We're entering a whole new field. It was a wonderful experience.

48 year old Amelio in December last year as Lenovo's leadership positions. It seems that he is fit for the job. He is a veteran of the U.S. computer industry, will bring some of the experience of DELL and NCR company is half IBM, half of Lenovo, half of the Chinese, half of the United States association. Amelio said in an interview for an hour, you have to climb to the top. But it takes a step by step.

According to market research firm IDC said that in the first quarter of 2006, Lenovo's PC shipments accounted for 6.4% of global market share. The first and second DELL and HP's market share were 18.1% and 16.4%, respectively.

Amelio said that with the United States and Europe's mature market sales growth slowed, the main source of growth will be China, India and Russia and other emerging markets.

Amelio said Lenovo in the Chinese market is in a very favorable position. China's high growth areas are small businesses and very small businesses. We have a very effective business model. He said Lenovo's production and supply chain efficiency in China is also very high.

But Lenovo's market position outside China is not as good as it is in china. Lenovo brand awareness in foreign countries is not high, the operating efficiency is not high.

Amelio said that improving the global supply chain outside China is his first priority. Lenovo needs 6 to 18 months to reach the level of rival DELL. The first is to improve the laptop business, and then to improve the desktop computer business in the global market.

Analysts say Amelio's goal is to turn Lenovo into a global company that is neither Chinese nor american. (C000)
