NEC, initially a supplier of telecommunications equipment, dreamed being a leader in ‘C&C,’ computers and communication in 1980s. The company identified three streams of technological and market evolution. • -Computing would evolve from large mainframes to distributed processing (now called “client-server”) • -Components would evolve from simple integrated circuits (ICs) to ultra-large-scale ICs • -Communications would evolve from mechanical cross-bar switching to complex digital systems. The strategic architecture brought the company to $26.2 billion sales in 1992 from $3.8 billion in 1980.
