The main goal of this thesis is to determine what mistakes and steps led to this failure. By highlighting the mistakes of a large company like Kodak, many other firms may learn valuable lessons from Kodak’s failure. In order to articulate the various reasons for Kodak’s bankruptcy, several different methods will be used, and the combined results will define the reason(s) for this failure. To obtain these necessary results, analysis such as Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT), Porter’s Five Forces, the Life Cycle of the Product, and the Calculations of Financial Ratios will be used. Each of these methods produced slightly different results, but, taken together, the consensus was that Kodak underestimated the industry transition from film to digital technology. This, together with other factors, like the decline of sales in roll film and the rise of strong competitors, caused the company to declare bankruptcy in 2012. 1. Introduction The research question of this thesis is “Why did Kodak go bankrupt?” In the process of developing the first draft of an outline for my senior project, I read many different case studies about Kodak that helped me understand the company’s decline in a logical, structured way. The thesis statement is an important, integral beginning point for every essay. It should demonstrate the main points or the essential core of the senior project. I have been developing this thesis statement based on the sources I have read so far from the available body of knowledge on this topic. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the rise and fall of the Eastman Kodak Company (hereafter referred to as Kodak) in 2012, in order to provide useful retrospective material for other companies to be able to learn from Kodak’s mistakes and be aware of better approaches and practices in terms of decision making going forward. The first part of this senior project will focus on Kodak’s rise to a position of prominence within the photo retail industry. To clearly and accurately introduce the reasons behind Kodak’s success, I will start from its primary sector, photography, where the history and the development of personal photography will be explained by providing the ideas of George Eastman who, in collaboration with another professional, developed and established the Eastman Kodak Company. The global rise of the Kodak brand, the development and success of roll film, the invention of the first personal cameras, and other important aspects of Kodak will be analyzed and explained. Kodak fell from a leading position in the market. All of the steps that led to this failure will be analyzed and discussed beginning with the business strategy Kodak had been following from its inception until the digitalization of the industry. For Kodak, the turning 6 point was the development of the first digital camera in the world and the subsequent refusal of company leadership to develop this type of camera for the commercial photography market. The reason for this is simple and can be found in the form of another corporation with a similar business model: Gillette. Gillette does not generate the majority of its profits from selling razors; most of the profits are from the sale of blades. This was the same case was for Kodak with the sale of cameras and rolls of film. Rolls of film represented the biggest revenue stream for the company. Therefore, investments were made in this sector because of demand from the market. The next important segment discussed in the outline will be the competitor’s analysis and the comparison of Kodak with other photography-based companies (particularly Fuji film) which are alive and well in today’s market. The beginning of Kodak’s decline as well as the steps taken by joint venture companies, the sale of patents, and other similarities will be explained as contributing factors to the bankruptcy itself. 2. Literature Review 2.1. Introduction The main goal of this Literature review is to collect and summarize already existing arguments and theories about the fall of the Eastman Kodak company in 2012 and supplement them with the additional knowledge obtained by using the several different methods and analyses previously described. The literature review should help orient the reader with regard to this topic and help them navigate different sources of information on this topic to compare different conclusions. 2.2. Sources The history of Kodak and about George Eastman will be drawn primarily from the original Kodak company page where goes into explicit detail and supports its statements by providing relevant pictures and articles from newspapers published during the 7 company’s timeline. Information provided on the Kodak page will be used as a primary source for the history of the company. However, it will not be relevant for further

  • 165Th Historic Preservation Meeting Notes (Pdf)
    September SRB Meeting Notes – Jennifer Walkowski LE ROY DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT Sponsor: Le Roy Business Council Funding: Preserve NY Grant POS: 1811-1963 SLIDE 1: Intro The Le Roy Downtown Historic District is significant as a highly intact collection of residential and commercial buildings that reflect the evolution of the primary traffic artery through Le Roy, demonstrating its growth from frontier settlement to a bustling community in the twentieth-century. The Le Roy Downtown Historic District is eligible under Criterion C in the area of Architecture and Criterion A in the areas of Commercial and Social History. Main Street anchored early commercial and residential development in the Village of Le Roy, and it remains the primary thoroughfare and commercial corridor of the town. The district contains a variety of buildings that reflect the evolution of popular architectural styles from the early nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century. SLIDE 2: Map Early settlement in Le Roy clustered toward the eastern end of the historic district, nearest to Oatka Creek, which powered the mills that drove the town’s early industry. Commercial development started adjacent to these early mills, while residential settlement spread in a linear pattern along what became known as Main Street. Because the Main Street corridor remained a 1 primary focus of investment and development as the village evolved and flourished in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, buildings in the district represent a wide variety of eras, from the earliest settlement before the Village of Le Roy was officially organized to the automobile-centric recent past. SLIDE 3: Historic photos The period of significance for the Le Roy Downtown Historic District extends from 1811 to 1963, the construction dates of the oldest and newest contributing buildings in the district.

  • How Digital Cameras Capture Light
    1 Open Your Shutters How Digital Cameras Capture Light Avery Cirincione­Lynch Eighth Grade Project Paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter School June 2014 2 Cover image courtesy of tumblr.com How Can I Develop This: Introduction Imagine you are walking into a dark room; at first you can't see anything, but as your pupils begin to dilate, you can start to see the details and colors of the room. Now imagine you are holding a film camera in a field of flowers on a sunny day; you focus on a beautiful flower and snap a picture. Once you develop it, it comes out just how you wanted it to so you hang it on your wall. Lastly, imagine you are standing over that same flower, but, this time after snapping the photograph, instead of having to developing it, you can just download it to a computer and print it out. All three of these scenarios are examples of capturing light. Our eyes use an optic nerve in the back of the eye that converts the image it senses into a set of electric signals and transmits it to the brain (Wikipedia, Eye). Film cameras use film; once the image is projected through the lens and on to the film, a chemical reaction occurs recording the light. Digital cameras use electronic sensors in the back of the camera to capture the light. Currently, there are two main types of sensors used for digital photography: the charge­coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal­oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. Both of these methods convert the intensity of the light at each pixel into binary form, so the picture can be displayed and saved as a digital file (Wikipedia, Image Sensor).

The project area encompasses 11 ha (27 ac). USGS 7.5 Minute Quadrangle: 1971 Rochester East, N.Y. Sensitivity Assessments: Precontact: An analysis of the distribution of previously recorded sites along with other background research data suggests that the project area has a high sensitivity for precontact archaeological sites. Sites have been found in the vicinity of the project area and along the Genesee River, which lies close to the west end of the project area. Site types expected to occur include villages, short-term camps, lithic scatters, and artifact find spots. Sensitivity may be degraded by modern land use including recent utility installations, commercial and residential development, parking lot and sidewalk construction, highway construction, and landscaping. Historic land use patterns indicate that most of the project area has been impacted by development. However, relatively undisturbed precontact deposits may remain in the project area, especially around the perimeter of the project area.

  • Revolutionizing Communication Picture by Picture Sadie Korngold
    The Digital Camera: Revolutionizing Communication Picture by Picture Sadie Korngold-Finkelstein and April Tong Senior Division Group Website Student Composed Website Words: 1199 words Media: 0:00 minutes Process Paper Word Count: 500 1 We chose the topic of how the digital camera revolutionized communication while thinking about the activities that interest us. We both enjoy photography and simultaneously use social media frequently. In the age of technology and cameras, social media is a primary way to communicate with your friends and spread news. At first we wanted to focus our project on the life of the first digital camera’s inventor, Steven Sasson, however, we shifted our project to the digital camera when we realized the bigger long term impacts. The photos everyone scrolls through on Instagram or Facebook are informing the public or their followers about current events or popular topics of the day. These photos were only made possible from the functions of the first digital camera which later transitioned into camera phones, and then smartphones. The majority of our research came from news articles and websites we found on the internet. We used many of The New York Times articles about the digital camera and Steven ​ ​ Sasson since it is a reliable source. In addition, we watched many interviews on Sasson from different sources, such as Kodak, about his process of creating the first digital camera. We aimed for finding sources from when the camera was released and the inventions to follow. For example, we used The New York Times archives to find articles from the day Kodak announced ​ ​ their bankruptcy and when the first camera phone was released.
