    Nokia, the large Finnish industrial group, was founded in 1966 through a merger of three companies. The main business units at that time were pulp and paper, tyres and cables, with paper manufacturing as the oldest business, established 130 years ago. During the 1970s Nokia started to diversify through expansion in different electronic product areas. In 1995, after twenty years of acquisitions, divestments, internationalisation and rapid growth, 99 per cent of the turnover (FIM36,810 million)1 was represented by three business units in electronics: mobile phones, telecommunications and consumer electronics. The three original businesses had been divested and 91 per cent of the turnover was derived from exports. Nokia had become one of the leading global producers of mobile phones and telecommunication systems, and the third biggest in Europe in consumer electronics, with 34,000 employees, 14,000 of them working outside Finland in 45 different countries. The Nokia case is a remarkable corporate transformation, achieved through focusing the company’s strategic activities in the consumer electronics industry, where Nokia attained its…

    Nokia is still the most influential company to the Finnish national economy, but Nokia’s effect is far from what it was in the early years of the 21st century when Nokia accounted for almost half of the economic growth in Finland and produced as much as five percent of Finland’s annual Gross Domestic Product. In 2006, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo replaced Jorma Ollila as the CEO, but was not able to reverse the decline of Nokia’s market share especially in the high end segment, where competitors like Apple, Blackberry,HTC, Samsung, and phones using Google’s Android operating system captured market share from Nokia at an alarmingly increasing rate. At the end of year 2010 Android was already the most widespread smart phone operating system in the world and Nokia’s…

    However, it can be said that the company still needs to consider other strategies to remain competitive in the market because of the cut-throat competition in mobile communication. This can be evidenced by their shares to dramatically down by 20% due to the penetration of their competitor. Nokia must be able to have an intensive marketing plan to ensure success and apparently, their experience to eat the humble pie won’t happen again. With the emergence of Apple Iphones today, the strategy of Nokia relies on growing, transforming, and building the Nokia business to ensure its future success.…

    Between 1995 and 1999, sales for Nokia tripled while profits nearly did the same. In 1998 they sold over 40 million phones, making Nokia the number one mobile phone company in the world. Nokia was successful due to its ability to have large scale production, within its own factories, allowing them to achieve economies of scale and high profit margins. However, in 2000, the market matured and the other major players in the industry (Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Siemens AG, Samsung) have been gaining market share ever since. Due to increased pressures from consumers for each manufacturer to offer the latest in technology and features, an industry trend of outsourcing to low cost manufacturer’s and Nokia’s reluctance to embrace a ‘Clamshell’ style phone, Nokia has gone from 35% market share in 2001 to just 28.9% in 2004 (Appendix 1).…
