After reading the story behind MeeGo (http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego), I'm not sure you could really blame Elop for the steps he took. Nokia sounded like a disaster even before he came.
- bungle 14y agoWell, of course it was a disaster long before Elop. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be Elop in a first place. What happened after Elop, is how we should evaluate Elop. And that is really really sad tale. It's not something like "my strategy works, but the company refuses to follow that", type of a thing. It is just, that Elop has hurt Nokia so much more. It's not even funny anymore. It is really hard to understand why he is still allowed to continue. Probably he is, because all who had critic voices have already left the building or kicked out. Elop has hired his fellows in the company. And Elop also sits on Nokia's board. It's quite common situation these days. Weak board, strong management. Elop is a strong leader, but his decisions are horrible. There are no indication anywhere that shows that Elop has succeeded in something. He hasn't. It's a total disaster.
