  • Kodak and the Digital Revolution (A)
    9-705-448 REV: NOVEMBER 2, 2005 GIOVANNI GAVETTI REBECCA HENDERSON SIMONA GIORGI Kodak and the Digital Revolution (A) In February 2003, Daniel A. Carp, Kodak’s CEO and chairman, reviewed 2002 sales data with Kodak’s senior executives. Film sales had dropped 5% from 2001 and revenues were down 3%. 2003 did not look any brighter: Carp expected revenues to grow only slightly and net income to remain flat or decrease (see exhibit 1 for information on Kodak’s financial performance and exhibits 2 and 3 for information on sales of cameras and film rolls in the United States). The film industry was “under pressure unlike ever before.” Carp predicted a “fairly long downturn”1 for traditional photography sales as consumers turned to digital cameras, which did not require film. Kodak was moving more of its manufacturing to China, where it could boost film sales, and was planning to slash 2,200 jobs, or 3% of its work force, especially in the photo-finishing business. Carp had received a master’s in business from MIT. He had begun his career at Kodak in 1970 as a statistical analyst. Since then, he had held a variety of positions at Kodak. In 1997, he became president and COO, and was appointed CEO on January 1, 2000. He believed Kodak’s current struggle was one of the toughest it had faced. How could he use digital imaging to revitalize Kodak? Kodak, 1880-1983: A brief history In 1880, George Eastman invented and patented a dry-plate formula and a machine for preparing large numbers of plates.

Four of these five case study discussions each reveal four serious counts of corporate failure on the part of Kodak’s strategic decisions and whilst explicit recommendations are not offered, there are clear explanations as to why the incorrect path has contributed to the firms’ current business challenges. The final topic integrates the previous four by providing an insight into how Kodak has managed to survive despite such imprudent corporate decisions and how it can use the time to reconsider a number of the business’ fundamental strategic choices. 1 The misalignment between an organisation and its environment has been recognised as the number one cause of corporate death. www.thestrategytank.org 2 A Strategic Analysis Historical Context & Timeline In 1880, after inventing and patenting a dry-plate formula and a machine for preparing large numbers of plates, George Eastman

In response to the digital revolution in photography, Kodak has started devoting resources to digital imaging media and other products for both amateur and professional photographers. Kodak still faces fierce competition in the Photography segment with the emergence of the digital market. Eastman Kodak appears to be on the right path with the growth of their digital segment. Even so, Kodak confronts difficulties maintaining its position as the market leader in the photography segment. The company’s revenues and margins have been at risk as consumers shift from conventional to digital photography. Blaisdell Consulting is convinced that Kodak must concentrate on augmenting its position as a leader in the various forms of digital output given that the number of digital camera owners is escalating quickly. Trends suggest that integrated portable devices will be successful and profitable. Blaisdell Consulting advises that Kodak cultivate relationships with the key

  • A Familiar Face and a Personality That Might Surprise You
    What do you see when you look at Kodak? KODAK 2001 a familiar face and a personality that might surprise you For more than 120 years, Kodak products and services have helped shape our world. From preserving memories, to revealing mysteries. From providing entertainment, to archiving documents. From saving lives, to capturing everyday events. But take a closer look. You’ll see that Kodak is more than this. In fact, the characteristics that drive us to create these products and services are what truly define us as a company. In those defining traits, you may even discover yourself. It’s a great feeling, that moment when you not only grasp the problem, but also see the solution. When you’re confident that you’ll get it right because you know what you’re doing. In business, it means working smarter to deliver better value and greater profitability. It’s why we feel good about the improvements we made in manufacturing operations last year. We reduced inventories by 34%—and increased inventory turns by 17%. We dramatically shrank the number of products—or “stock-keeping units”—we offer by focusing on our best-sellers, and eliminating those that were redundant or no longer in demand. We also revamped our Kodak online photo services and acquired Ofoto so that we could meld the best ideas from two of the most successful online services. Similarly, we customized and co- branded online services with key retailers such as Kmart, CVS, Costco and Rite-Aid. We’re not just developing smarter products, but smarter ways to create, deliver and use those products.
