Althoug

29、h many owe Kodaks downfall to its “complacency(自满),” that explanation doesnt recognize the efforts the company made to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak foresaw that digital photography would overtake film and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 but in a significant decision,

30、the company chose to focus on its traditional film business instead of its new discovery. It wasnt that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to work out a strategy to deal with it. By the time the company realized it

31、s mistake, it was too late. Although Kodak foresaw the coming rise of digital photography, its corporate culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully hug the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. No

32、w their history has become a liability. Kodaks downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company made up 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which competed agai

33、nst Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodaks decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a deadly miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which took advantage of its sponsorship to win a permanent place in the market. 28. Wha

37、ll puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa? Talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about? Betty shrugs. Tal

38、k? We're friends. Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in

39、 the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable." More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, an

40、d almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). "Most women," says Rubin, "identified at least one, usually more trusted friends to whom they

41、 could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives." "In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are marked by

42、 shared activities." For the most part, Rubin says, interactions between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior." "Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost

43、feelings. Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."32. Rub
