If your employee came to you in 1975 and told you he’d invented the digital camera, what would you do? If you were Kodak, the answer was to effectively shove him in a closet and hope the product never reached the mass market. Title: Re: The story of the Digital Camera and Kodak wasn't interested!

I thank Kodak for my 30 years with them. Really wish it could have lasted longer. :( Title: Re: The story of the Digital Camera and Kodak wasn't interested!

The company really bombed due to poor management I imagine. :rolleyes:
