Since 1962, Xerox has entered the Fortune Global 500 list and become a giant in the copier industry. However, today, Xerox is facing crises and difficulties, constantly laying off employees to cut costs——《Beijing Youth Weekly》 recommends this book introduces the development history of Xerox, its decision-making performance at several historical turning points, especially the performance of its CEOs, as well as the copier culture accumulated over half a century.
