Leadership and Management

Yoshinori Yamashita is the President and CEO of Ricoh. Under his leadership, Ricoh's main goal is to improve the quality of living and drive sustainability. As of last year, Ricoh was named #1202 on the Forbes Global 2000 list.

Our team agrees that the hardest part of leading and managing Ricoh is most likely keeping up technological change and having to constantly innovate to meet the needs of the customers. Ricoh was a leading innovator when it first started out; popularizing personal cameras and creating the first office computer are just two of their greatest accomplishments. Ricoh has lost much of its following because they have fallen behind in their innovation of new products in this very technologically centered world. Customers have switched to the competitors, like Cannon or HP, because they are able to better meet their needs.

Through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the Ricoh Group now employs around 110,000 people. Ricoh Group's Human Resources Policy was recently updated to include five simple ideas and methods to help the company grow and acquire the best, most talented individuals. The five policies are as follows:


  1. Wide dissemination of The RICOH Way
  2. Training for top global talent 
  3. Global mobility 
  4. Identification of top talent throughout the world
  5. Global system of personnel management
