Ilford, founded in 1879, was once a dominant film manufacturer but faced insolvency in 2004 as digital photography rapidly replaced film. While Ilford's core film business declined at 10-20% annually in the early 2000s, its Swiss branch invested in inkjet printing paper and nanotechnology, developing a large and growing market to survive. The Swiss branch was sold but still uses the Ilford brand, while the restructured British arm now focuses on niche black and white film.
In the past, when all we had was film photography, we had to be very selective of the kind of pictures we wanted to take. I’m sure there wouldn't be half as many ‘selfies’ ‘photo bombs’ or ‘duck pouts’ as there are today. Images have a strong emotional factor, and emotions have a powerful pull on us as human beings.
Back in the 19th century, Kodak disrupted photography. About 100 years later, the company became lost ground due to the same forces when digital imaging started to prosper.

Below is the case.
Kodak (A)
In February 2003, Daniel A. Carp, Kodak’s chief executive officer and chairman, was reviewing 2002 data with the company’s senior executives: film sales had dropped 5% from the already weak previous year and revenues were down 3%, sliding to $12.8 billion. The film industry was “under pressure unlike ever before”, and Carp predicted a “fairly long downturn”1 for traditional photography sales as more and more consumers were turning to digital cameras, which did not require film. The company had been investing heavily in digital imaging since the early 1980s, pioneering image-sensor technology in 1986 and entering the market with a variety of products during the 1990s.
In addition, Kodak was moving more of its manufacturing to China, where it could still boast film sales, and was planning to slash 2,200 jobs, or 3% of its work force, especially in the photo-finishing business. The picture for 2003 was not any brighter: Carp expected revenues to grow slightly to $13 billion and net income to be flat or down from the $770 million the company had earned in 2002.
A native of Wytheville, Virginia, Carp had graduated in management from MIT, and had begun his career at Kodak in 1970 as a statistical analyst. Since then he had held a variety of positions, including general manager of sales for Kodak Canada, general manager of the consumer electronics division, general manager of the European, African, and Middle Eastern regions in 1991, and president and chief operating officer in 1997. Carp was finally appointed CEO on January 1, 2000. After more than 30 years at the company, he realized this struggle was one of the toughest in the company’s century-long history. How could he use digital imaging to revitalize Kodak?

Disruptive innovation, smartphones and the decline of NokiaChris Sandström
Apple’s IPhone was first revealed in January 2007. Out of curiosity I pondered through Nokia’s quarterly presentation slides in the years 2007-2010 in order to get a better idea about how they related to the ongoing shift from feature phones to smartphones. While such a brief and shallow review will not give the full picture of Nokia’s response, it might still reveal something.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Personal Brand Statement:
As an Army veteran dedicated to lifelong learning, I bring a disciplined, strategic mindset to my pursuits. I am constantly expanding my knowledge to innovate and lead effectively. My journey is driven by a commitment to excellence, and to make a meaningful impact in the world.
2. Christian Sandström holds a PhD from Chalmers
University of Technology, Sweden. He writes and speaks
about disruptive innovation and technological change.
17. In the 20th century, the
company emerged as one of
the dominant film
manufacturers with a
particularly strong position in
black and white photography.
18.
19.
20. A square
image in
black and
white – this
photo is
most likely
taken with
a
Hasselblad,
using Ilford
film.
41. But the company flagship was
always the niche product
black and white film.
42.
43.
44.
45. Since film was a consumable
good, there was always demand
for it back in the analogue era.
46.
47.
48.
49. Though the firm met some
competition with the rise of the
Japanese companies in 1950-1970, it
still remained healthy and profitable.
50.
51. With the rise of digital imaging in
the 1990s, the photo community
started to discuss whether and to
what extent film would be replaced
by digital cameras.
52. "I use both, but I can put my
heart into film. I don't think we'll
ever see it totally disappear.“
// Hideki Fujii, director of the
Nippon Photography Institute, a
Tokyo-based photo school
53. "The fact is, people prefer film.“
"The look and feel of it puts it
on a different level to digital
output.“
// Steven Brierley, sales director
at Ilford Photo of Britain, 2006
54. Though it was far from obvious that
film would die, Ilford still decided to
stop putting R&D into it.
55. In the mid 1990s, the Swiss branch
of Ilford in Marly started to explore
the area of inkjet paper and
nanotechnology.
56. The Swiss branch had been in
the colour segment of film and
had always been more
technologically advanced.
58. Doing so was a bit risky, since no
one really knew whether this would
create any revenues at all.
59. For about five years, these
investments did not contribute at all
to the business of Ilford.
60. The Swiss group started
off by focusing on
colour film but
continuously moved
away from this and
towards papers for
digital prints.
61. In this period, they went
from basic research into
full production of inkjet
paper which enabled film
quality. It turned out to be a
huge and growing market.
62. At the same time, the core
film business started to
decline rapidly.
63. The explosion

Number of film and digital cameras sold in the
United States (guess which one is digital!)
64.
65.
66.
67. In 2000-2004,
the film
business
decreased at
about 10-20
percent
annually.
68. Given that
there are a lot
of fixed costs
related to
production,
this implied
huge losses
for Ilford.
69.
70. While the Swiss branch kept growing, the old,
traditional Ilford faced extinction and
several layoffs took place in these years.
71.
72.
73.
74. Profits kept rising in the
digital inkjet printing while
the old business collapsed.
75. In the first seven months of
2004, film sales declined with
a mortal 26 percent. Up to
this point, more than 50
percent of the UK employees
had been fired and the
company had accumulated a
debt of £40 million.
76.
77.
78. In mid 2004 the company
became insolvent and was
restructured through a
management buy-out.
79.
80. The new ‘old’ Ilford kept producing
black and white film and even re-
introduced some old products.
81. The company is now owned by what
is called Harman Technologies Ltd
(Harman was the founder of Ilford)
and is traded under Ilford Photo.
82.
83. They’ve found a niche where film
can survive on a small scale.
84. The expanding Swiss branch was sold
to Oji, a Japanese paper company and
has kept growing ever since.
85.
86. They still use the llford brand and sell
some colour film as well.
87.
88. “Oji’s corporate strategy is to build
global networks for existing products
and to develop new product capabilities
to meet the demands of the changing
marketplace. The acquisition of ILFORD
in July 2005, meets this overall strategy.”
// From the webpage
89. Summing up: the old Ilford survived in a
different shape after a lot of downsizing
and a few ownership changes. The
Swiss business prospers today after
having developed inkjet printing paper.
90. A lot of
shareholder value
must have been
created from the
strategy to go for
inkjet paper and
nanotechnology
back in the mid
1990s.
91. The manager in charge of the Swiss and
British sites had to decide whether to
spread resources thinly or put them all
in one uncertain basket.
92. He was brave enough to go for
one basket, and this turned out to
be crucial for the company.
93. In a fast-moving industry which is
heading for a digital revolution,
hedging and playing low-risk
does not seem to be an option.
