Taustakatsaus

Lapsuudesta lähtien itämies on halunnut matkustaa.Kävi ilmi,että ei ollut rahaa ja aikaa,ja vihdoin hän saattoi mennä kaikkialle vuonna 1879.Poissa,25-vuotiaat suunnitelmatsaavuttivatlahjakaation. mies osti joukon valokuvauslaitteita hintaan 94 dollaria, mukaan lukien kamera ja videolaitteet, mukaan lukien kaikki kosteaan keliin tarvittavat laitteet, ja oppineet valokuvaustekniikat. Ennen pitkää hän kiehtoi valokuvaamisesta.

Yrityksen perustaminen

Tausta

Eastmanin keksintö alkoi herättää ihmisten huomion, ja hänen tutkimustaan ​​alkoi rahoittaa businessman Stone. yksi ensimmäisistä ostetuista laitteista oli 125 dollarin arvoinen moottori.

"Kaikki todella tarvitsevat hevosvoimaa", helater muistutti."Tämä on kaksi hevosvoimaa, mutta luulen, että liiketoiminnan kehittyessä tarvitaan kahta hevosvoimaa. Se kannattaa, joten ostin sen."

Yrityksen saavutukset

Vuonna 1885 ensimmäinen elokuvamainoslogan oli "Uusi valoherkän elokuvan tyyppi lanseerataan pian, jonka uskon olevan lasinkuivauslevy ulkona ja opiskelua varten. Taloudellinen,käytännöllinen vaihtoehto ja kätevä."

Vuonna 1886 Eastman kehitti rullatyyppisen valoherkän elokuvan, "EastmanFilm", joka esitti märän, ison ja hauraan valokuvafilmin käytön.

Uuden tuotteen synty

Jotta halusin antaa tälle uudelle tuotteelleyksinomaisen nimen, Eastman, joka on ajateltu pitkään, ja loi uuden sanan, jota ei ollut koskaan ennen nähty - "Kodak", hän selitti:"Tämä nimi on minun oma ideani,"K'on minun suosikkini. miekka alkoi kirjaimella "K" ja lopussa, tästä tuli ongelma. Useiden monogrammien kokeilujen jälkeen viimein ajateltiin "Kodak". .Itämaanmaailmankuulujayhtiön arvokkainYksi omaisuudesta.

Tänään yrityksen mainokset näkyvät kaikkialla maailmassa, ja "Kodak"-tavaramerkki, jonka on luonut herra Eastman itse lähes kotitalousnimenä.

Vuonna 1892 Eastman muutti yrityksensä nimeksi "EastmanKodak" -yritykseksi. Vuonna 1895 Koda toi markkinoille taskukameran hintaan 5 $, mikä teki sensaatiomaisen maailmanrakastamisen tavoitteeksi valokuvaustekniikan "suosion" todellisuudessa.

Vuonna 1919 herra East lahjoitti työntekijöilleen kolmanneksen yrityksen osakkeista (markkina-arvo silloin 10 miljoonaa Yhdysvaltain dollaria).
