So in other words.. their strategy is a photocopy of IBM's strategy?

In that market/space/sector, described at that level of detail, it seems to me like that is consistent with what their strategies have been since at least the dotcom era, and a natural strategy for any company with their resources. I suppose if Toyota has a strategy of providing light trucks, SUVs, minivans, and compact and mid-size sedans, through a network of dealerships which also provide parts and service, their strategy could be described as a photocopy of Ford's, but I think it would be specious to say that.
