Investopedia explains 'Michael S. Dell'
Michael Dell was born in 1965 in Houston. His company, Dell, distinguishes itself from other computer manufacturers by allowing customers to order computers with customized specifications directly from the company rather than purchasing premade computers off the shelf in retail stores. It also developed a strategy to limit the company's inventory so it could rapidly and profitably adapt to changing technology. This business model allows Dell to be highly competitive both in price and in customer service. His success allowed him to create the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation with his wife in 1999 to improve the health and education of children living in urban poverty in the United States, South Africa and India.
