Fujifilm, Innovation, Kodak, Photography

Innovation in business has been recognized in the literature as one of the most vital factors for survival. Research suggests that innovation can be of different types including breakthrough innovation, basic research, sustaining innovation and disruptive innovation. As the name suggests, the latter proves to be the most challenging for incumbents while providing an opportunity for newcomers. The photography industry is wide and constitutes many different companies with the most influential role being recognized as that by Kodak. Having established themselves in the film camera market over many years, nobody had expected the incumbent's downfall. While many reasons led to this, the biggest points at the company’s inability to correctly and timely react to the disruptive innovation required in the face of the digital revolution. However, whilst they failed to take corrective measures, their close competitor Fujifilm was able to navigate the field and rise to the top. This paper aims to shed light on both the companies while using business theory to analyse why Fujifilm thrived in the face of innovation while Kodak failed to survive.
