【天才の生存戦略】なぜ「写ルンです」は絶滅しなかったのか？不便を売るビジネスと、富士フイルムが仕掛けた悪魔的復活劇 / Fujifilm's Survival Strategy

"In this digital age, why bother using a film camera?" In a hyper-efficient society where everything can be done with a smartphone, the "Fujifilm QuickSnap" disposable camera is selling explosively, especially among Generation Z. The risk of failure, the hassle of developing, the limited number of shots—these seemingly disadvantageous "inconveniences" were precisely what modern people were seeking: a "premium experience." Meanwhile, Fujifilm, as a company, once faced a crisis of "the disappearance of its core business" due to a drastic decline in film demand. While Kodak went bankrupt under similar circumstances, Fujifilm made a remarkable comeback. What separated their fates was a bold redefinition of their identity: "We are not just a photography company." Applying the science of film to "anti-aging" and "nanotechnology." The technology to protect the beauty of photographs was exactly the same as the technology to protect the beauty of skin. Behind this ingenious pivot (business transformation) was the decision of leaders who thoroughly explored their company's strengths without relying on external trends. "The answer lies within ourselves." Efficiency alone cannot move people's hearts. Enjoying deliberately inefficient processes and selling "emotional experiences" rather than just products—this is the strongest survival strategy for winning in uncertain times.
