Nokia Mobile Phones: Troubled Leadership
The Finnish conglomerate have long been ruling the roost of the mobile scene not in any particular country or region, but the whole world. Nokia as a company probably enjoys more brand loyalty than any other mobile brand present today. The two major factors that lead to the immense popularity of Nokia mobile phones are easy handling and better network reception.
During the initial stage of mobile boom, the easy to use Nokia handset had a definite edge over its rivals which were comparatively complicated. Moreover, navigation of almost all Nokia handsets were the same so people don’t find any hassle in changing one Nokia to another. This lead to the enviable brand loyalty towards Nokia specially among the higher aged groups of mobile users.
But as the market got matured and people started to get accustomed with the different functions, other players in the market came up very strongly with handsets equipped with better features and importantly, at a lesser price than Nokia handsets. But these competitions didn’t pose any serious threat to Nokia’s position as global leader with more than a lion’s share of the total mobile market.
The rapid shift of today’s customer focus from easy interface towards new and enhanced features have made Nokia loose atleast some of its sheen. New Symbian Operating system used in Nokia handsets is far from the best software platform. The R & D department of Nokia are yet to come up with a software free from bugs. Almost all Nokia phones today have a lag of around 1 second which can get frustrating sometimes. The Symbian media player of the most advanced Nokia smartphones can be best compared to Sony Ericsson’s media player Walkman 1.0. But the later have came up with a even upgraded version – Walkman 2.0.
Despite these drawbacks, Nokia still have managed to come up with highly popular, target specific handsets, like N series for multimedia, E series for business and L’Amour collection as fashion solution.

Bbg Communications : Communications in India
In 1975, India’s Department of Telecom was separated from P&T. Until 1985, DoT had all telecommunication services in the country under its management. It ceased to be when Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited was taken out of DoT’s wing. MTNL in turn administered the telecommunication services of Delhi and Mumbai.
The telecommunications sector entered into a massive liberalization and privatization program starting the 1990s. This necessitated the separation of the government’s policy making roles with that of its operational functions. The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01, 2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited. Many private operators entered the high potential Indian telecommunications market. Among them are big names such as Reliance India Mobile, Tata Telecom, Vodafone, BPL, Bharti, and Idea, among others.
The Indian government had a hard time reconciling various views with regards to the liberalization of the telecommunications sector in the country. Some of the political leaders were willing to throw open the market to foreign players and some others wanted the government to regulate infrastructure and restrict the involvement of foreign players. But, a consensus was made which paved the way for the 1981 contract signing of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi with Alcatel CIT of France to merge with the state owned Telecom Company. The projection for this joint venture was the setting up of 5,000,000 lines per year.
But not long after, political pressures grew that despite of the efforts of PM Gandhi, one of which was an invitation she extended to Sam Pitroda a US based NRI to set up a Center for Development of Telematics, plans for liberalization had to be shelved.
Later, under the leadership of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, many public sector organizations were set up like the Department of Telecommunications, VSNL and MTNL. Many technological developments took place during his term but the country’s telecommunications business was still heavily working on a protectionist framework.
And yet the demand for telephones has been on the rise. It was during this period that the P.M. Rao led government introduced the national telecommunications policy in 1994. Changes in the areas of ownership, service and regulation of telecommunications infrastructure were in place. Where previous joint ventures failed between state owned telecommunications companies and international players, this time, it was all systems go. But still complete ownership of facilities was restricted only to government-owned organizations.
Foreign firms were allowed only ownership of up to 49% of the total stake, which represents mostly their contribution in technology transfer.
During this period, recommendations from the World Bank and the ITU pushed for the liberalization of India’s long distance services, which consequently released the monopoly of the state owned DoT and VSNL and opened the field to other players.
The Rao-led government indeed implemented liberalization but not according to the WB-ITU’s recommendations. Instead, the country’s local services was the target of liberalization efforts, which was a good way too in taking the opposition’s confidence while not alienating foreign telecoms involvement. It promised that long distance phone liberalization will follow after 5 years.

How to Tackle the Strategic Change in Business
Due to apparent complexity of the strategic changes business,
many good operational managers get paralyzed that is coupled
with everyday pressure of keeping the business running.
Strategic changes mainly occurs when a crucial activity in
favour of thrusting leadership and rigorous movement gets no
attention in a business.Then how will the operational managers
tackle the strategic changes in the business?How will they sky
high their business?How will they manage the dual roles of a
manager and a leader?
The answer is ‘adoptation’. Adopting new ways of thinking
in advance of new ways of working in a business. If the four
key skills of the operational managers are mastered,it will
help you to make those first tentative step towards the
Boardroom.There are four foundational skills which are useful
for your business to soar high.They are:-
Dual focus.
Involving communication.
Collaboration.
Professional effectiveness.
Dual focus:- Commonly heard complaint from the board member
as they review the next generation of talent in their
business is that,’they do not think strategically’. Focus
on the ’5Ws’like who, when, where, why, and what? when
encountering new issues, initiative or proposal.
Involving communications:- When asked the reasons of the
failure of the previous change project more than 90% cite
poor communication.Analysis reveals that most of the change
project has been accompanied by a communication plan but
problem continued. This was due to the propensity to look
inward and not outward when developing their plans.
Collaboration:- “stay close to your allies and even closer
to your enemies” is an important phrase followed by most
of the operational managers.In the context of business
managing strategic give a thought to anyone who has
something to lose in the process as your ‘enemy’, and
seek out ways for head start. This is not the act of
compromising but finding ways for both the party to win.
Treat your enemy with respect and anticipate their likely
responses to your strategy and create your plans to either
reduce the impact of their reactions or eliminate it
altogether.With the right strategic glasses on, your enemy
can become your window opportunity and potentially a long
term ally.Professionally effectiveness:-look around your
organization and particularly at Board level and ask
question as who is the best professional and why? Compare
yourself with the other professional and spot the areas
which need focusing and balancing this with more ego-
centric exercise with several question like what you want
out of life and what you are prepared to give ?
think collboration and how can you collaborate with your
organization to devise a role or a working framework that
meets your needs whilst making a valued contribution to
the business strategy.
