Conclusion and Recommendation
According to the strong competition in the mobile phone market, Nokia
should improve their mobile phone’s abilities such as function of internet
using on mobile, and also produce new application to satisfy customers’
needs. They should not be too dependent on Microsoft, because it would
be hazard for the company. On the other hand, Nokia should keep
developing the mobile phone technology at the same time Microsoft focus
on software and another application that relates to mobile phone using. It
might be true that is difficult for Nokia to recover from the problems while
the competition of mobile phone is very strong due to the trend of smart
phones for Apple and Google’s Android operating system, but cooperation
between Nokia which produces numerous portfolios and has a very large
distributed channel around the world and Microsoft that is the worldwide
leader in software, would create new efficiently technology to offer
customers and be successful again.
