EMERGING NOKIA

SUBMITTED BY
SECTION -2, GROUP - 2
BACKGROUND
• Nokia entered telecommunication sector in 1981 by acquiring Finnish
government telecom company.
• Nokia has handset’s market share of 38% worldwide in 2009 and market leader
in many emerging countries.
• Later from 2009 started losing revenue in European market(15% decline in
2009)
• Competitors such as Samsung, Sony, Motorola started strengthening
themselves which impacted nokia’s position in market.
EMERGING MARKETS ANALYSIS
• Cost leadership strategy – low disposable income, so prices had to be kept low
• Growth in cell phone penetration by first-time purchasers.
• Device manufacturers sell directly to the end consumer.
• Services – important selling point. Eg: SMS packs.
• Pre-paid payment system.
• Fixed number of minutes when consumers buy a specific handset.
DEVELOPED MARKETS ANALYSIS

• Relatively inelastic demand


• Growing competition from Samsung, LG, Motorola and Sony Ericcson.
• Emergence of new operating systems – Android and Windows.
• Handsets sold through the operators who offered it on a contract basis.
WHY DID NOKIA FAIL? -
Did not adapt
• Accelerating market changes - Failed to adapt and compete, slow to respond
to changes
• Complacency prevailed – they kept working on their own technology without
accepting its limitations and adopting other innovations.
• Problems in operating system – Symbian gave Nokia an early advantage but
eventually lost its place.
• Did not adapt to the right direction – From changed from Symbian to
windows instead of android

SHUSHMITHA (DM20249)
Strategic choices were not appropriate
• Problems in operating system – Symbian gave Nokia an early advantage but
eventually lost its place.
• Focused a lot on distribution, services, etc in emerging markets – led to lower
importance to its core competency and innovation.
• Nokia demonstrated that in the nascent multipolar world, new global leaders
must excel in both advanced and emerging nations.
• Inability to understand demand – for touch phones.
• Nokia's U.S. operations exemplify its strategic erosion – low responsiveness
and flexibility in U.S. compared to other markets.
