The Role of People in a Post-Digital Society: Embracing collaboration, openness, and stakeholder capitalism

One company used to dominate the world of pre-digital photography, leading the pack with innovative technology and groundbreaking patents. But despite their early success and industry-leading innovations, they were ultimately overtaken by competitors who saw the full potential of the digital camera market.
