Xerox now has a Mission Statement, not a Vision Statement, that is given with a list of Core Values. From the company web site, these are:Xerox Mission StatementThrough the world's leading technology and services in business process and document management, we're at the heart of enterprises small to large, giving our clients the freedom to focus on what matters most: their real business.Core ValuesOne thing that never changes is our core values.We succeed through satisfied customers.We deliver quality and excellence in all we do.We require premium return on assets.We use technology to develop market leadership.We value our employees.We behave responsibly as a corporate citizen.Xerox Corporation used to use a Vision statement that said:Xerox is a quality company. Quality is the basic principle for Xerox. Quality means providing our external and internal customers with innovative products and services that fully satisfy their requirements. Quality improvement is the job of every Xerox employee.
Xerox is not a verb and the Xerox Corporation actively discourages its use in that way. Xerox is a trade mark and a shortened form of the company name, Xerox Corporation. Its use as a generic term for all copying machines is part of a general process whereby proper names are transformed into common nouns, sometimes losing their capital letters in the process. This has been going on for a long time (e.g. "shylock"), and is often applied to modern era trademarks. Similar cases are "coke" and "kleenex," both of which are beginning to be found in formal prose. Some people also use 'xerox' informally in place of the verb "to copy" or "to photocopy." This is an example of a linguistic process sometimes called "zero derivation," whereby one part of speech is converted into another without some kind of ending. English has done this sort of thing frequently in the past few centuries--e.g. "watch" or "kill" in some meanings. A more recent example of this applied to a trademark is "google." When such usages fill a gap, they are likely to become acceptable in formal prose at some point.
The Xerox Corporation has not collapsed.
The Xerox Corporation is an independent corporation, not a subsidiary of any other corporation.
