BACKGROUND

Finland, with a special language and culture, has developed as a country in between the west (the Nordic region and Europe) and the east (especially its neighbor Russia). In the 1980s, a process started of moving out of an investment-driven economy into an innovation-driven one. With the collapse of the Soviet Union around 1990, Finland reached a crisis.

Obvious Question: How was Finland able to become a world-

leading nation in mobile communications? Why did this cluster emerge rather than others?

9

ANSWER

One distinctive reason why Finland could be a world-leading nation in mobile communication is because of the initial demand of such need.

Due to Finland’s geographical character, Finish population is spread thinly across the country and only few cities such as Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa is heavily populated.

For such reason, a wired communication was not suitable in Finland and the need for wireless communication grew, naturally developing mobile communication technology.

10

ORIGIN Nokia was founded in 1865 by Fredrik Idestam in Finland as a

paper manufacturing company. In 1920, Finnish Rubber Works became a part of the company, and later on in 1922, Finnish Cable Works joined them. All the three companies were merged in 1967 to form the Nokia Group.

The name of Nokia, originated from the river which flowed through the town. The river itself, Nokianvirta, was named after the archaic Finnish word originally meaning a small, dark-furred animal that lived on the banks of the Nokianvirta river.

In the late 1970s, Nokia started taking an active interest in the power and electronics businesses and by 1987, consumer electronics became Nokia's major business. Nokia created the NMT mobile phone standard in 1981 and launched the first NMT phone, Mobira Cityman, in 1987. The company delivered the first GSM network to Radkilinia, a Finnish company in 1991, and in 1992, Nokia ion - a precursor for all Nokia's current GSM phones - was introduced.

INVOLVEMENT IN GSM

Nokia delivered its first GSM network to the Finnish operator Radiolinja in 1989.The world's first commercial GSM call was made on July 1, 1991 in Helsinki, Finland over a Nokia-supplied network, by then Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a prototype Nokia GSM phone.In 1992, the first GSM phone, the Nokia 1011, was launched. The model number refers to its launch date, 10 November. The Nokia 1011 did not yet employ Nokia's characteristic ringtone, the Nokia tune. It was introduced as a ringtone in 1994 with the Nokia 2100 series.

In the 1990s, Nokia provided GSM services to 90 operators across the world. Another significant move of the company during this period was the divestment of its non-core operations like IT. The company focused on two core businesses - mobile phones and telecommunications networks. Between 1992 and 1996, the company exited from the rubber and cable businesses. By 1994 it was in the technology and mobile communications business and by 2000 it had just under 60,000 employees in over 50 countries with sales of 31 billion Euros.

15

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The control and management of Nokia is divided among the shareholders at a general meeting and the Group Executive Board under the direction of the Board of Directors .The Chairman and the rest of the Group Executive Board members are appointed by the Board of Directors. Only the Chairman of the Group Executive Board can belong to both, the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board. The Board of Directors' committees consist of the Audit Committee, the Personnel Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee.

The operations of the company are managed within the framework set by the Finnish Companies Act, Nokia's Articles of Association and Corporate Governance Guidelines, and related Board of Directors adopted charters.

NOKIA BEYOND 2003: A MOBILE GATEKEEPER?

In 2003, Nokia was the dominant maker of cell phones around the world. It had more than twice the global handset market share of its closest competitor, Motorola. While in a position of strength in 2003, the company faced large challenges in the immediate future.

For example, the so-called third generation (3G) of mobile technology was experiencing a slow arrival and uncertain consumer reception. In addition, there was uncertainty about which type of 3G technology would dominate. Perhaps a larger strategic issue for Nokia, however, was its plan for its operating system. In the past, other handset makers were willing to adopt Nokia's popular handset operating system.

By 2003, however, Microsoft has entered the market with its own mobile operating system. As mobile devices become more robust, e.g., incorporating Web-enabled phones with PDAs, the importance of mobile operating systems increases. How can Nokia contend with the entry of the extremely well-funded Microsoft into its core market?

23

NOKIA WITH 40% MARKET SHARE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2007

Nokia announced that it had achieved a 40% market share in the fourth quarter of 2007. This lead in the global handset business was achieved by Nokia while also becoming more profitable. Nokia increased profit in the fourth quarter of 2007 by 44%, to $2.68 billion, on sales of $23 billion. Increasing sales in emerging markets, coupled with growth in high-end phones were two important factors responsible for the boost in profits. Nokia plans to increase its market share further in 2008. 24

Gartner Says Worldwide Mobile Phone Sales Declined 8.6% and Smartphones Grew 12.7% In First Quarter of 2009

27

APPLE, RIM EAT INTO NOKIA'S MARKET SHARE

While Nokia is still the overwhelming leader in the smartphone market, it's feeling increased pressure from high-end devices like the iPhone and the BlackBerry.

Nokia is still the leader in the smartphone market, but rivals Apple and Research In Motion are steadily increasing market share, according to a report by Gartner.

28

STANDING TALL

The report, titled "Market Share: Smartphones, Worldwide, 4Q08 And 2008," said Nokia shipped 60.9 million smartphones last year for a total market share of 43.7%. While this was more than twice the market share of the nearest competitor, it was a drop from 49.4% market share in 2007. The world's largest cell phone manufacturer is facing increased competition in the high-end department, and its paltry presence in the U.S. market could continue to hurt it as smartphone sales increase.

Nokia also continued to lead the mobile phone market, but its share dropped to 36.2 percent from 39.1 percent in the first quarter of 2008. Samsung retained second place and improved its market share as its sales totalled 51.4 million units. After dropping to the fifth position in the fourth quarter of 2008, Motorola overtook Sony Ericsson to regain fourth place.

CHALLANGES In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the corporation ran into serious

financial problems, a major reason being its heavy losses by the television manufacturing division and businesses that were just too diverse.These problems, and a suspected total burnout, probably contributed to Kairamo taking his own life in 1988. After Kairamo's death, Simo Vuorilehto became Nokia's Chairman and CEO. In 1990–1993, Finland underwent severe economic depression, which also struck Nokia. Under Vuorilehto's management, Nokia was severely overhauled. The company responded by streamlining its telecommunications divisions, and by divesting itself of the television and PC divisions.

Probably the most important strategic change in Nokia's history was made in 1992, however, when the new CEO Jorma Ollila made a crucial strategic decision to concentrate solely on telecommunications. Thus, during the rest of the 1990s, the rubber, cable and consumer electronics divisions were gradually sold as Nokia continued to divest itself of all of its non-telecommunications businesses. 41

NOKIA TELECOMMUNICATIONS: REDESIGN OF INTERNATIONAL

LOGISTICS Nokia faces the challenge of implementing the global network

model: global R&D and production networks for global learning and control combined with local sales and customer service for a local market presence.

As late as 1991, more than a quarter of Nokia's turnover still came from sales in Finland. However, after the strategic change of 1992, Nokia saw a huge increase in sales to North America, South America and Asia. The exploding worldwide popularity of mobile telephones, beyond even Nokia's most optimistic predictions, caused a logistics crisis in the mid-1990s.

This prompted Nokia to overhaul its entire logistics operation. It launches an international logistics project to provide integrated solutions delivery and after-sales service.

By 1998, Nokia’s focus on telecommunications and its early investment in GSM technologies had made the company the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. Between 1996 and 2001, Nokia’s turnover increased almost fivefold from 6.5 billion euros to 31 billion euros. Logistics continues to be one of Nokia's major advantages over its rivals, along with greater economies of scale.

45

46

Channels:

Nokia > Distributer >> Whole seller >>> Retailer >>>> Customer

With an extremely complex supply chain that handles 100 billion components, 60 Strategic suppliers and 10 factories worldwide, Nokia had to be extremely focused in their transformation efforts. New product introductions and variations are also intense – 1 phone can represent 170 handset variations and 250 sales package variants. To support this complexity, the operations philosophy has been: thinkglobally, act locally, i.e. balancing localized decision-making with global planning. Metals from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Tantalum from Brazil, Canada, Russia, China and a number of other countries in Central Africa. Other materials More recently the company has been working with suppliers of other minerals, such as Cobalt and Tin, to improve transparency of the supply chain and understand how standards can be promoted.

The Supply Chain Process Of Nokia

47

Ellinor Nordenström says this involves going beyond averages to establish the actual multi-modal split, that is, the distribution of emissions among the different modes of transportation.

Air and sea freight is the responsibility of environmental and quality manager Jouni Sormunen, who works for Danzas AEI Intercontinental Oy at the Helsinki airport.

Land-based transport is the responsibility of environmental manager Arja Huotari, who works for Danzas ASG Euro-cargo Oy in Helsinki.

48

While looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of customer logistics Danzas works to improve its own environmental performance. This includes careful planning of travel by personnel, reduction of energy consumption and the evaluation of sources of energy on environmental grounds, as well as minimizing and sorting waste.

AMR RESEARCH RANKS NOKIA'S GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN NUMBER SIX

IN THE WORLD.

Nokia makes money at the low end because of its superefficient supply-chain and manufacturing systems. It also keeps costs and complexity under control by sharing components among devices and designing phones that have fewer parts than competing models. Such practices pushed Nokia to the No. 1 spot this year in Boston consultancy AMR Research’s annual survey of top supply-chain operators, ahead of logistics champions such as Toyota and Wal-Mart. (Motorola was a respectable No. 12 in the ranking, which was based in part on a poll of supply-chain executives.) Analysts say even low-cost Chinese producers such as Huawei Technologies can’t match the efficiency of Nokia, which operates its own factories in Vietnam, India, and other low-wage countries.

NOKIA'S STRATEGY IN THE EMERGING MARKETSEXAMPLE- INDIA

In the emerging markets, Nokia's business strategy is to:

Increase mobile usage in rural areas.

Reduce the mobile phone ownership and operating costs.

Bring the benefits of mobile telephony to people in emerging markets.

Bring the power of the Internet to these markets.

In the infrastructure business, Nokia Networks had become a key supplier to

all five GSM operators in the country; Bharti, BSNL, BPL,

Hutchison(Vodafone), and IDEA.

AN END-TO-END PLAYER WITH A PRODUCT FOR EVERYONE

Nokia caters to the mass-market and also the high-end market and has a product for everyone. The company's focus would continue to be driving demand and foster brand aspiration.

In November 2008, in India, Nokia introduced handsets (prices ranging from €25 to €90 - Nokia's lowest cost handset to date at €25) and a range of services (available from first-half of 2009). The services will be expanded to other countries in Asia and Africa later.

Mobile phone maker Nokia says India has overtaken the US to become its second largest market in terms of sales.

Growing market "Out of 185 million mobile phone users in India,

85 million use Nokia phones," the managing director at Nokia's India unit added.

More than half of the 49 million mobile users in India carried a Nokia handset. Six out of every 10 people who bought a mobile phone in India picked up a Nokia. Many of them had made theirfirst ever-mobile call on a Nokia phone over a Nokia network. The 1100, the phone which was 'Made for India', had become Nokia's largest selling model globally.
