Since it set up its industrial-education program in 1965, the Xerox Corp. of Rochester has cranked up sales of crisp courses in business skills to 20,000 a month. Currently boasting three short (up to three days) courses that include drills on sales and problem-solving techniques as well as "effective listening," the program has drawn more than 500,000 students from such companies as Pfizer, General Electric, Burlington Industries...
