Kodaks strategy:
Competition strategy:
differentiation: based on the strong brand and high quality.
however, intense competition from cost-efficient rivals (Fuji sets its price
about 10% below Kodaks and private labels are 30% cheaper than Kodak)

there is evidence suggesting that this effort to achieve simultaneously a
differentiation low cost position did not work well, and the company was
stuck in the middle.
critics from FT and Fortune described the company as expensive and
inefficient.
