nokia has been continuously losing market share in both their high end and low end products. if microsoft is in a better position, it could be accretive for microsoft to buy nokia to support microsoft's flailing mobile division.
stephen elop's only hope is for nokia's vertu sales to remain high.
- antimarketing 15y agoI swear, elop is the most unpopular man in Finland. If not for U.S military might Finland would declare a war because of what he has done to their national crown jewel.
- izend 15y agoThat sentiment is a little short-sighted... Its equivalent to blaming Obama for the poor economy a year into his term. Nokia was on the path of failure long before Elop arrived.
- Geee 15y agoElop's statements about current products have been really stupid, and that has really hurt sales. Why announce two platforms 'dead' when there's clear path forward for both of them, and now we have seen major updates and announcements for them?
- iloveponies 15y agoExcept for the fact that Elop is a Canadian citizen born in Ontario.
- toyg 15y agoOne could argue that his corporate culture (cough-handlers-cough) is really American (cough-Microsoft-cough).
- CurtHagenlocher 15y agoExcept that he was at Microsoft less than three years...
