  6. Cumulative Case Study • The Kodak Case brings together several of the key concepts discussed in the course to date: • Disruptive technology • Innovation and the culture of innovation • Financial concepts such as NPV • Change management • We will approach the Kodak case in the following fashion: • Foundation / history • Pre-Fisher Era • Fisher’s Era • Today

  7. Foundation / History • What was the company’s fundamental product philosophy? • Why has the company been so successful throughout the history of the film industry, up until the Digital Revolution? Source: Kodak and the Digital Revolution, HBS, Giovanni Gavetti Teaching Note

  8. Pre-Fisher Era • It’s 1981. Chandler’s team have just discovered that Sony is introducing Mavica, a filmless camera. • They are concerned and invite you to assess the future prospects of the film business. • How would you respond to the question: is film dead? • See exhibit 5 in the case. After the Sony announcement, Kodak invested $5B in digital imaging (approx 50% of budget). • Was this the right response? • What would the NPV model look like? • What proportion should be allocated to digital? • At the beginning of the foray to digital, Kodak began to lose market share to Fuji. Is Fuji stoppable? Source: Kodak and the Digital Revolution, HBS, Giovanni Gavetti Teaching Note

  9. Pre-Fisher Era • Imaging being part of Kodak’s management team during the dearly 1980s. Chandler asks you and a colleague to predict the evolution of film and digital imaging.

  11. Fisher Era • Kodak had developed excellent digital imaging technology, yet it introduced products only in peripheral areas of digital imaging (e.g. Photo CD). • How can we explain this disconnect between Kodak’s product market strategy and R&D output? • Why did a company with leading edge technology become fixated on Photo CD? • How did Kodak’s culture play a role here? • Cultural Exercise Source: Kodak and the Digital Revolution, HBS, Giovanni Gavetti Teaching Note
