Speaking of Kodak....my former employer, it is clear that Antonio Perez’ job as CEO is as “closer”. Sell of the balance of the assets, mitigate the liabilities and turn out the lights.
Kodak blew it when they came out with one of the first consumer digital cameras in conjunction with Apple, the QuickTake 100. Kodak concluded that consumer digital photography was never going to amount to much and decided to shelve the whole idea after a short time. Kodak consumer digicams after that were just placeholders for many years - and when they belatedly realized that their film business and film cameras were dying dinosaurs (10 years after everyone else figured consumer film was dead), they managed to completely muff implementation and could never catch back up with the likes of Canon, Olympus or Nikon in the digital arena.
