Regarded by many people as the most successful business product ever introduced, it created a new industry. During the 1960s Xerox grew rapidly, selling all it could produce and reaching $1 billion in revenue in a record-setting time. By the mid-1970s return on assets was in the low 20 % range. Its competitive advantage was due to strong patients, a growing market, and little competition. In such an environment, management was not pressed to focus on customers. During the 1970s, however, IBM and Kodak entered the high-volume copier business-Xerox’s principal market.

In addition, the Federal Tarde Commission accused Xerox of illegally monopolizing the copier businesses. After negotiations, Xerox agreed to open approximately 1,700 patents…arrow_forwardCoca-Cola is a well-established consumer products company with a strong position in the global market The sales of its core soda products have remained relatively stable for decades, yet the company has continued to grow and has remained extremely profitable.

The CBDC has been gaining popularity among the so-called global elite. To quote a New York Times article To keep their money relevant, many central banks are experimenting with digital versions of their currencies. These currencies are virtual, like Bitcoin; but unlike Bitcoin, which is a private enterprise, they are issued by the state and function much like traditional currencies. The idea is for central banks to introduce these digital currencies in limited circulation — to exist alongside cash as just another monetary option — and then to broaden their circulation over time, as they gain in popularity and cash fades away...A central-bank digital currency can [sic] be a useful policy tool.
