better Kodak reorganization
I read that Kodak is going to focus on printing, packaging and software
I read they are selling their film business but keeping their motion picture business what the strategic planners their should do is 1) map out ALL the imaging workflows 2) indicate all participations, systems or products 3) identify customers and partners 4) build business cases and don't forget 5) ask why there aren't participations 6) keep up with changes in workflows 7) central system offerings are best to vie 8) create better workflows -- Dale |

These are they guys who once tasked their people with finding a way to kill the digital revolution to protect their film business. |

What plan did Kodak devise to kill digital photography? That is a slightly unkind caricature but unfortunately is also not too wide of the mark. I was an early adopter of Kodaks Pro PhotoCD scanning service which at the time was incredible. Drum scanning was a real PITA. Then they launched Kodak PictureCD which was ISTR a sub 2Mpixel poxily compressed JPEG with no redeeming features. Most users of PhotoCD bought a Nikon scanner after one experience of getting useless PictureCD confusion after asking for PhotoCD and *NEVER* went back. Kodak marketing was brilliant at shooting itself in the foot with both barrels. I bought my newly released DC-120 digicam as remaindered stock because they launched the numerical permutation DC-210 only weeks later. If you wanted to sow confusion it is hard to imagine a better strategy. The film guys really were in control and didn't want digital spoiling their party. They failed to spot that the winds of change were coming. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

What plan did Kodak devise to kill digital photography? I did read the article, so I'll see if I can dig it up for you. Yes, Kodak tried to stave off digital to save their film business. |
