LITERALLY, every nook and corner of the world,
young and old; everywhere the Nokia brand is
strongly etched on people’s heart. Perhaps this is
the only brand globally that everyone can
instantly recall. Invention and reinvention has all
along been the biggest driving force of the
company to attain this cult status for the last
one-and-half century.
The Finnish multinational company has a long
history of successful change and innovation,
adapting to shifts in markets and technologies.
From its humble beginning with one paper mill,
the company established itself in many sectors
over the time: cables, paper products, tires,
rubber boots, consumer and industrial electronics,
plastics, chemicals, telecommunications
infrastructure and more. In 1967, Nokia
Corporation was created to have five businesses:
rubber, cable, forestry, electronics and power
generation.
It first entered the telecommunications equipment
market in 1960 when an electronics department
was established at Finnish Cable Works to
concentrate on the production of radio-
transmission equipment. In 1982, Nokia
introduced the first fully-digital local telephone
exchange in Europe, and the world’s first car
phone. The first GSM call was made with a Nokia
phone over the Nokia-built network of a Finnish
operator called Radiolinja in 1991, and in the
same year Nokia won contracts to supply GSM
networks in other European countries. By 1998,
Nokia was the world leader in mobile phones, a
position it enjoyed for more than a decade.
In 2007, Nokia combined its telecoms
infrastructure operations with those of Siemens to
form a joint venture named Nokia Siemens
Networks (NSN). NSN became a leading global
provider of telecommunications infrastructure.
New Nokia and Vision.
In 2013, Nokia moved to make two transformative
transactions – purchased Siemens’ stake in NSN
and announced the sale of all of Nokia’s Devices
& Services business to Microsoft. Following the
closing of the devices business transaction in
2014, Nokia announced its new vision and
strategy, building on its three strong businesses –
Nokia Networks, HERE, and Nokia Technologies.
At the Capital Markets Day in London on Nov 14,
2014, the company outlined its vision: to expand
the human possibilities of technology. The
company’ strategic pillars now are: to accelerate
leadership in radio; to grow Professional Services;
to win in technology transition to Telco Cloud;
and target opportunities in Internet of Things and
data analytics.
The company has strategies in place for each
business, which have been aligned around a
common vision for Nokia.
