  • Innovation and Recurring Shifts in Industrial Leadership: Three Phases of Change and Persistence in the Camera Industry*
    Innovation and Recurring Shifts in Industrial Leadership: Three Phases of Change and Persistence in the Camera Industry* Hyo Kang† Jaeyong Song‡ Forthcoming in Research Policy 46(2), 2017 Abstract This study examines factors underlying three phases of change/persistence in industrial leadership in the segment of interchangeable-lens cameras over the past century. During this period there were two major phases of leadership change, both associated with the emergence of innovations involving major discontinuities in the industry’s core technologies. First, Japan won market leadership from Germany in the mid-1960s after commercializing the single-lens reflex (SLR) camera that replaced the previously dominant German rangefinder camera. Second, in the late-2000s, Japanese latecomer firms and a Korean firm developed Mirrorless cameras, which allowed them to capture the majority of market shares from the incumbent Japanese leaders. We also examine the long period (about 60 years) between these two phases of change, during which leading Japanese firms were able to sustain their market leadership despite the digital revolution from the 1980s to 1990s. This paper explores the factors influencing these contrasting experiences of change and persistence in industry leadership. The analysis integrates several aspects of sectoral innovation systems – i.e., windows of opportunity associated with technology, demand, and institution – as well as the strategies of incumbents and latecomer firms. The conclusions highlight the complex and diverse combinations and importance of the factors that help explain the patterns of leadership shift. Keywords: catch-up cycle; industrial leadership; innovation; interchangeable-lens camera JEL: N70, L63, O33 * This research has been supported by the Center for Global Business and Research, Seoul National University.

It was just a dark room with a Leonardo Da Vinci recorded detailed small hole in the wall. In other words, they were descriptions of camera obscura and used it to using camera obscura.

  • MD-System Mit Den Minolta Rokkor-Objektiven Minolta
    Meine Minolta Kleinbildausrüstung In den Siebzigerjahren war ich finanziell bereits so gefestigt, dass ich an die Anschaffung einer "ordentlichen" Kameraausrüstung denken konnte. Die Spiegelreflexkameras aus Japan hatten damals einen qualitativen Höhepunkt erreicht, die Zeit der Nachahmung deutscher Erzeugnisse war längst Geschichte. Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Sony und eben Minolta. Meine Wahl fiel nach Berück- sichtigung von Ratschlägen fachkundiger Freunde auf die Minolta XD mit dem MD- Bajonett und den hochwertigen Rokkor-Objektiven. Dies garantierte auch eine große Auswahl an eigenen und Fremdobjektiven, verbunden mit einer gewissen Langlebigkeit des Systems. Später wechselte ich für Reisen und Schnappschüsse wieder zu kleinern Sucherkameras und letztlich zu den noch handlicheren Digitalkameras. Das Minolta-System habe ich gut konserviert und zusammen mit den Kleinstbildkameras - siehe separate Dokumentation - als Sammlung betrachtet. Auf Photoflohmärkten stößt man heute auf Angebote zu besagtem Minolta-System, dazu passende Kameras wie die ältere SRT 101 und Objektive zu Preisen, für die man seinerzeit gerade einen passenden Filtersatz erhielt. Wenn man sich der Analogfotografie aus Nostalgiegründen stellen will, kann man also um einen Pappenstiel eine wunderbare Ausrüstung zusammenstellen. Ich möchte hier keine wissenschaftliche Abhandlung schreiben, dazu gibt es genug Fachliteratur. Andererseits gerät einfache fotografisches Wissen um Blende Brennweite, Belichtung bei den heutigen automatischen Kameras immer mehr in Vergessenheit und werden auch nur mehr auf Akademien gelehrt. Die Fachliteratur für Otto Normalverbraucher gibt es praktisch nicht mehr, er braucht sie auch nicht. Ein "Selfie" ist auch so drin. Für Freunde, die sich aus Nostalgie mit der Analogfotografie beschäftigen wollen, einen Leitfaden für Antikmärkte suchen, schlage ich als eine von vielen Möglichkeiten vor: Das Minolta SR/MC/ MD-System mit den Minolta Rokkor-Objektiven Minolta: Kazuo Tashima gründete am 11.
