About this Quote

In 1968, IBM, a leading technology business, decided to enter the copying business. This choice was made by Arthur Rock, an investor and one of the founders of the business. Rock believed that IBM had the prospective to become a significant player in the copying industry, and he wanted to profit from the chance. By getting in the copying organization, IBM would have the ability to expand its item offerings and reach a wider customer base. Furthermore, Rock thought that IBM might utilize its existing technology and proficiency to develop a superior product. This decision was a major turning point for IBM, as it permitted the company to end up being a major gamer in the copying market. It also assisted to solidify IBM's position as a leader in the innovation industry.
