PROFILE |
 |
Acer has three cards up its sleeve. One of the world's top PC manufacturers, the company has restructured to combat a weakening computer hardware market. It sells notebook and desktop computers, memory chips, servers, and peripherals through its Acer Branded Operations (ABO) unit. Its Design, Manufacturing and Services (DMS) unit makes PCs and other hardware for companies such as Compaq and Fujitsu. Acer's management is handled through its third unit, Holding & Investment Business (HIB). Other restructuring measures include job cuts and plans to spin off DMS. Acer, which has moved out of retail sales in North America, intends to make Asia the focus of ABO products.
