A solid global strategy must be part of every organization's DNA. For Dell, this means expanding into new countries where it can use its direct model to provide value to customers and create more productive, healthier communities. It also means hiring employees who think and act globally and have a commitment to learn how to work with cultures other than their own. As a major American employer and a company at the forefront of technology, Dell recognizes the demands of the modern workforce and promotes twenty-first-century learning in schools.
