My personal conspiracy theory is that Nokia was an orchestrated takedown by MS. Get a leader in there to tank its stock for an acquisition.
MS just shit the bed on the other side of it and failed to deliver a competitive-enough mobile platform.
- justsomehnguy 1y agoNokia were in a deep shi^W trouble way before Elop's memo. Sure, MS benefited greatly from this situation but Nokia was in the steady downhill since 2008.
- Zigurd 1y agoNokia had credible mobile OSs for modern phones. Windows Phone was not one.
- PaulHoule 1y agoYeah, we all know that a corrupt person in government is often sponsored by a corporation to rip off the government. I wonder if sometimes a corrupt person is put into leadership at Corporation A who is really on the take from Corporation B with the job of wrecking a competitor.
- Not4Hire 1y agothis does happen: Imagine company B poached staff from A, presumaby for'insights' into company A IP, which had nothing to do with costly decisions and some missteps of unknown causes whereafter A os still in business and B? not so much. seems like a plotline by Sun Tsu
- happycube 1y agoRemember too that from the Nokia board POV selling the phone division to MS was a $1B+ dollar exit.
