While I agree with most things you said, I don't agree that nokia has no chances in pivoting. They've got good engineers and they can start a new brand with a fresh new approach to products.

Why do they have good engineers? Surely even people internal of Nokia are aware their products have been shockingly poor for the past few years? Why would you stay?

  Because there isn't really anyone to defect to in Finland? Just to get a sense for the dominance of Nokia in the Finish economy – Nokia is a full quarter of Finland's GDP.

      Sure, but if you're asking, "Why wouldn't they leave?" for a lot of folks, "I'd get to work on more interesting projects" doesn't trump, "I'd have to move my family to a different country."

    Nokia accounts for about 1.6% percent of .fi GDP. http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/htimes/domestic-news/business/10998-nokias-share-of-finnish-gdp-down-to-16-per-cent-etla-.html http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/htimes/domestic-news/business/10... Also, I don't think Nokia currently attracts the best and the brightest around here, or has for some time.

      I wonder how the number sited there is calculated. Nokia's 2010 revenues were $58 billion, whereas the Finish GDP was $240 billion.
