Hi
Everyone, Welcome to Intelligent computing. In 2007, Nokia had world’s mobile
market share of 40%. Once Nokia became the Symons for Mobile. What went wrong
resulting only 15% share in recent report? In addition, talking about the
smartphone, Nokia had very low share of 3%.
Let
us know few more words about Nokia, what this acquisition makes us to learn.
More than 140 year
History of Nokia!
Finland
Based Mobile manufacturing company started in around 1880 and initially they
used to manufacture rubber goods, boots and gas mask for army forces. Later of
it manufactured even vehicle’s tires and its parts.
After
1980, Nokia got hot and started as rapid electronic market king. After 1987
Nokia had firm hold on Mobile market and it launched variety of mobile with all
basic functionality in it.
India,
Nokia’s leading market had lots of customer and trust.
What Changed in
this Millennium?
Once
I was reading an article and I got news of 2000, which had news that
Microsoft’s some leading people were estimating that after few year they will
be able to use Internet on their Mobile phone. It almost went 13 year and book
is open to all. Internet is now mobile, things changed rapidly after 1990s.
Hardware got Firm, slim and software got powerful.
Market
changed, people changed and no doubt, Nokia had adopted few changed to but not
totally. I believe that is what Nokia lacked and slipped from the Track.
Why Nokia had not
became smarter?
I
would say insecurity, lack of far vision and hesitation of adopting newer
technology. No doubt, Nokia had strong market and no one wanted to loose such
strong base. Beside Nokia Apple launched iPhone, and Nokia did not considered
touch screen phone and ignored the thought. After that Dual SIM phone became
the common for customer but Nokia got so late in understanding the need of it.
After
that OS, Nokia was still using s40, s60 series old concept operating system
where Microsoft, Google, Blackberry and Apple were continuously getting changes
in design and feel along with newer functionality in their OS.
What was Nokia in
2012-2013?
Very
few Nokia mobile were in use and most of range of s40 series. S60 series phone
were costing equal amount so people rather start buying Android, Google based
Open source mobile OS. Nokia had its Phone having Windows OS but it was having
cost that people could buy smart tablet or great featured android phone with
open functionally with millions of apps.
Even
being such large company, Nokia’s Acquisition held in just 7.2 Billion dollar,
comparing Skype sold in 8 billion dollar.
What we can
conclude now
This
deal would be completing in next 3 month and all Nokia employee will be now
Microsoft Employee. Customer will not get any trouble with this deal and
Microsoft will use the Nokia’s manufacturing capacity to launch Windows phone.
Bottom Line
If
you are thinking of today, you are too late. Think of tomorrow and you will
learn how to survive. Technology changes rapidly and market is dynamic, one
should keep experimenting rather than sticking with older one.
Hope
you’ve got to know about the Nokia Microsoft deal and its Effect. Do not forget
to leave your comment about this and share this post among the people in your
social connection.
Have
great time you all.
Nokia must adopt Android to survive..i admire their build quality..the smooth touch..the unique look and Camera...however i ABHOR the Windows OS...There are plenty of apps which i cant hv..so many high end games on android which i cant get on Windows..also the entire user experience is far more inferior to the Android OS...Nokia must adopt android else it will collapse..if it introduces one android phone..see how well it will be received..Microsoft has destroyed Nokia
ReplyDeleteyeah, you are damn right, i think nokia is popping out Lumia day by day and nothing in that to get the attention, one android can make big change.
ReplyDeleteNokia KILLED ITSELF with the infamous SYMBIAN, instead of allowing ANDROID system on their devices.
