Some Quick Thoughts on Xerox/HP

Konica Minolta is actually beating our friends at Ricoh in operating profit as a percentage of revenue. However, I am not ready to have a celebration as both their current FY are only at the halfway point. I have also decided to start bringing up Katun In all my OEM financial reviews as an attempt to challenge them in what I see as a completely flawed (delusional) attempt at becoming a serious contender in the MFP hardware space. In this episode I will also share concerns regarding awards and how the industry's actors can become delusional if taking too serious gratuitous awards. I believe Konica Minolta has a dysfunctional appetite for gratidius platitudes.
