It has been chosen for exploring a case related to the fall
of Nokia, which was the market leader in mobile
telephones, and analyzing factors that led to an
unsuccessful ending to a journey of dominance. (Vidani,
2015)This company had already turned into the
synonym of mobile innovation, similar to iconic
products like the Nokia 3310, at the start of the 2000s.
(Vidani & Solanki, 2015) At least, however, client
expectations suddenly changed, and new technology
came along in the form of the iPhone and Android,
causing a dramatic shift in changing consumer
expectations. (Vidani, 2015)This was partly due to its
unwillingness to adjust to this shift, and also by failing
to innovate in its Symbian operating systems-though
innovation alone may not have overcome the problem
posed by the proliferation of smart phones.Things only
got worse because of strategic mistakes, such as weak
leadership and inability to adapt rapidly in response to
new market sentiment. (Vidani, 2015)It never managed
to revive itself in the market from a series of attempts at
recovery through alliances, most notably with
Microsoft, and then by releasing its Lumia smartphone
line. All this came together to send its market share
plummeting and eventually saw the selling of its mobile
division to Microsoft in 2014. (Vidani, 2015)This case
study extracts from Nokia important lessons on
innovation, adaptability, and market awareness driving
technology-based industries. (Solanki & Vidani, 2016) A
review of Nokia's journey will illustrate the
consequences from complacency and why firms cannot
remain nonresponsive to shifting consumer needs and
competitive environments. (Vidani, 2016)In this
analytical account, the story of Nokia is in a sense a kind
of cautionary lesson for other firms navigating the
constantly and rapidly shifting technology ecosystem
