Gateway, Inc. is a leading personal computer (PC) maker in the U.S. with a 15 percent share of the market as of 2001. The firm sells its machines by phone and via the Internet. Operations include 15 call centers, five manufacturing plants, and 275 Country Store showrooms. Declining prices and market saturation in the PC industry prompted the firm to diversify into Internet access services and other Web-based ventures in the late 1990s.
