Dell, Inc., based in Texas and currently employing 88,000 people worldwide, has been flourishing since the 1980s.

Dell has always embraced experimentation and expansion. In 2002, Dell opened kiosk locations in shopping malls to give personal service to their customers and answer questions. They were soon closed after Dell was invited to sell their computers at such retail giants as Wal-Mart, BestBuy, and Staples.

Dell ran into trouble with their competitors for claiming their Latitude D360 and D380 laptops were the “world’s most secure laptops.” The National Advertising Division released a report in late June 2008 determining that while Dell could not make that claim, they could advertise that it was the first in the industry to combine third party components in creating secure systems for large businesses. Dell opted to discontinue the campaign.
