POSITIONING & REPOSITIONING OF NOKIA
The story behind the evolution of mobile manufacturing mammoth Nokia will definitely be a surprise to many people.Nokia started its business as a paper producing mill.It was set up by Fredrik Idestam who built a wood pulp mill on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids, in southern Finland in the year 1865.Later on, he built a second mill by the Nokianvirta river and from this place Nokia gets its name. It was a great success. Idestam’s invention won a bronze medal at the Paris World Exposition in 1867, and he is considered to be the father of Finland’s paper industry. Those were the days when there was a strong demand for paper in the industry, the company’s sales acheived its high-stakes and Nokia grew faster and faster. The Nokia exported paper to Russia first and then to the United Kingdom and France.
Nokia got merged with Finnish Rubber Works, a manufacturer a Rubber goods and started selling goods under the brand name on Nokia.It also acquired a major part of the Finnish Cable Works shares to utilize the growing power transmission and telegraph and telephone network market. In 1967, all the 3 companies Nokia Ab, Finnish Rubber Works and Finnish Cable merged-up to form the Nokia Corporation.This was the era when Nokia positioned itself as a consumer electronics producer.This was the time the Nokia was trying to get hold of the telecommunications sector.
This era started with a joint venture between Nokia and leading Finnish television maker Salora., named Mobira Oy which is a Radio telephone company.With the deregulation of European Telecommunication market a new era for mobile phones began.It witnessed the launch of the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) service in 1981 followed by the invention of The Nokia DX200 in 1982.NMT became tthe world’s first international cellular network.It was also the first to allow international roaming, and caught on fast both inside and outside Europe. Nokia successfully developed the digital switch (Nokia DX 200) thereby replacing the prior electro mechanical analog switch. The Nokia DX 200 was embedded with high-level computer language as well as Intel microprocessors which in turn allowed computer-controlled telephone exchanges to be on the top and which is till date the basis for Nokia’s network infrastructure.Nokia soon introduced the first car phones:The Mobira 450 to the network.Later on it also launched its portable version Mobira Talkman.To overcome the problem of bulkyness it came with Mobira Cityman:the first handheld mobile phone for NMT networks and a model that became a classic.
