How Eastman did it?
Technology as
innovation trigger
George Eastman developed &
patent a machine to
coat plates in 1879
Dry plate/ gelatin
process by invented by Dr. Richard L. Maddox
in 1871
In 1878, Bennett
improve the gelatin process

In 1880 Eastman began commercial manufacture of dry plate.
Businessman Henry A. Strong was impressed with its success.
On January 1, 1881, Eastman and Strong partnership to form Eastman Dry Plate Company.
Innovation to Entrepreneurship

• In 1884, Eastman patented the first film in roll form.
• In 1885 it started manufacturing paper film named “Kodak”.
• The cameras were so successful that the “Kodak” word was incorporated into the company name.
Disruption From Dry Plate to Roll Films

Eastman Kodak Company
• The Eastman Kodak Company was founded in 1892.
• By targeting non photographers, Kodak created a huge market.
![Page 9: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Snap-Shot Feature• In 1900, Eastman
introduced Brownie, a simple and very inexpensive box camera with snapshot.
• Brownie camera allowed consumers to take their own pictures.
• They could then mail the roll of film to Kodak to develop.

Kodak brought photography to the people, just like Ford brought cars to the people.

Kodak became a household name.
![Page 14: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Growth
• People loved to take photos, and as they became richer, they took more photos…
• And thus, Kodak made more money and kept growing, and growing.

Color film was the next big thing.

In 1957, the Kodak Brownie Starmatic was launched. Over the coming five years more than 10 million of them were sold!
![Page 24: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
But even greater revenues were made by selling film.

Just like Gillette made great money by selling razor
blades, Kodak made great money by selling film.
The main source of profit was not the razor or the camera, it was the continuous consumption of blades and film.

1st Digital Camera
• Steven Sasson invented the first digital camera at Eastman Kodak in 1975.
• It weighed 8 pounds (3.6 kg) and had only 0.01 megapixels. The image was recorded onto a cassette tape and this process took 23 seconds.
• His camera took images in black-and-white.
• He envisioned for the future was a camera without mechanical moving parts.

HOW DID KODAK RESPONSE?
But it was filmless photography, so management’s reaction was, ‘that’s cute—but don’t tell anyone about it.’via The New York Times (5/2/2008)
![Page 36: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
1976:The Bayer Pattern color filter array (CFA) was invented by Eastman Kodak researcher Bryce Bayer.

Kodak management’s inability to see digital photography as a disruptive technology, even as its researchers extended the boundaries of the technology.
Kodak continued producing film roll cameras.

1976: Kodak introduced the first Kodamatic, instant picture cameras, using a similar film and technology
to that of the Polaroid company.
![Page 40: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• 1976: The company sold 90% of the photographic film in the US along with 85% of the cameras.
•New Kodak Moment: A $19M profit

Kodak kept neglecting Digital technology
![Page 42: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

… However, in the late 1970s, the rise of the Japanese camera industry threatened Kodak…
![Page 44: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

When Fuji sponsored the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles it became clear that the threat was real.

Kodak quickly identified the threat
![Page 50: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
CEO, Barabba conducted a very extensive research.
Good News• It would take about 10
years Digital Photography to take over film based business.
• And Kodak has roughly ten years to prepare for transition.
Badness• Digital Photography
had potential to replace Kodak’s film based business.
![Page 51: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Kodak Strategy
• Continue production of the film based camera technology.
• Expansion in many countries.
• Diversification in medical imaging, pharmacy, batteries
• And also R&D in Digital Photography
![Page 52: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Kodak’s Challenges• Kodak used to be exceptionally integrated
vertically, owning the entire value chain, from basic research to photo finishing.
• However, in the digital world, everything would be different.
• The digital value chain could not be dominated in the same way – Compaq, HP and others were leaders in the PC market, Adobe dominated image software, in printers Canon and HP were leaders.

Solutions
• Kodak therefore launched many joint ventures with these firms, since the company did not possess these resources on their own.
• With the launch of the digital DC40 in 1995, Kodak teamed up with Microsoft, HP, IBM and tried to create an infrastructure for digital imaging.
• Kodak, Olympus and Sanyo all cross licensed thousands of patents in digital imaging.

CEO GEORGE FISHER
“regarded digital photography as the enemy, an evil juggernaut that would kill the chemical-based film and paper business that fueled Kodak’s sales and profits for decades.”via The New York Times (12/25/1999)
![Page 62: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

• In 1997-98, CEO Fisher had to fire 20 000 people, mainly because Fuji lowered their prices and expanded.
• Kodak also responded by entering emerging markets such as China.

results:“They were late to the game in their shift to digital and they have been playing catch-up
since.”

Kodak did embraced Digital Technology
Then, Why If Kodak wasn’t late, why did the company encounter such great trouble…?

One of reason is Recession
“During the last three months of the year, we experienced dramatic declines in several of our key businesses due to the slowdown in consumer spending and significantly reduced demand for capital equipment” // CEO Antonio Perez
![Page 79: Rise and fall of Kodak](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012818/587ea7351a28ab2a4a8b6fbb/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Next: People stopped buying Films.• Many of Kodak’s key resources and capabilities
became virtually useless with this change• The global distribution network lost its value.• People used PCs instead of photo finishing labs.• The supplier network for producing film was also
rendered obsolete. • Knowledge in chemistry and film manufacturing
became an obsolete asset.• The value of film and paper manufacturing sites
was literally demolished.

position etc was destroyed…

Kodak sold its patent to companies like Adobe, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Fujifilm, Google, HTC, Huawei, Microsoft, RIM, Samsung and Shutterfly.
