As to the real reason for Kodak's demise, they waited too long to go digital, and they screwed it up when they did go mainstream digital.

Yes. It was a **management** mistake based on decisions made by stock-price obsessed MBA-type leaders who were absolutely, completely disconnected from their users.

Kodak had a 'cult' favorite in the Polaroid. They discontinued it, citing the 'digital revolution', right exactly at the time when people were backlashing against digital photos and **wanted** and old-school, nostalgic analog product like the Polaroid.

Everything about Kodak's decisions was exactly backwards and wrong, and it was **MANAGEMENT** who is to blame, not some dumb notion of the internet this guy is pimping.

Article author is an idiot.

Polaroid was made by Polaroid -- not Kodak. In fact Polaroid sued Kodak for patent violation (and won)
