The case examines various strategies adopted by the US based Gateway Inc, a leading computer retailer, in its efforts to capture a sizeable market share in the consumer and small business segment in the US. 
 It discusses in detail the 'clicks-and-mortar' and 'beyond-the-box' strategies, their implementation by Gateway and their implications. The case also identifies the drawbacks of these strategies that resulted in their short-term success.
