Diversity in mobile phones and services
offered.
The Services division operates in five areas of
consumer Internet services: music, maps,
media, messaging and games
No matter if it’s business or normal type of
mobile model, it’s characterized by high
robustness and quality. Used materials vary
but quality is sustained.
Nokia produce high variety of mobile phones
and also they’re produced in high amount
which is connected with big popularity of
Nokia phones in the market.
As well as mobile phones Nokia together with
Simens produces core and access network
equipment for mobile operators.
Because of high amount of expenses in
Finland, huge part of Nokia facilities were
moved to other countries. Especially we need
to mention rapidly developing countries such
as China, Brasil, Russia or India (BRIC
countries)
Searching for new places to produce phones
with lower cost than in Finland, Nokia
decided to open their production facilities in
countries such as Mexico, Korea, Brazil or
China (“Companies go where the market is”)
Moreover Nokia has decentralized R&D in 11
countries
A flat, networked organization, as well as speed
and flexibility in decision-making, characterize
the Nokia Way of working.
Nokia has a distinctive management and
leadership approach based on the Nokia Way at
all levels. This creates commitment, passion and
inspiration through collaboration and coaching,
and ensures focus and efficiency by setting
targets, fulfilling goals and reviewing results.
Personal growth through self-leadership provides
the foundation for successful management and
leadership practice

Production is moving to low-cost labour countries like
Taiwan or Vietnam.
Nokia developed a comprehensive set of global Nokia
Supplier Requirements (NSR), which include specified
environmental and social requirements
If Nokia finds a supplier is not meeting Nokia's
expectations, Nokia compel them to commit to and
implement corrective action. This is the best solution
for the supplier, for Nokia, for the workers, and for
the environment. In practice, suppliers have generally
reacted positively and seen this as a way to improve
their business. However, if a supplier were to refuse
to address any of these issues Nokia would be
prepared to reconsider our business relationship.
