Xerox reorganizes
Case study of Xerox:
In 1985, Xerox reorganized - the sales force was reorganized into a
singles full-line sales force assigned by customer segment and
geography. Five market segments were defined including customer
system users, standard commercial accounts, small business, third
parties, and institutional customers such as government and
educational institutions.
→ Reorganization at Xerox was an immediate success
