Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.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.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.Conclusion:
1. The advantage you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow. You don’t have to do anything wrong, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can lose out and fail.

  1. To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded.

Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard & expensive way. 


I am a big fan of Nokia phones and i still believe that one day they will come up with some better invention for people, they ever imagined. But unfortunately i can see there is a lack of motivation for the Nokia in current competition.

its just an hypothesis but I'd love to see an upcoming upgrade of Nokia phones with there own OS , Which can stand against IOS.  

Sort:  

At one time Nokia was the market leader in phones, just shows that you have to keep on your game if you want to stay at the top. Problem is too many companies become complacent.
