Author Biography

Paul Snyder grew up and worked in Rochester, NY, Kodak's home. He started taking photos at any early age, and was a shareholder of Eastman Kodak. As Kodak's troubles mounted, and it laid off almost 55,000 local workers, he saw its stock decline from almost $90 a share to $.20. The Second and Revised Edition contains Snyder's analysis of Kodak's seven fundamental mistakes, and a list of what Kodak should have done differently.
