“”Perhaps the biggest indictment of the more paternalistic approach taken by an earlier generation of corporate behemoths is that Kodak is a shell of its former self. After a bankruptcy and many years of layoffs, the company has only 2,700 employees in the United States and 6,100 worldwide.””
Maybe Kodak was too generous or maybe Kodak made mistakes in promoting women or maybe Kodak thought they were too big to fail or maybe Kodak ignored the new technology that made film obsolete.
All in all Kodak management made major mistakes so comparing how a female janitor prospered at Kodak is not a good example for others to follow.
I do know that Kodak was late in the digital game and that their digital cameras are some of the worst. That might explain why they collapsed. Nikon didn’t. Canon didn’t.
