With such a powerful adversary to contend with, does Lenovo even stand a chance to topple the number one?

A first look at the Lenovo office in Bengaluru shows a refreshingLenovo change from the serious image of IBM. The colour white (complete anti-thesis to the IBM obsession for black computers) dominates in the entire setting, and posters of the celebrity siblings & brand endorsers Saif & Soha Ali Khan adorn the walls. Ask Neeraj Sharma the key to Lenovo’s strategic objectives, and his answer is innovation. He feels Lenovo is one of the typical instances of Thomas Friedman’s ‘fl at world’, as the company is successfully leveraging engineering talent across the world. Three research labs in the US, Japan & China form the heart and soul of Lenovo’s R&D. The American lab works on Think vantage technologies, the Japanese lab for notebook innovations, while the Chinese lab is focused on desktop engineering. This is termed as the ‘innovation triangle’ of Lenovo. And an innovation centre in Mumbai has also come up recently to add to this list.
