"Many companies in the equipment leasing industry follow the same lead. That is, when one organization does something that seems to work, many others follow suit. In today's tough market, some lessors think they need to model themselves after GE Capital to survive. Successful smaller, niche players in the industry, however, are wary of such an approach, wondering if it is in their best interest.
