 Choice of Market
Nokia should continue to dominate in the emerging markets i.e.
follow Transnational strategy
Looking at the operating profits, we can see a decline in the operating
profits from the year 2007
iPhone was launched in the year 2007 and Samsung also acquired 2nd
position by the same year

 Choice of Market
Looking at the projection of
sales of mobile devices in
various regions, one can
observe a 45.38% share in
Asia-Pacific region
Also, almost 9.5% share is
in the Latin America region
Emerging market seems to
be playing field for device
manufacturers
But the 36% of the sales in
emerged economies cant
be ignored
Pattern of technologies in
emerged and emerging
economies varies and as a Projection of sales in different regions
result of which Nokia has to
follow different strategy
 Market Approaches

Enhanced and smart phones

should be focussed
Developed Since it is a replacement market
Will help them to understand
markets latest technologies
Focus on services & 3rd party
applications

Basic and enhanced phones

should be focussed
Developing Price should be reduced based on
the reduced supply chain cost
markets Offer enhanced phones at the
price of basic phones
Core Competencies
 Scope of Activities
One of the sustainable core competencies for
Nokia
Manufacturing Nokia should retain the manufacturing capabilities
in order to maintain cost leadership in the
emerging markets

Focus on market research

Focus on making the phones more user- friendly
R&D R&D for basic phones & enhanced phones to
capture the emerging markets

Tie ups with application developers

Software Third party application accessibility

Marketing of product & additional services as a
complete package is important
