柯達世代

????柯達公司（Kodak）正設法到2013年擺脫破產保護的陰影,，為此它將繼續(xù)減輕負擔,，希望就此削減成本，只保留最具盈利能力的資產,。9月份,，公司宣布了一項裁減1,000個工作崗位的計劃，這是公司重組舉措的一部分,。此舉使今年的裁員人數(shù)達到了3,700人,。同月的晚些時候，柯達又宣布,，將出售噴墨打印機銷售業(yè)務（但目前仍將保留墨水銷售業(yè)務）,。

????有些人已經提前猜到了柯達的這些決策。周一上午,，評論家無疑會對柯達大加撻伐,，但無可否認的是，柯達公司在20世紀一些最為重大的技術和科學創(chuàng)新中占有舉足輕重的地位,。只需要看看它直接或間接培育的眾多成功企業(yè)就能明白這一點,。以下就是柯達多年來一路走來所繁衍哺育的眾多企業(yè),。

Kodachrome generation

????As Kodak (EKDKQ, Fortune 500) sets course to emerge from bankruptcy protection in 2013, it will continue to lighten its load, hoping to cut costs and whittle itself down to its most profitable assets. In September, the company announced plans to cut 1,000 jobs as part of its restructuring, bringing the tally for the year up to 3,700. Later that same month, Kodak announced that it would get out of the inkjet printer sales business (though it'll stick with ink sales for now).

????Some have second-guessed Kodak's decisions. Critics will no doubt play Monday-morning quarterback, but you can't deny the tremendous role Kodak has played in some of the greatest technological and scientific innovations of the 20th century. Just look at the many successful businesses it has directly or indirectly spawned. Here's a look at a handful of what Kodak has passed along over the years.
