Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about Kodak's approach to outsourcing IS activities in 1989, and specifically mentions that Kodak worked with suppliers like IBM, DEC, and Businessland. This indicates that Kodak chose a multivendor approach, in which they worked with multiple vendors for their outsourcing needs, rather than a centralized or full outsourcing approach where they would work with only one vendor. The question does not provide any information indicating that Kodak chose an offshore or nearshore approach, so those options can be eliminated.
