Very uninspiring, with a flavor of "we don't feel the need to change much, doin' pretty well with the decision making so far, hang in there, something might be coming sometime, thanks!"

Yep he really will never make it as a leader. No inspiration at all.
Hard to believe he's a senior marketing guy.
Now Ricoh may not actually want to pursue the US market heavily upfront preferring instead to continue with the Pursue Asia strategy. Since that is the biggest growth market with China opening up it may well be a valid idea with limited resources. who knows???
It will of course drive many who believe the US is the only Market in the world absolutely crazy though
