盘点：柯达留下的企业后代

柯达世代

    柯达公司（Kodak）正设法到2013年摆脱破产保护的阴影，为此它将继续减轻负担，希望就此削减成本，只保留最具盈利能力的资产。9月份，公司宣布了一项裁减1,000个工作岗位的计划，这是公司重组举措的一部分。此举使今年的裁员人数达到了3,700人。同月的晚些时候，柯达又宣布，将出售喷墨打印机销售业务（但目前仍将保留墨水销售业务）。

    有些人已经提前猜到了柯达的这些决策。周一上午，评论家无疑会对柯达大加挞伐，但无可否认的是，柯达公司在20世纪一些最为重大的技术和科学创新中占有举足轻重的地位。只需要看看它直接或间接培育的众多成功企业就能明白这一点。以下就是柯达多年来一路走来所繁衍哺育的众多企业。

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.
