Kodak put all the building block correctly, and just as Teece projected Kodak was very successful and made huge profits from capitalizing it IP- grossing 16 B$ revenues in 1996 and 2.5 in profits. Kodak’s management lodged in one company town, cherishing a slow adaptive, “perfect products” and complacent corporate culture (due to its dominant position).

In the beginning of the 1970’s, few people had no idea what their computer technology would lead to and only a few people probably had the vision that they would have been made into what they are now. Before Computers had any sort of Microsoft software, computers were somewhat hard and too complex for people to use.
