Originally published in early November, i am re releasing this post , which serves as an addendum to the first part on Nokia Oyj.
I shared my thoughts on the SWOT analysis of Nokia, which has been featured in my earlier blog with a friend of mine. His additions to the list of weaknesses are as follows:1. Understanding of business models is a threat -- Nokia thinks of monetizing first, Google builds scale first and then monetizes . Web 2.0 is all about mostly free services2. Being device lead is a threat in itself3. There is no culture of innovation - and there is no localization. Google creates nimble products for each market4. Current implementation of EMS is not a strength.I would agree wholly to Points 2,3 and 4. There are weaknesses in the system that do not enable Nokia to be a swift and nimble entity. Instead there are organizational layers. What ever and how ever one sees it, points 2,3,4 are somewhat beyond question in terms of weaknesses.As far as the business models (point 1) is concerned, i think it is debatable.
