5. ISSUES IN CASE
• During the 1970s, however, IBM and Kodak entered the
high-volume copier business—Xerox’s principal market.
Several Japanese companies introduced high-quality low-
volume copiers, a market that Xerox had virtually
ignored, and established a foundation for moving into the
high- volume market
• Xerox was soon losing market share to Japanese
competitors, and by the early 1980s it faced a serious
competitive threat from copy machine manufacturers in
Japan; Xerox’s market share had fallen to less than 50
percent
6. CONTD …
• In comparing itself with its competition, Xerox
discovered that it had nine times as many suppliers, twice
as many employees, cycle times
• That were twice as long, 10 times as many rejects, and
seven times as many manufacturing defects in finished
products. It was clear that radical changes were required
7. LEADERSHIP THROUGH QUALITY
