16、一直围绕着罗切斯特，柯达依然在这个依赖大公司生存的小城占据统治地位，如果不能尽快出售它持有的知识产权资产，那么这家百年企业将会破产。4.但是柯达到目前为止都没有作出适当的调整，而富士胶片却已经成功转型为一家稳定赢利的公司。富士胶片的市值即使在经历了惨淡的一年后，也有约126亿美元，柯达仅为2.2亿美元。5.它制定了一项三管齐下策略：在传统的胶片业务领域尽可能挤压利润，准备向数码业务转型，开发全新业务领域。6.这一弱点在1984年洛杉矶奥运会赞助权争夺战中得到体现，正当柯达举棋不定时，富士胶片却已将赞助权收入囊中。7.哈佛商学院的Rosabeth Moss Kanter 曾为柯达提供咨询服务，她

17、说：“柯达高管只对完美的产品感兴趣，缺乏现代高科技企业应有的制造-发布-改进思维。”8.尽管富士胶片的慷慨赔偿缓和了这次突击行动的冲击，但在日本公司当中，这样的举动依旧不具有代表性。9.尽管如此，大前研一认为在日本存在一种长期的公司文化，公司股东不会对公司短期表现施加很大压力，也能容忍公司持有大量现金，这使富士胶片可以更容易按古森重隆的设想进行改革。10.柯达所犯的错误和美国历史上另一个失败者-制造计算机的数字设备公司并不一样，后者是因为没能认识到个人计算机业务发展的重要性而失败，那时它的管理层还躺在舒适的椅子里打着盹呢。Christensen认为：“柯达的失败更像是眼见一场海啸的来临却发现自己对此无能为力。”
