Dell came to the conclusion that there isn't much money in moving boxes rather late in the game.

But consider the fact that Dell's business plan ensured that most of the inventory was paid for by the buyers.... you placed your order and paid and waited for delivery... that is why I say that the inventory -- as well as the labor charges -- was being paid for by buyers. And of course the component suppliers were paid 30 days later so Dell lived very well on the float!

Despite that, it managed to piss away its earnings on bloated corporate overhead.

Conclusion: Bloat destroys float!
