Information from: About more information, please look at Appendix 1.1. Competition in the industryThere are many excellent puter panies can bee the petitors, such as Apple, DELL, Sony and HP. These panies have strong background and finance basis, they also have the quality product and target customers. However, the situation is moving toward what seems like a much more oligopolyorientated situation. Mergers and buyouts occur frequently.

All of these can show us, the orientation of the PC market changes dramatically as big panies merge into larger PC manufactures.2. Threat of new entrantsIn a matured industry means the threat of new entrants is minimal. This is a good news for Lenovo. The rate of new entrants successful is very low.
