Nokia was pretty innovative company on engineering side, they had smartphones years before first I-phone. Their management downplayed the innovation they had. Nokia 7700, nokia n-gage, nokia communicator. From my perspective Nokia was relatively innovative company, however places where carriers decide which phone people get they went to cheaper models. Also the path to what we consider normal feature phone took some innovation also. Also Nokia made hundred different differently innovative phones, but they all where made on top of legacy operating system which they kept too long.
@VALUETAINMENT8 жыл бұрын
Jouni Osmala - Thank you for the comment - I can see you were watching Nokia over the years. I think the N-gage and Communicator could be case studies all by themselves. Both products were 'innovative" but missed the core market in so many ways - each could be a case study. To your other point, yes, you are correct carriers wanted feature phones (and I worked for a carrier). But Nokia pushed those feature phones and wanted market share. They were very slow on content. - Nice chatting with you - GREAT POINTS. - Tom

From Nokia's earliest smartphones' designs dating from the mid-2000s e.g. N73, N76, N95, E65 & other Symbian S60 handsets, I guess the company's vision of the smartphone was basically having souped up software (compared to feature phones) but retaining the old hardware of feature phones e.g. soft keys & directional pad instead of touchscreen, 3x4 keypad instead of a keyboard (except for some E-series phones e.g. E61, E90). Didn't remember that they were very popular though, so I guess consumers didn't buy into Nokia's vision of the smartphone (navigating thru a website on your mobile browser using a directional pad is like doing so on your PC using only the Tab key (!)), though Symbian S60's user-unfriendliness was also probably another factor. I think a 3rd factor was that mobile data back then (mid-2000s) was also more expensive, at least in where I live (~$0.01/KB), which tempered the demand for smartphones in general back then also, as much of their selling points (e.g. email, GPS, Internet surfing) were reliant on mobile data. Fast forward a few years, the iPhone was launched and mobile data became cheaper, & with that smartphones became generally more popular (also because of apps). Meanwhile I saw that Nokia was a little slow to respond (IIRC the Symbian 8 OS running on the Nokia N8 launched in 2010 still had some similarities with the criticised Symbian S60). So I think with that, Nokia "missed the boat" and ceded market share to its rivals (e.g. Samsung, which was less popular in the mid-2000s when every model had a different UI (!) but became more popular among my peers from the late 2000s onwards as Samsung flooded their product lineup with touchscreens, which was gaining popularity then).

***** Ratan Tata was chairman of Tata he always talked about values. Values are more important than profit or loss. Like Nano car , its cheapest car in the world, but it is making losses and they still manufacturing it. Most of time I come across information like only 2 or 3 company makes profit in TATA and all other run out of that profit made by 2-3 companies . They also donate 66% of their profit too(2015 revenue more than 108 billion USD). What I fear is what happens if that 2 or 3 companies go down, it may create a earthquake in TATA. Why they work on this model ? A famous story was when he acquired Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford. (Ford actually insulted Tata when Tata tried to build a family car for the first time and failed and he took it on heart and later acquired loss making Jaguar and Land Rover and make them money making product.) From outside I see it as very risky business, but still they are around from nearly 100 years I guess. I just want to know what create respect and trust for a brand that people buy it with closed eye. I know my reply is bit confusing but so am I. Confused about TATA. Thank You.

Actually as a Finn I disagree a bit with reason that it was hubris that got them into the situation. Issue was more with the traditional management of Nokia, and playing too much on the safe side and then choosing wrong CEO, giving him too much unchecked power and then moving too much to the opposite side (playing reckless) with choosing only Windows Phone. I highly recommend checking Tomi Ahonen's blog on Nokia's demise to get some ideas behind reasons why Nokia fell into it's current state, interesting reading if you are mobile professional. BTW, other videos are pretty cool and Tesla video was quite illuminating.

As a perennial student of case studies, I too witnessed the incredulous demise of Nokia but to further pinpoint exactly what it was that caused their demise was not simply hubris. It was open apps. Typical of giant corporations, Nokia did not want to open their OS and allow outsiders to build apps and contents without their proper control. Steve Jobs at Apple already learned his painful lesson when his Apples lost out to IBM PC clones. So this time when his Iphone launched he made his iphone open for app developers. The iphone became an open market where thousands of people were able to develop thousands of apps. Android phones also followed this path of open architecture for app developers. Nokia kept their system closed so you only ended up with a handful of pretty lousy apps. Microsoft came late to the party and by then developers were first developing apps for iphones or androids, porting to a third os with small numbers was a low priority. So what killed Nokia? They killed themselves by closing their doors on apps. Just a runaway hit from a third party developer and iphones and androids were the phones to get. Remember Angry Bird, Candy Crush, Farmville, etc. There were landmark 20,000 apps available by the time you wanted to buy iphone 2. And how many apps did Nokia have? Less than a hundred? So in summary, an open system where you are willing to share is what made ios and android succeed, and symbian fail.

Having owned a number of their smartphones (3650, 6330 and N81) from the time you say they weren't doing anything, they most definitely were. Only real problem was that they investing in useless things like DVB-T (broadcast TV on smartphones) while having declared all touch screen devices a limited passing fad like flip phones. Flip phones after all only ever really became a "thing" in north America while the rest of the world just found them impractical with the way you had to fold them up to use them with no benefit in size or features. As for Microsoft writing them off, the whole purchase was part of Steve Ballmer's longer term strategies. However by the time it was completed Nadella had replaced him and Nadella was against the whole deal from the start so the shutdown commenced about as fast as the purchase had been completed. What really killed Nokia's smartphones was simply that they had the wrong platform when the market shifted from being focused on the devices themselves and their capabilities to being more focused on the platform the device was running. First they had their slightly archaic, but serviceable, Symbian. However as they were transitioning to the much less archaic and very good MeeGo Harmhattan Elop takes the helm and has them go for Windows Phone, which was a case study in "Too little - Too late" from it's release to it's discontinuation and thus a complete failure as a platform. No matter how good the hardware, anything running Windows phone was always going to be a failure.

Great video. I wish you had gone more into detail and mentioned the big problem that eventually led to their demise; their choice of an OS. They kept their own OS for far too long, and even though it was great and innovative for the time, the age of smartphones required something more. There were people inside the company advocating for switching to Android pretty early on, but the management didn't budge. Eventually they made two development teams _compete_ with each other; one making a reworked version of their old OS and I think the other one was making a version of Android. All in all, they hummed and hawed for too long. The management side was too bulky. Nokia means a lot to me because I'm Finnish and a programmer no less, but their current phones are awfully mediocre and the Windows OS sucks. But even though the Nokia we knew and loved no longer exists, the talent here is more plentiful than ever. Even though we've a tiny nation, we have the ability to do great things in this industry.

I remember exactly how Nokia went down... I was a huge Nokia fan, I would disagree with Tom that they were not innovative. They have invented WAP a predecessor of web pages for mobile, they made phones compatible with multiple GSM technologies, they were the first to put camera on a phone and they were the first to use big color displays... there were more "firsts" but then iPhone came and i bought the first generation iphone enven though i was in Europe - it was that cool. There were those idiot Nokia fans that were mindlessly defending small hard keyboard dumbphones that Nokia produced and Nokia executives have bough into their false idea that iphone is for high end market... not for common people... well then the android came and it was obvious that it was not the case... but even at that point it was possible to save Nokia untill Stephen Ellop... that guy was the end of Nokia. Till Ellop was not in the office it was still possible to save them... Ellop came and stopped all the key initiatives an Injected Microsoft poison to the Nokia body and that was the end of it...
@VALUETAINMENT8 жыл бұрын
Flankymanga - First, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Second, yes, it is true that Nokia did many interesting things in the beginning and that is how they achieved 52% market share. The proof of hubris is that they missed many things in the Smartphone market and they lost their market share and had a terrible ending. The point you make about Ellop is also very true, but he didn't do it alone, there were many problems. It is a sad story. I enjoyed chatting with you. Thanks again - Tom
@Flankymanga8 жыл бұрын
True - i just wanted to point out that they had to be innovative to get to such a huge market share... but they missed the big touch screen train... and i happen to think that it was a targeted sabotage. From withink and outside as well... Because as you correctly pointed out to get such a huge market share they had to be smart. However my feeling is that hubris might have played a role in this but there was much more... Nokia was experimenting with products and technologies. Not many people know that they were one of the first companies to make tablets N770 or even netbooks Nokia Booklet. So i find it very hard to believe that they havent recognized market trends and Ellop is a story for itself. He came from Microsoft so it was obvious who is going to hunt for Nokia, but his history is worse than that. Ellop used to be a CEO of a very succesfull American Software company called Macromedia. In the early days of internet their products called Dreamviewer and Flash were legendary. Then Ellop came and Macromedia went down and ultimately Adobe bought them... So when Nokia was deciding whom to put as CEO something went very wrong and i would not rule out foul play.

There's an error in the timeline. Danger was not purchased by Google. It was purchased by Microsoft for $500M and then only two phones before being discontinued. Andy Rubin (founder of danger) started a company called Android inc. which was sold to good.

I worked for a company that was an R&D partner providing hardware for Nokia phones and from what I know Nokia has done a lot of innovation on Camera, power management and audio and they were the best .infact the first ever mobile processor interface standards for camera etc were set by Nokia. Microsoft targeted Nokia for their patents. They lost because they did not for see consumer traction for touchscreen phones and did not improve their Symbian OS

Hello Tom, Your case study boils down to a statement that 'What gets you here won't get you there'. Am I getting it wrong when I feel that this is in contrast with Al Ries' Focus Strategy which prohibits line development and advises to get more specialized as a company grows? Could you explain how Nokia could have remained a giant without losing its brand uniqueness? Thank You Tom.
@VALUETAINMENT7 жыл бұрын
Alevvio official - Great point. Trout and Ries wrote some of the great books on marketing and positioning. I think Nokia's focus was "OK" - mobile phones (not tablets, PCs, etc.). However - they failed to shift from what was called "feature phones" to smartphones. They tried with their Symbian system but it had issues and failed where Android succeeded. You could probably debate this for hours, but what is not debatable is that they failed and fell from 52% to 2% market share and too many people lost jobs and were impacted. That is a tragedy. - Tom

Nokia ignored the fact that everyone was jumping ship to Android, and they foolishly clung to Symbian, the Symbian app store was a ghost town compared to the Android one, whoever the executive was at Nokia to stick with symbian, made a death blow decision for Nokia. We were all selling our Nokias to buy Android phones - bad move Nokia.

I had a Nokia 3 now a Nokia 6, as i'm a idiot with phones and rough on them, and they are cheaper and okai, but the reception is better than my former flagships, that's why i tried them.. Reception also made Nokia big as they always had a phone signal, which is not the case today with all the electronics inside them that interfere with each other..

I had Nokia Lumia 625 bought 3 years ago for 1400PLN (370$) and now I can't even sell it for 200PLN (around 50$) because everybody wants Android and iOS. I have changed it for Android too, 1 year ago cause I was't been able to do much with shi&&y system. Nokia is officialy gone.

Danger was actually bought by Microsoft in 2011. Danger was founded by Andy Rubin who left in 2003 to create Android, which was later bought by Google - I think that is where the confusion lies.

I'm still wondering why they didn't take big hints, or more like flashing signs, from competitors and learn from it. I was really young at the time and even I saw that what they were doing is stupid and not working. iPhone was such a success and clearly what people really wanted. All they had to do was to ride it's success like Android did.
