  6. From 35MM to Digital Cameras Digital with FLASH CARD 35MM with FILM

  7. 35MM Digital Paradigm

  8. Key Players, Value Chain • Players: • Kodak, Canon, Minolta, Fuji, Agfa-Gevaert, Sony, Zeiss Ikon, Polaroid (bankrupt in 2002), Casio • Value Chain: • (1) Housing, (2)Shutter mechanism, (3) Optics, (4) Flash and Power source, (5) Development, (6) Printing, (7) Wholesale and (8) Retail

  9. Evolution in this “ecology” • !: 80-85….2: 86-90….3: 91-95….. 4: 96-03 • Photography Group • Adjacent Groups (Computer HW and SW) • Development Infrastructure

  10. Evolution of Photography 86-90 91-95 96-2003 80-85 Polaroid Bankrupt Price-adjusted Quality full Match Digital sales Exceeds Conventional Sales PC Revolution Internet and Email limited to Universities Photo CD with CD Player 1. Complementary technologies And 2. Firms with NE Strategies, hugging Aging Paradigms 35MM Cameras And Early DI (Sony MAVICA No Substitution Paradigm and its Trajectory Very “Obvious” ‘Counter’ Innovations APS Convergence In Full Swing

  15. Cameras • Old versus New Paradigm • “Razor Blade” • Polaroid Dead and Kodak out of the Dow (DJIA) • Movie Theaters and Hollywood next? • Film, Paper and Album replaced by Digital • …..and WWW and Email • What is Next ?

  16. Kodak Options • Majority of Kodak’s revenues come from sales of films not 35MM cameras, and digital cameras do not use any film. How difficult for Kodak to give up its cash cow product. • The economics of traditional photography are much more attractive for 35MM producers than those of digital. A constraint on Kodak? • Finally, given that Kodak supports a vast organization on the basis of film sales, and that digital won’t yield profits for some time to come, how will this 35MM competency will be supported in lieu of film sales.

  17. Patents, Strategic Alliances, Joint Ventures…..

  18. Kodak’s Response to Digital Disruption • Approached digital photography as a threat to its core business • Saw cannibalization of existing film-based business • Focused on current consumer behavior vs. emergent technologies (Paradigm Hugging) • Focused on traditional film competitors (e.g. Fuji)

  19. Kodak’s Response to Digital Disruption Before December 2001: • Kodak’s organization was organized by end-user market • The work of digital champions had to be divided among the various segments rather than as a unified strategy • Besides having the difficulty of charging one group with the responsibility to develop Kodak’s digital strategy, simple funding for R&D efforts would be divided among the existing segments • Given this structure, digital imaging was a threat to the established paradigm and its “owners”

  20. Kodak’s Prospects • Kodak is not the leader it once was; its core competencies in paper and film have become core rigidities • The photography market is likely to be much more fragmented • As we will see on June 13, we need a dedicated integrated business unit for new paradigm to overcome core rigidities

  21. From Industry Inertia to Firm Inertia • How do firms become trapped in their learning curve • Core competencies and core rigidities

  22. So far… lessons: 1. Death of “Dominant Design” • Firm versus its environment • Innovations • Inertia and Paradigm Huggers 2. Unlocking the Firm or Industry from “Old” Paradigm Photography Industry

  23. Strategy and Innovation • Part I, Day 2 • Kodak, Polaroid • Industry, Sector Evolution and Inertia • Part II, Day 2 • Core Rigidities and Competencies • Firm Inertia • Gunfire at Sea • Part III, Day 2 • Ab und Aufbauen or Reinventing the Firm’s strategy

  24. Overcoming Inertia • Gunfire at sea: firm-specific obstacles for shedding the old S curve • Steps towards a new paradigm

  25. Established firms and Innovation • Firms are locked into a dominant design • Its departments, career paths, customer base and suppliers share in the dominant design that has become the standard • Dilemma of being entrapped by tangible and intangible, mindsets and values, whose platform you need to move on.

  26. Core Competencies • Knowledge • human capital • social capital • technical systems • Managerial systems • knowledge creation and recycling • Culture (norms and values)

  27. Core Rigidities (as distinct from core competencies) • Competency Traps • NE Strategy • Disruptive Technology • Forgetting Difficulties • Old skills get in the way (Cobol vs C++) • Learning Mandarin while you speak already Cantonese • Competencies to create New Competencies • Dynamic capabilities

  28. Strategy and Innovation • Part I, Day 2 • Kodak, Polaroid • Industry, Sector Evolution and Inertia • Part II, Day 2 • Core Rigidities and Competencies • Firm Inertia • Gunfire at Sea • Part III, Day 2 • Ab und Aufbauen or Reinventing the Firm’s strategy

  29. U.S Navy and Continuous Firing

  30. Gunfire at Sea • What is meant by “They are holding the horses”? Why gunnery as case study? • What is that gunnery innovation? • What was Sims’ motivation? How did this motivation differ from Scott’s • Why did the Navy resist Sims’ efforts? Identify some core rigidities. • What remedies?

  31. Old Paradigm Close proximity Poor hit rate Risk of black eye New Paradigm Telescope mounted on sleeve such that it could move Gear ratio 3000% Improvement What is here the Innovation

  32. Gunfire at Sea:take-away • Innovation not due to R&D but creative use of existing technology • Continuous aim gunfire due to a chance event and a driven person who was maverick, prepared to break rules • Tyranny of past success entraps the organization (core rigidities) • Resistance to change is “society”-wide • Role of leadership in unlocking system

  33. Strategy and Innovation • Part I, Day 2 • Kodak, Polaroid • Industry, Sector Evolution and Inertia • Part II, Day 2 • Core Rigidities and Competencies • Firm Inertia • Gunfire at Sea • Part III, Day 2 • Ab und Aufbauen or Reinventing the Firm’s strategy

  34. Basic “Templates of Organization Design • Templates, Structure, Governance, Form • Functional and Divisional

  35. Two Templates Business Function

  36. Functional (F-form) is attractive: ease of supervision maximum specialization in occupational skills But, has drawbacks: conflict prone free ridership performance responsibility difficult to define do not produce general manager Divisional (M-form) is attractive: simplifies coordination creates client responsiveness accountability of performance do-ers decide But has also drawbacks: duplication of effort creates superficial skills competition between business units Organization Structure Note Newer Types such as Matrix, Corrupted Divisional and Network

  37. Functional Divisional CEO CEO NewCars Service UsedCars Sales Service Finance “Corrupted” Divisional Matrix CEO CEO Service Sales Service Finance NewCars Trucks UsedCars NewCars UsedCars Network or Spaghetti Trucks CEO

  38. Cohesion: dyad communication with the primary group and its “closest confidants”, attraction social proximity due to physical proximity inducing similarity Sherif, Schachter, Festinger: reduction of ambiguity; Lazarsfeld :voting Structural Equivalence: social system competition and relative deprivation within a status-set with the “nearest rival” compare a “menage a trois,” the “laughing third” physical proximity providing alters for whose evaluation affection etc. ego competes similarity due to effort to eliminate relative deprivation Burt: adoption to avoid embarrassment, to acquire legitimacy: Network “Theory”: two schools of thought

  39. Three Forms of Capitalan MGI Post-script • Financial Capital ($$$$) • Human Capital (skills, training, experience, looks) • Social Capital (networks, channels, alliances) • all three contribute to performance and innovation

  40. 3 1 2 4 5 7 6 9 8 10 11 A Communications Network

  41. Why Worry about Networks? • Access to know-how, contacts, resources • Unique combinations of network benefits yield opportunity • Network ideas operate within and across organizations • Expand size of radar screen and make you detect technological discontinuities, emergent markets, new designs.

  42. Internal Circulation of Knowledge • Job Rotation • Boundary-Spanning Roles • Information Technology(email, intranet) • Social Networks

  43. External Circulation of Knowledge • Strategic alliances • Equity JVs, licensing, minority participation, R&D partnerships, etc. • Consortia

  44. You You You Network A’ Network B’ Network C’ Strategic Network Expansion

  45. A The Social Structure of Competition Redundant contact Non-redundant contact D Structural Holes Filled by “You” YOU B C Structural Holes

  46. Spider and its Net

  47. Osama Bin Laden and his network?

  48. Network of Countries linked by Footballers Movements

  49. Complete Network
