The problem in this case is Kodak's steadily eroding market share and shareholder value in the film rolls market. This is especially undesirable given the fact that the market has been growing at a tepid 2% annual rate and the steadily increasing threat from competition. Kodak needs to come up with a strategy for corrective action so as to arrest this decline, regain market share and increase share holder value. Kodak's strategy is to reposition itself by targeting a new segment of price sensitive customers and re-segmenting the super premium customers’ space by including a wider segment of special occasion customers.

Threat from Buyers Consumers hold much power today due to the economy but I forecast no negative issues in this category. A large majority of Company G’s buyers are repeat customers who place great value on our products, our service, and our reputation. As long as Company G continues to produce quality products with features that appeal to current customers as well as potential customers we will succeed in the small appliance market as we have done with our other electronics.

The ability of the systems to communicate between departments and support the manufacturing demands of the company is a huge advantage for the entire company. The new system would increase strategic processes for the different departments from planning to manufacturing to distribution to accounting by using the resources more efficiently. NIBCO would be able to identify discrepancies within their planning, purchasing, or manufacturing stages immediately. By decreasing redundant processes the firm is able eliminate waste in order to increase their profit. Another advantage for NIBCO was in establishing a timeframe in their strategic plan with a ‘go live’ date for the implementation of the IS system which meant that the company would be able to resume normal operations. A typical timeframe of installing a new IS system in a company typically occurs within a three to five year plan and NIBCO planned on having the software installed and operating within twenty-four months to limit the interruption for the

I have been a Giclee Printer for 2 years in an art store called Village Art Supply up in Northern California. As a Giclee Printer, I specialize in professionally photoimaging people's artworks and then bringing it in to Photoshop to fine tune the shots so that they match up with the original artwork's colors, values and texture. Once I feel that the file matches with the artwork, I print a proof print of the file for the client to compare to the original artwork. The client then gives us the approval as to whether to proceed ahead with their desired giclee print or if I should make any more desired changes to the file before printing. This position required me to be familiar with values and color since I needed

Koala Tech, Ltd., produces office equipment for small businesses and home offices. Some months ago they started selling PFS 1000’s, which are a multi-function color printer, color scanner, color copier, and fax machine all in one. The PFS 1000’s originally received praise on its functionality, price, and innovative design. These accolades combined with Koala Tech’s reputation quickly led to a high demand for PFS 1000’s, which also created a backlog (Meredith & Shafer, 2013). Nevertheless, Koala Tech’s plant has been unable to meet this demand. So, Koala Tech’s president, Nancy Samuelson, is concerned about the backlog and has applied pressure on the plant manager to increase production. Conversely, the president has suddenly shifted gears since

Kodak is making history. In 2010, we made real progress toward becoming a profitable, sustainable digital company. We enjoyed a record level of digital earnings from operations and produced promising results from the four engines of our digital growth strategy – Consumer Inkjet, Commercial Inkjet, Packaging, and Workflow Software & Services. As a group, revenue from these product lines increased 18% last year. Our strategy is working. We are using our competitive advantage at the intersection of digital imaging and materials science to pursue large markets in need of transformation, such as commercial printing.

The Riordan Industries corporate office has been performing a research project to consolidate their financial processes and production software packages. Not one of the three offices or corporate use the same system, which makes data collection, verification, and reporting difficult at best. They need to have a uniform business system throughout all the facilities, as well as procedures implemented in order to attain this goal of seamless data collection they are hoping to achieve. The customer will need to upgrade all their hardware in addition to their current software packages.

Kodak currently has no position within the ink market. The ink business is a $45 billion a year sector that could regenerate Kodak’s position in the printing sector. The market for ink is dominated by HP, followed by Epson, Canon, and Lexmark. Entering a complete new market may be beneficial in its current position. According to Kodak, the greatest obstacle to printing at home is the cost of ink and supplies. Kodak can develop a cost efficient solution that will be more appealing to consumers. With the launch of this product, Kodak must focus on several sectors of business: marketing, pricing, distribution, and production. Onesource (2011).

Additional advantage with this option we see is that, as SteenBurg laid down the facts, this option provides a real synergy for the company, integrating several pieces into a significant system and allowing the company to gain more rather than operating them separately. Importantly, unlike other very successful products of Xerox, Book-In-Time solutions fits on a specific niche, operating most efficiently only for run lengths 1,000 or less. But, based on Table-D details, short-run digital printer happens to be economical beyond run lengths of 350 or more assuming that reductions in cost are uniformly distributed between run lengths of 100 and 500 (See Appendix – III for sweet point for run lengths).
