Following other tech giants in bolstering revenue from services, Xerox has agreed to buy Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., for $6.4 billion. School of Management Prof. N. Venkat Venkatraman, chair of the Information systems Department, says the move was a competitive necessity.
“The premium seems a bit high, but the acquisition gives Xerox decent scale to compete against HP, CSC and others.”
