Robert Adams, president of Xerox Technology Ventures, has been in Tokyo extolling the virtues of its relationship with its Fuji Xerox Ltd affiliate: discussing the the relationship between Xerox Corp and its off-shoot, Adams said that it was a dream relationship, and an increasingly two-way one under which Fuji Xerox’s research and development laboratory was increasingly making contributions to the Xerox counterpart in Palo Alto; Fuji Xerox contributed around 30% of Xerox revenues, with Europe contributing slightly under that; its most successful computer product is the J-Star Japanese language word processing system; Adams visits Japan frequently in his new role of trying to interest companies in turning technology coming out of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre into products on a joint venture basis.
