But after the Kodak filed the bankruptcy, all those Kodak moments were left in the memories of the people. This article discusses about some of the reasons why the company failed to survive in the competitive market.
Kodak never realized how the world around them was changing. They always thought that people or their consumers would always stick with hard print and film-based photos in their entire life. They never took seriously that digital photography would replace them. Even though digital cameras provide higher quality pictures, company never took that as a serious threat from the business point of view.
