This is very painful to hear that Microsoft has acquired Nokia, I cannot cry for them because they sold it for money anyway. For that being said, I love Nokia, I am their fan and most importantly my first Nokia phone was Nokia 1600. It fell inside hot afang soup soup and it was still ringing… long lasting battery life but today Nokia is now history.
During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO, Stephen Elop ended his speech saying, “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.
For me, I think their price tag on most of their mobile phone was too high.
Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful.
They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost
the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they miss the opportunity
to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.
The message of this story is, if you don’t change, you shall be removed from the competition.
Microsoft announced the purchase of Nokia’s phone assets in September 2013 — just weeks after Steve Ballmer said he would step down — and finalized the deal in April 2014.
The total purchase price ended up as approximately $7.9 billion, according to an April 2015 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Blackberry is about facing thesame situation and I wonder how their tears will be considering the facts that WhatsApp has already given them the deadliest blow to end WhatsApp on All Blackberry phones by 2016 ending.
It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time, you will be eliminated. Nokia is now history... Who is next?
