    Mgt/230 Decision Making Process

    The first thing I did was my budget to see how much I could afford for a car note. With my luck I remembered receiving a flyer in the mail about a sale coming soon at a car dealership. Once I had my budget figured out, I went to the dealership. Every car offered was not in my budget, if it was in my budget I did not like it. I decided to keep looking elsewhere. Second, I decided it would be a time saver if I shopped online. I searched three places for one particular vehicle that I grew to like. Once I found “the one” I called each dealership to get an estimate of my payments. Once I was told the amount I wanted to hear, I went the following week to purchase my new vehicle.…

    Leadership of Anne Mulcahy

    Anne Mulcahy was an employee of Xerox for 24 years that she spent within Sales, Human Resources and served as the chief of staff for former CEO, Paul Allaire. At 47 years old, all of that changed when Mulcahy took over as the CEO of Xerox. She had an excellent reputation within the company but nobody, not even herself, had pinned her as the CEO type. Many companies still believe in the old adage, that the CEO has to be a strong willed male, who saw the big picture, distanced himself from the rest of the company and has particular “leadership” characteristics. Mulcahy did not exude any of these above-mentioned characteristics besides the fact that she was very strong willed. As mentioned in the Fortune article, she was very straightforward, hard working, and disciplined. She was completely loyal to Xerox, not only the company itself, but the brand and the people within it. During her reign at Xerox she has shown that she has incredible integrity and while she can be compassionate, she is able to be tough when necessary.…

    Xerox was founded in 1906 in Rochester as "The Haloid Photographic Company", which originally manufactured photographic paper and equipment. The company later changed its name to "Haloid Xerox" in 1958 and then simply "Xerox Corporation" in 1961. The company came to prominence in 1962 with the introduction of the Xerox 914, the first plain paper photocopier using the process of Electro-photography, which later was changed to xerography developed by Chester Carlson. The 914 was so popular that by the end of 1961, Xerox had almost $60 million in revenue. By 1965, revenues leaped to over $500 million. In September 2004, Xerox celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Xerox 914. More than 200,000 units were made around the world between 1959 and 1976; the year production of the 914 was stopped. Today, the 914 is part of American history as an artifact in the Smithsonian Institution. On May 21, 2009, it was announced that Ursula Burns would succeed Anne Mulcahy as CEO of Xerox.
