Late y'day came across this news clip claiming to be an internal memo from Elop, Nokia's new CEO. Thought to make a quick analysis and add some comments on it, too add further to the rumours. :-)
I have been watching the smartphone market for almost a year now and my few cents based on what I have understood:
There are a few factual errors in this like mrkt share etc; is not really a memo but an internal blog (based on comments from the Internet, e.g. Tomi Ahonen's blog comments) which puts certain trends in place than being pixel perfect (typical of a blog); apart from showcasing to its own employees on how Nokia could capitalise better on its strengths and the ecosystem it has built up (Qt-Meego-Ovi).
The blog is surely aggressive and there are pros and cons of putting such a thought; the worst case causing panic reactions from the employees. On the other hand, hardcore Nokians would use this as an opportunity to embrace change and be more competitive to its changes faces and become even more competitive. I do believe that competent people are less averse to changes and is willing to change themselves for the better than average joe's or mediocres.
I believe Nokia's QT-Meego-Ovi strategy is strong and is capable of challenging any ecosystem that is being put in this blog. However, the reality is that Nokia has failed to move ahead of the market and has little choice but to embrace change more aggressively than to be in a state of denial if that means even to dump its old strategies. May be the CEO's effort is merely to equip his troup to be ready for a change. We will know more on Feb 11th. :-)
What do you think?
