Office equipment & supplies industry
Article Abstract:
Prospects for the office equipment and supplies industry for 1999 and beyond are good due to product innovations and the successful introduction of these new products. Technology convergence, service expansion, consolidation, and the opening of new stores has also helped the retail sector of the industry to expand in 1998, but laser printers are contributing to the decline of the business forms area. Investors need to focus on those stocks which have strong industry leadership positions and are timely.
