Lenovo - additional info
Founded in China in 1984, Lenovo has a storied history and an optimistic future. Eleven people from the Chinese Academy of Science started Lenovo, making it the first private and state-owned company in an emerging capitalist Chinese economy. Liu Chuanzhi, one of the original owners, is also the first director of the then known, Legend Group, has helped make Lenovo one of the world's leading PC manufacturers.
The ups and downs of Lenovo in the 1980s and 90s
After securing funding, gaining experience, and developing a network of sales and distribution, Legend Group expanded its brand to include manufacturing. Naturally, they phased out established working relationships with suppliers and manufacturers to suit their needs. Legend Group had early success but suffered a slump in the 90's when China officially opened its market to outside imports.
On the way up
In need of a saviour, Legend Group found a young man named Yang Yuanqing in a restructuring and recruitment period, and director Liu was profoundly impressed with Yang's technical prowess and knowledge of commerce. Liu was so impressed, he decided to make Yang, who comes from poverty, chief of the division of personal computers. Legend Group had found its saviour.
Purchase of IBM's PC division
Yang seized the moment, restructured the company in 2002 and set aside an offer to buy IBM's PC division. Thirteen months later, Yang had successfully brokered a deal between IBM and Legend Group, thereby catapulting Legend to the third largest computer manufacturer in the world. Legend Group changed its name to Lenovo in 2002. The name combines the Latin words Legend and Novo, a symbol of innovation for which Lenovo aspires to daily.
Lenovo and the Olympics
In 2004, Lenovo signed a contract with the International Olympic Committee to provide the technical infrastructure for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This garnered worldwide brand awareness and helped them break into foreign markets. For example, Lenovo provided over 5000 PCs, 350 servers, and 600 laptops for the Turin Games.
