Introduction

OverviewXerox PARC is a research and development

company in Palo Alto with a distinguished reputation for its contributions to information technology and hardware systems

Founded in 1970 as a division of XeroxPARC has been responsible for such well

known and important developments as laser printing, Ethernet, the modern personal computer, GUI, object-oriented programming, ubiquitous computing, amorphous silicon applications

Introduction

History In 1969, Chief Scientist at Xerox Jack Goldman approached George

Pake, a physicist specializing in nuclear magnetic resonance about starting a second research center

PARC's West Coast location proved to be advantageous in the mid-1970s, when the lab was able to hire many employees of the nearby SRI Augmentation Research Center as that facility's funding from DARPA, NASA, and the U.S. Air Force began to diminish

20

Their philosophy

StrengthensFlexibilities

PARC was selected Palo Alto as the site, although the 3,000 mile buffer between it and Xerox headquarters in Rochester, New York

Afforded scientists at the new lab great freedom to undertake their work, the distance also served as an impediment in persuading management of the promise of some of their greatest achievements

Wide range of research field Innovation Services Content-Centric Networking Printed and Flexible Electronics Cleantech and Energy Big Data Clean Water Contextual Intelligence Design and Digital Manufacturing Health and Wellness Intelligent Automation

Their philosophy

Network to Stanford UniversityBeing situated on Stanford Research Park land leased from

Stanford University allowed Stanford graduate students to be involved in PARC research projects, and PARC scientists to collaborate with academic seminars and projects

Their business model

How they are earningEven though sponsored research

from Xerox is a main source of money to support their business model, others have been increasing recently

One is the sponsored research from other corporates such as Vmware, Fujitsu, DNP, Samsung, NEC, and so forth

Another is the payback from the investment to venture capital
