Sipping is the game
In the beginning, when you need to mail a letter or a parcel, there was one place that came to mine, the United State Postal Service (USPS). People would line up for hours to ship their Birthday and Christmas gifts across land and sea; however, the changes of that package being delivered on time and in one piece were slim to none. So the shipping war began between USPS, FedEx and the United Parcel Service (UPS) for who can ship your packages safer and faster. When the two major shipping companies, FedEx and UPS began to battle it out, one decided to change the game and add printing services, thus changing the organizational structure of all three companies to compete with the ever growing FedEx and FedEx Office.
In the world of printing on paper, one company name ruled over all others; that name was KINKO’S. Kinko’s was founded in September 1970 in Santa Barbara, California by Paul Orfalea who coined the business name from is nickname “Kinko” due to his red curly hair. Sensing the need for expansion to better serve a wide range of customer, FedEx Corporation acquired Kinko’s thus changing the name of the stores to FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Services; however, in June 2008, the company name was changed to FedEx Office to better reflect its products and services. With all this change, the company FedEx Office has to undergo some change in it organizational structure to align with FedEx’s structure.
FedEx Corporation decided to change the organizational structure to fit two categories of products and services, on for shipping and one for printing. Each department has a conventional and a functional organizational structure with our CEO Fred Smith and the board of directors overseeing all companies with FedEx in the name.
