Jim Salmon is undoubtedly right that cultural problems played a role in Crosfield Electronics' demise, but the real issue was the disruption of desktop technology. Crosfield and its competitors Dr Hell, Scitex and Screen were selling high cost, high margin capital equipment into a pre-press market that was rapidly moving to cheaper solutions and was itself under threat from the 'democratisation of technology'. Kudos to Andy Cook and his team for managing the transition to today's digital world, but their business is a lot smaller than Crosfield in its heyday.
