How did Kodak's dominant market position in the film industry impact its transition into the digital age?

Kodak's dominant market position in the film industry significantly impacted its transition into the digital age. As the pioneer of film photography, Kodak was deeply entrenched in the film industry, which made it difficult for the company to adapt to the emerging digital technology. This resistance to change, coupled with the rapid pace of digital technology advancement, led to Kodak becoming a late adopter of digital technology. This delay in transition ultimately led to the company's bankruptcy in 2012.

So what's been going on since then?
