Technological change: The last Kodak moment? | The Economist
january 2012 by blech
"While Kodak suffers, its long-time rival Fujifilm is doing rather well. The two firms have much in common." "Both firms saw their traditional business rendered obsolete. But whereas Kodak has so far failed to adapt adequately, Fujifilm has transformed itself into a solidly profitable business, with a market capitalisation, even after a rough year, of some $12.6 billion to Kodak’s $220m. Why did these two firms fare so differently?" Interesting stuff on the death of film (and why seeing the end coming can't always save you from it).
