About the Company

Nokia Corporation (NYSE: NOK) is one of the world's largest

telecommunications equipment manufacturers. With headquarters in
Keilaniemi of Espoo, Finland, this Finnish telecommunications company is
best known today for its leading range of mobile phones. Nokia also
produces mobile phone infrastructure and other telecommunications
equipment for applications such as traditional voice telephony, ISDN,
broadband access, professional mobile radio, voice over IP, wireless LAN
and a line of satellite receivers.

Nokia provides mobile communication equipment for every major market

and protocol, including GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA.

Nokia was established in 1865 as a wood-pulp mill by Fredrik Idestam on the

banks of Nokia rapids. Finnish Rubber Works established its factories in the
beginning of 20th century nearby and began using Nokia as its brand. Shortly
after World War I Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia wood mills as well
as Finnish Cable Works, a producer of telephone and telegraph cables. All
three companies were merged as Nokia Corporation in 1967. The name
Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town of the same
name (Nokia).
In the 1970s Nokia became more involved in the telecommunications
industry by developing the Nokia DX 200, a digital switch for telephone
exchanges. In the 1980s, Nokia offered a series of personal computers called
MikroMikko [1], however, these operations were sold to International
Computers, Ltd. (ICL), which was later merged with Fujitsu-Siemens AG.
Nokia also began developing mobile phones for the NMT network;
unfortunately, the company ran afoul of serious financial problems in the
1990s and streamlined its manufacturing of mobile phones, mobile phone
infrastructure, and other telecommunications areas, divesting itself of other
items, such as televisions and personal computers.

In 2004, Nokia resorted to similar streamlining practices with layoffs and

organizational restructuring, although on a significantly smaller scale. This,
however, diminished Nokia's public image in Finland, and produced a
number of court cases along with, at least, one television show critical of
Nokia.

Recently, Nokia joined other mobile phone manufacturers to embrace

Taiwanese Original Device Manufacturers. Nokia signed a contract with
BenQ, a Taiwanese Original Device Manufacturer, to develop three high-end
mobile phones, which are scheduled to retail by the end of 2005.
 Nokia in the Region of Asia – Pacific

A leading player in mobile communications in the Asia Pacific, Nokia first

started operations in the region in the early 1980s. It has since established a

major facilities in Masan, Korea, and Beijing and Dongguan in China.

grow its leadership in mobile voice communications, Nokia has four business
groups to best meet the unique dynamics of each business.

 Product

Historically, the thinking was: a good product will sell itself. However there
are no bad products anymore in today's highly competitive markets. Plus
there are many laws giving customers the right to send back products that
he perceives as bad. Therefore the question on product has become: does
the organization create what its intended customers want? Define the
characteristics of your product or service that meets the needs of your
customers.

• Quality
• Appearance

New Products Launching & Operating Highlights

The Mobile Phones business group increased its consumer offering

ownership for users.

Price:
How much are the intended customers willing to pay? Here we decide on
a pricing strategy - do not let it just happen! Even if you decide not to ask
(enough) money for a product or service, you must realize that this is a
conscious decision and forms part of the pricing strategy. Although
competing on price is as old as mankind, the consumer is often still
sensitive for price discounts and special offers. Price has also an irrational
side: something that is expensive must be good. Permanently competing
on price is for many companies not a very sensible approach.

List Price:
• Discounts
• Financing
• Leasing Options
• Allowances.

Place
Available at the right place, at the right time, in the right quantities? Some
of the recent major changes in business have come about by changing
Place. Think of the Internet and mobile telephones

Locations:
• Logistics
• Channel members
• Channel Motivation
• Market Coverage
• Service Levels
• Internet
• Accessibility

Promotion
How are the chosen target groups informed or educated about the
organization and its products? This includes all the weapons in the
marketing armory - advertising, selling, sales promotions, Public
Relations, etc. While the other three P's have lost much of their meanings
in today's markets, Promotion has become the most important P to focus
on.

Advertising:
• Front Line Service
• Public Relations
• Message
• Direct Sales
• Sales
• Media
• Budget

People
All people directly or indirectly involved in the consumption of a service are an
important part of the extended marketing mix. Knowledge Workers, Employees,
Management and other Consumers often add significant value to the total product
or service offering.

Process
 Procedure, mechanisms and flow of activities by which services are consumed
(customer management processes) are an essential element of the marketing
strategy.
Nokia has rapidly moved from functionally oriented organisation to a
business process oriented mode, and our information systems have not
followed the change as fast as they should. To fill the gap, IM organisation
must learn and implement working methods which enable the creation of
business process oriented information systems. To satisfy these business
needs, Nokia has introduced a new development approach for information
systems development. These processes have been created and tested during
the SPI.

In 1996, the starting point of software engineering practices in Nokia

Mobile Phones/Information Management was that there were no clearly
defined processes to guide the software development according to the
business needs. Requirement analysis was usually done with an ad-hoc style
without a pre-defined process. For the technical design and implementation,
there was a first version of project manual to follow.

Technical environment from IT point of view at Nokia is great.

Market’s leading brands are utilized in every part of the company and
personnel’s skill level is high in technical issues. In the SPI project, ICL ltd
was selected as the vendor to provide a consulting point of view and to
deliver their skills for business analysis and requirements specification areas.

Business environment in telecommunication industry is fast moving

and quite young, which means big challenges for information management:
timing is crucial. Because of the changing environment, also organisation is
changing rapidly. Change is an every day phenomenon at Nokia, which helps
a lot when changing working practices as a part the SPI. Skill set needed for
the business and requirements analysis and other parts of the SPI is different
from the technical expertise so common at Nokia. In order to succeed, some
time for training was reserved during the SPI.

The technical target environment for the SPI included a R/3 based
standard package as the baseline project environment, a CASE tool to
support the IM Process and an intranet environment where the results were
shared.

SWOT Analysis of the Company: Nokia

Strengths:
Nokia has largest network of distribution and selling as compared
to other mobile phone company in the world. It is backed with the high
quality and professional team in the HRD Dept. The financial aspect is
very strong in case of Nokia as it has many more profitable business. The
product being user friendly and have all the accessories one want that is
why is in great demand making it No-1 selling mobile phones in the
world. Wide range of products for all class. The re-sell value of Nokia
phones are high compared to other company’s product.

Weakness:
Nokia has many strengths and some weakness. Some of the
weakness includes the price of the product offered by the company.
Some of the products are not user friendly. Not concern about the lower
class f the society people. Not targeting promotion toward them. The
price of the product is the main issue. The service centers in India are
very few and scare. So after sales service is not good.

Opportunity:
 Nokia has ample of opportunity to expand its business. With the
wide range in products, features and different price range for different
people, it has an advantage over the competitors around. With the
opportunity like ‘Telecom penetration in India’ being at the peak time,
Nokia has an opportunity to increase its sales as well as the market share.
As the standard of living in India has increased the purchasing power of
the people as increased as well, so Nokia has to target right customer at
right time to gain the most out of the situation.

Threats:
Nokia has many threats to tackle to maintain its position as market
leader. The threats like emerging of other mobile companies in the
market. The companies like Motorola, Sony Eriksson, Cingular (U.S)
etc. these companies have come to the stand of tough competition with
Nokia in the field of Mobile Phones. Threats can be like providing cheap
phones, new features, new style and type, good after sales service etc.
So, Nokia has to keep in mind the growing competition around. Nokia
has to make strategies to tackle problems in the present and the near
future. The growing demand of WLL network can cause drop in sales for
Nokia, as Nokia provides many less CDMA phones to the customer.
