Wireless Phone Manufacturers

Firms in this industry largely make mobile phones and equipment used in radio and television broadcasting and in satellite communications. The Major companies include Apple, Motorola Mobility Holdings, and QUALCOMM based in the US; Foxconn and HTC, both based in Taiwan, and Ericsson based in Sweden (Mergent, 2014). Globally, wireless phone and data service subscriptions total more than 6.8 billion (Mergent, 2014). Concentration of supply chain globally for wireless handsets is concentrated in Asia, with U.S. production limited. Intensified domestic and international competition has bring about the outsourcing of production, industry consolidation, firm specialization, and decreasing employment (Rogowsky & Laney-Cummings, 2010).

    Analyse the Effectiveness of Communications Between Different Firms and the Consumer in the Mobile Devices Industry

    Today, I will only focus on analysing effectiveness of communications in the mobile phones industry. The technology of communication has been developing significantly, ever since Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and the first hand-held mobile phone was subsequently invented by Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973 [1]. Now mobile phones become increasingly necessary. I may say nearly everyone has cell phones up to now, which push the mobile phones market changing rapidly.…

    Who Captures Value in Global Supply Chains? Case Nokia N95 Smartphone

    Abstract Available statistics reveal little about the economic consequences of the increasing global dispersion of production processes. To investigate the issue, we perform grass-roots investigative work to uncover the geography of the value added for a Nokia N95 smartphone circa 2007. The phone was assembled in Finland and China. When the device was assembled and sold in Europe, the value-added share of Europe (EU-27) rose to 68%. Even when it was assembled in China and sold in the United States, Europe captured as much as 51% of the value added, despite of the fact that it played little role in supplying the physical components. Our analysis illustrates that international trade statistics can be misleading; the capture of value added is largely detached from the flow of physical goods. Instead, services and other intangible aspects of the supply chain dominate. While final assembly—commanding 2% of the value added in our case—has increasingly moved offshore, the developed countries continue to capture most of the value added generated by global supply chains.
