18. Introduction
 Overview
 Xerox 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 Xerox
 PARC 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
18

19. 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 mid1970s, 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
19

20. Their philosophy
 Strengthens
 Flexibilities
 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

21. Their philosophy
 Network to Stanford University
 Being 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
 The relationship with Apple
 Apple firstly succeeded GUI on its Macintosh, inspired by PARC’s
GUI technology
 Supports to venture clients
 Technology supports and joint researches with startups
 Capital rent to them as a form of rooms, PCs, software, research
facilities
21

22. Their business model
 How they are earning
 Even 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
