QUESTION
HPE focuses on planning. Debate this assertion by making reference
to the case study. In your answer pay attention to the strengths
and weaknesses of planning.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise(HPE) principle feature is innovation which intends to improvise current products and transform it into much sophiscticated and consumer friendly products.
Some features of HPE which also inherently acts as its strengths are:
1)HPE abruptly caters to industrie's IT demands by providing customised safe and secure IT Network/products.It also adhers in its service the best industry standards and as per the contemporary business and market trends.
2)HPE is one of the best leading techno company with best serving position in wide range namely wireless networking,converged system,softwrae,cloud service.
3)HPE is in the industry for more than 75 years marking its presence globally and reaping rich experience in serving clients from varied regions and business of different layout and domains.
4)Due to its long range presence in business arena it can suitably capitalize its traditional technologies and practices in a way forward to future technology.
5)Hewlett Packard Enterprise Lab is the think tank of it which invent the best cutting edge technologies to its customers.
6)Newsroom Hewlett Packard Enterprise introduces the latest products and services,explores trends and provide industry insights and best practices to HPE thus serving as the core basee of HPE's Research & Development wing.
HPE focuses on its growth based heavily on its assumptions of its Futuristic Planning and Goals.Certain facts in support of this statement are as follows:
1)HPE envisage its future growth in the domain of Internet of things(IOT) where the world will drive with effecient smart phones,techno smart cars,business and smart cities.
2)The prospect of even Government adopting the Internet of things in its public deployment is the assumption of HPE in its sought venture regarding its future product planning and growth.
but there are certain limitations in the planning process and thoughts of HPE's Future business goals,some of the limitations are as follows:
1)The future plan of HPE will come to reality only if large segment of Population across the world go Digital but since there is the presence of Digital divide among the nation as well as the globe(Western world being rich in digital world and eastern world being relatively poor in digital infrastrcture) therefore the future of promising digital world does not seem too optimistic.
2)Government sponsorship would also play an important factor in creating a vision of digital world,Digital world would come to reality only if the government adopts IOT throughout the public projects deployment across the entire nation else the hope of digitally sound environment would just vanish.
3)There are also financial and infrastructure constarints like increased spectrum availability,Public private collaboration,Research and development involvement funding which afre critical to the success of HPE's vision.
4)The uniterrupted and free flow of accessibility of network at crucial department all the time would also be a crucial factor which could affect the HPE's future goals as free flow of network all the time may not be available due to certain unforseen events or circumstances.
5)Trade and fiscal policies of the government would also be a limitating factor of success of HPE's venture as a competitive and relaxed pro business taxation would only help to grow corporate otherwise in case of heavy taxation and government intervention private corporates just can not function freely .
6)The Trade barriers imposed by diffrenet nations too are a threat to corporate as liberalised trade practices in foreign trade could only enable HPE access to foreign markets and make it reach globally.
7)HPE fails to see the constant threat and presence of Hackers and unethical elements in cyber world only when digital platform could be well secured than only the Digital environment could nurture and survive in the long run.
