FACTORS FOR RISE AND FALL.
Before iphone, handset like Nokia with record selling was based on fashion and brand rather than technological innovation.
Apple proved phone was not just a communication tool but a way of life.

Threats from emerging domestic companies like Micromax, Karbonn, Maxx, Lava, Spice etc who offer similar features at lower pricesIn the higher segment it is losing market share to players like Apple, HTC, Blackberry, Samsung, etc
THREATS
SWOT ANALYSIS
THE TUMBLE DOWN!
First hit when competition started. Second hit when Competitors took over
COMPETITION…
While it was not totally unexpected, what caught Nokia off-guard is the rate at which competitors where innovating new technology.
Since the launch of the iPhone/Android phones, Nokia failed to keep up with the industry. While other kept proceeding ahead aggressively by ‘hook or crook’.

HOW NOKIA FAILED IN CONNECTING 'TO' PEOPLE
Introduction of Iphone in 2007.
Nokia relied too much on Windows platform which was proved as another costlier step for the brand.
Apple redefined smart phones with touch screen and Blackberry with email. Android proved that software matters more than hardware. Nokia was slow to respond to these trends.
In India, local brands stole the lead on dual SIMs, low-end Qwerty and long-battery-life phones.
ANDROID WEAKENED ROOTS OF NOKIA?
In 2008, brands like Samsung, HTC, and Micromax found roots to extend their market.
Samsung's Android phones are user friendly and budget friendly too. Google bought a company called Android and announced an Open Handset
Alliance, a grouping of industries players who would come together to build an OS for smart phones. But Nokia refused the invitation.
Nokia's entrance into Windows platform is quite late. Finally Nokia gave up for a 7.1 billion to Microsoft.
MISTAKES THAT LEAD TO NOKIA FAILURE
1. Failure of Symbian OS:
Nokia launched its Symbian 60 series in year 2002 which initially had a good market response.
The introduction of Apple IOS in 2007 and Android in 2008, the OS race was completely taken over by the two giants.
The reasons for collapse of Symbian OS is lack of applications and UI (User Interface).
After facing competition from iOS and Android, Nokia continuously tried to improve their Symbian OS but was not creating something unique.
2. WRONG DEAL WITH WINDOWS
The company made the biggest mistake to take a leap of faith in Windows in 2011. At that point of time, the company already was in declining condition and trusting Windows which was new in the field to regain its status was the biggest mistake the company made.
All these phones which the company launched were comparable to other competitor devices but OS was the problem which lead to ultimate collapse of company.
3. NOKIA BECAME LAGGARD IN SMARTPHONE MARKET
COMPLACENCY: Stiff competition from Samsung and Apple.
Lack on focus on innovation was the second big reason of collapse.
Nokia seemed to be lagging in the race. Where Samsung from nowhere entered the race and focused on innovation as its core competence to gain the market share, Nokia was very late to realize this fact.
COMPETITION… LACK OF INNOVATION: If analyzed through the Technology Lens, Nokia primarily failed to innovate attractive
technology and features.
For example: 1. Nokia had touchscreen phones, it did not attract customers as much as compared
to Apple iPhones. 2. China Mobile- it made exact copies of Nokia
The software being developed were using old development models and newer concepts such as User Experience and User Interface were being neglected.
Nokia was clinging onto Symbian OS for too long. It had reached its peak.
REDRAFTING STRATEGIES
In September 2013, Nokia announces that it has entered into an agreement with Microsoft whereby Microsoft would purchase substantially all Devices & Services, the Nokia business which makes mobile phones and smartphones.
• Stephen Elop facilitated this deal and his role in it has been questionable.
• Though Nokia is now reporting profits, it had lost its glory in the market it once dominated single-handedly.
WHAT DID STEPHEN ELOP DO WRONG ?Inspecting with the organization and human performance lens.WOULD TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE LEAD TO TECHNOLOGICAL OBSOLESCENCE?Awareness StageConsideration StageDecision Stage
The George Washington UniversityWRONG DECISIONS.
While the entire smartphone OS industry was evolving, manufacturers moved on and adopted various operating systems like Android, Windows, Bada, Meego, et cetera, Nokia decided to stick to Windows OS only.
As Android and iOS became more popular, Nokia and its windows phones failed to attract any attention.
• Though the new technologies developed by Nokia were ground breaking, they were not promising enough.
RESULTS
During the 3 years Elop was Nokia CEO, Nokia revenues fell 40%, Nokia profits fell 95%, Nokia market share collapsed in smartphones from 34% to 3.4%
Nokia's credit rating went from AAA to junk, Nokia's share price dropped 60% in value and Nokia's market capitalization lost a minimum of $13 Billion in value.
• The Financial Times calculated that Nokia shareholders ended up paying Elop a bonus of 1 million Euros for every 1.5 Billion in market capital that Elop was able to destroy while Nokia CEO
RUMOR MILL Stephen Elop was working with Microsoft’s Business Division before
moving to Nokia. He was the first non-Finnish CEO of Nokia and it is argued that
Stephen was sent with the sole purpose of devaluating Nokia as to make it easier and cheaper for Microsoft to buy it.
Microsoft being a software giant always had ambitions to acquire a hardware sector firm and as Nokia dipped to the bottom, Microsoft announced that it had bought Nokia for $7.2 Billion.
• While all this happened, Stephen comes back to Microsoft as VP of Microsoft's Devices & Services business unit and gets a signing bonus of $25 Million
CONCLUSION
From Technology perspective, Nokia did not deliver as per expectations based on previous performance
From the Strategy perspective, though Nokia did eventually come up with nice lucrative products, it lost in the race against time due to poor strategies and sly competition.
From the organizational and people perspective, the new CEO’s attitude and competency proved to be fatal for the company.
The entire Rubik of Organization , people and strategy failed to deliver for Nokia.
Questions are welcomed.
