Problem:
Lenovo, the Chinese computer manufacturer, is buying a variety of US castoff businesses and becoming a giant in the world of laptops, servers, tablets and mobile phones.
Question 1) Do you agree with Lenovo's strategy? Are US companies like IBM and Motorola/Google making a mistake selling their unprofitable businesses to Lenovo?
Question 2) Is Lenovo ever going to become a first-class research company, or will it remain a "re-seller" of low cost personal electronics? Explain the solution in detail.
