Claims / C-XBYTJ6A73J
Conjecture
Kodak in digital is not counter-positioning; digital offered Kodak no Power alone, so collateral damage did not decide it
The claim
Kodak's failure in digital was not counter-positioning: Kodak knew film was doomed and spent heavily exploring digital, but digital imaging was a commoditising semiconductor business in which Kodak had no prospect of Power, so its non-response reflected an opportunity unattractive on its own, not collateral damage to film.
Evidence 1 passage
groundsSource document
Kodak's failure to respond had nothing to do with collateral damage within their film business.
