That company was terribly mismanaged. They invented the digital camera then failed to capitalize on it because it would cannibalize their film business...they didn't want to accept the fact that digital was the wave of the future and if they didn't ride that wave someone else would...

Western Electric Company… Founded 1872… Defunct 1995…
RCA… Founded 1919… Defunct 1986….

The companies that evolved into digital technologies are still doing well…
Ampex… Founded 1944….Still doing well…
3m Founded 1902…Still doing well…
Deluxe Founded 1915…Still doing well…
Technicolor…1916… Still doing well…
