Abstract

Richard Thoman was the first and the only Xerox CEO brought in from outside, invited to join the company as it faced various challenges in adapting to the digital market. During his time with Xerox, Thoman helped move the company from analog products to digital products and from selling products to selling solutions. He also reorganized the Xerox sales force. However, his reforms stopped halfway when he was abruptly fired 13 months into the job. Whose fault was it? This case tries to find where the problems reside.
