Nokia Project

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 leading brand presence in many local markets, and business has expanded considerably in all areas to support customer needs and the growth of the telecommunications industry in the region. Nokia's regional corporate headquarters is located at Alexandra Technopark in Singapore. As the regional hub for Nokia, it is a base from which over 700 staff provide leading-edge technology, product and solutions support to the 20 diverse markets and Nokia offices in the Asia Pacific. Nokia's regional treasury center - Nokia Treasury Asia - operates out of Singapore as an in-house bank for Nokia subsidiaries in the Asia Pacific region, while Nokia Research Centre - the corporate research unit - has offices in Japan and China. Nokia also manufactures products out of three major facilities in Masan, Korea, and Beijing and Dongguan in China. As of January 2004, Nokia streamlined its global organizational structure to strengthen its focus on convergence, new mobility markets and growth. To address emerging new business areas in the Mobility era while continuing to

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. Functionality: •

Quality

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.

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.
