There came a time where it shut down its manufacturing plants in most of the countries. If they had put more focus on collecting the data and analyzed it, they could have sustained the markets. Although there were other internal problems like organizational failure, unwillingness to adapt to change, internal politics, one of the main reasons was the lack of proper data analysis which proved to be a major blow in company's profits.

Firms who dominate the mobile communications industry, such as Apple and Samsung, have relatively higher bargaining power, because their larger product orders account for more of the suppliers business.

In the opinion of Baumol and Blinder (2011, p. 235), "monopolistic competition is a market structure characterized by many small firms selling somewhat different products." The authors in this case further note that the output of each entity is small in comparison to the market's aggregate output of competing but closely related products. With that in mind, the mobile phone market exhibits some key characteristics of monopolistic competition. In this market, customers in need of mobile phones are presented with a wide range of options to choose from. For instance, a customer who enters a mobile phone handset shop has the option of purchasing a Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry or even an LG handset. All these products despite being closely related are also largely differentiated. As Tucker (2010, p. 268) notes, "the key feature of

Nokia’s aggressive strategy to dominate mobile communication cluster would be the main reason how Nokia could become a world leader in the sector among other reasons. Nokia’s passion for mobile communication industry was great enough to give up more than 40% of its revenue in is pre-owned communication industry to concentrate only in mobile communications. Nokia was also lucky enough to see the possibility of mobile communication early enough to predominate the industry and prevent any competition from

Porter's Five Forces model was used in many different industries.The five forces are threat of new entrants, threat of substitute products or services, bargaining power of customers (buyers), bargaining power of suppliers, intensity of competitive rivalry. This theory is based on the concept that there are five forces that determine the competitive intensity and attractiveness of a market. Porter’s five forces help to identify where power lies in a business situation. This is useful both in understanding the strength of an organisation’s current competitive position, and the strength of a position that an organisation may

In this article, Mr. Porter introduced a five forces model to evaluate level of competition within an industry and therefore its attractiveness in terms of the overall industry profitability. He claimed that industry structure is the main driver of profitability and competition and successful analysts can use the five forces model to help them in identifying "an industry with a good future" ahead of time.

From Nokia’s vision and mission statement it can be inferred that Nokia wants to be known for its credibility and to be a market leader again as it was before the year 2007 (Kess, 2014). Nokia understands that the company has to use innovation to offer products that are not yet

The model of the Five Competitive Forces was developed by Michael E. Porter in his book „Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors“ in 1980. Since that time it has become an important tool for analyzing an organizations industry structure in strategic processes.

For more than a decade Nokia was the world leader in the mobile phone market. It is evident from the fact that Nokia 1100 was the world’s bestselling mobile phone. NOKIA was also one of the first companies to recognize the market potential for a product combined from gaming console and a mobile phone. Failure to recognize the market potential in the smart phone segment has put NOKIA out of the market eventually. Microsoft made one of its huge acquisitions by purchasing Nokia’s mobile business in 2014. A number of fixed costs are associated with smart phone manufacturing. By acquiring Nokia, Microsoft has fixed costs such as Intellectual property, Test equipment, and manufacturer contracts. In other words,

Intermediaries such as Carphone warehouse or network stores such as Orange also have other handsets readily available, which makes it difficult for Nokia to have a direct impact on the selling of their handsets2. Hence, bargaining power of buyers is high.

Prior to the turn of the 21st Century Nokia been the leader of world telecommunications. Nokia the town had diversified into the business in the 1990’s after producing everything from toilet roll, rubber boots, and televisions within its eleven divisions. (Sainsbury 2013:55). However in recent years, Nokia’s telecommunications sales has decreased with net sales falling by 17% from 2013/14 (Nokia Annual financial reports page 93). Previously they have been delving into a more software driven acquiring Gate 5 and Navteq both software companies. Nokia also adopted Microsoft’s Windows Phone Operating System for Smart devices as an alternative to IOS and Android in the hope of bolstering their competiveness within the market in 2011, as well as the purchase

I vividly remember the first time a mobile phone, the legendary Nokia 8110, had been welcomed in our family through my father. Although it was Motorola Incorporation that launched the first mobile in 1973 into the market by Martin Cooper, who was working as an engineer for the company at that time, Nokia had managed to astonish people in my country, Turkey, by the 8110. It had all the attention, for a specific period of time, in

Nokia was founded in 1865 in Nokia Finland as a timber and paper company. One could say Nokia from the beginning was a communication company. On the turn of the century the company started producing rubber. It was not until the 1960s when Nokia started the electronic venture. It was only in 1987 that with their major acquisition they brought the venture into reality and entered the electronic competition. With a rapid growth Nokia became one the leading European electronic companies. To increase profit Nokia was divided into five business groups which Nokia Mobile Phone is one of them. According to the case "in 1990, 68% of Nokia's sales came from electronics, compared with

We can see thanks to the S.W.O.T.T that Nokia has different strength especially the brand name, the experience, it is the founder of the mobile, but also its level of research and development, the quality of the workforce and of the device. But Nokia was not able to use this strength efficiently in the mobile market.
