Was it a case of "complacent monopolist," or more accurately >> "complacent leadership"? I seem to recall there were plenty of Kodak engineers on record who saw the unmistakable early warning signs of the tightening ring of competition, but whose constructive criticism and forward-thinking suggestions - and alarms to roust the comfortably numb, penthouse suite brass - were all but ignored.
Then it was just one critical misstep after another, even while holding a series of otherwise winning hands. Being caught largely flat footed while the digital revolution blossomed around them certainly didn't help matters.
Nice shot btw.
