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.

This was a major death blow to Kodak. Along with many others. I thank Kodak for my 30 years with them. Really wish it could have lasted longer.  Sad

This was so interesting.Also read some articles about the gentleman. It does surprise me that he didn't ditch Kodak but guess he has made out okay. The company really bombed due to poor management I imagine. Roll Eyes
