Motorola, famous amongst mobile phones, and one of the top cellular phone companies in the world till late 1990, later it was captured by the company Nokia. While writing this case we have thrown light on the challenges and problems faced by Motorola around 2006-2007. One of the ideas incorporated in order to recapture the market in the year 2006 was to slash the prices of almost all the cell phones which impacted the returns of the company. Motorola did announce in the year 2007 that they will revive shortly and would have the market share back.
Even if users could ignore the OS, the the hardware features which Nokia was rolling out were quiet late as compared its major competitors Samsung and Apple. 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. Samsung did everything right to focus only on product innovation and started competing with Apple in all product lines from smartphones to tablets, but Nokia failed to develop a focused device

Nokia is well-known as a Finnish Corporation which makes quality phones, but at its beginning, it was just a pulp mill. According to Nokia Website (Our history, 2017), “Few companies have Nokia’s storied capacity for transforming, developing new technologies and adapting to shifts in market conditions.” Indeed, Nokia had a successful transformation in business.
