, Lenovo is able to meet consumer demand for high quality and diverse choices, which in turn increases sales and market share.
However, despite Lenovo's success in assembling businesses and innovating products, chip and operating system development remains a key area. As a global tech giant, having the ability to independently develop and produce chips and operating systems will make Lenovo more competitive and better able to grasp market opportunities. As a result, Lenovo may need to re-evaluate its strategy and increase its R&D investment to ensure a sustainable future.
Overall, Lenovo has maintained its leading position in the global market and achieved growth in the smartphone market by focusing on strengths such as assembly operations and leveraging supply chain capabilities. However, as the technology industry continues to evolve, Lenovo may need to focus more on innovation and independent R&D in order to cope with fierce competition and changing market demands. Only by constantly adapting and innovating will Lenovo be able to remain competitive and continue to succeed in the future.
