Re: RICOH/IKON sales merge
Art - the difference now is that they acquired IKON and there is a Cultural division in the organization that will take a long time to change, if ever. Strong leadership will be another requirement and Kirk Yoshida has proven to be a good Leader in the past. Yet again, now they have IKON and a lot of the talent pool at the former Ricoh in leadership positions are gone. I think the question of 'When?" will not be answered for quite some time.

As employees assimilated the the new culture of looking over their shoulders, keeping their heads down and their pants on, Ricoh became the #1 Copier Vendor in the Industry. The waters were relatively calm until the next blow across the bow, which was XEROX acquiring Global. Documents...
