OPPORTUNITIES

THREAT
 Rapidly changing industry  Threat of entry from new players

PORTERS FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

Threat of entry Huge capital requirements: manufacturing costs, R&D costs, constant push to innovate and launch new products. Product differentiation(low): will become successful unless they are differentiated from its competitors. Economies of scale: fixed cost is high, so economies of scale have to be achieved to increase profit margin. Government and legal barriers: mobile industry is heavily regulated.

Conti....
Supplier power:
 Software provider: There are so many open mobile operating system

provider, options are plenty and hence the bargaining power of the software provider is low.

 Hardware provider: there are so many suppliers for hardware

component too and hence the bargaining power of hardware providers is also low.

Rivalry:
 Rivalry is intense among existing players.  The differentiation in terms of product features is getting diminished; however players are continuing to differentiate their products in terms of application and service offered.

Conti....
Substitutes:
 The power of substitutes is moderate and it actually depends on the impact of substitute products.

Buyer power:
Buyers bargaining power is high because of the following reasons:  More choice of products and very limited differentiation of those products  Elastic demand- demand is highly sensitive to economy buyers can delay buying new models  Less asymmetric information- buyers have all the required information  Less switching costs

Nokia considers India as one of the most important markets for its future growth.  Stiff competition in the recent years from Korean players like Samsung and LG.  average production capacity of manufacturing unit of Nokia is around 20 million units.

Nokia - 2005
One, that its strategies - including ones like developing a phone specifically for India - are respected. In 2005, Nokia was recognized as the 'Brand of the Year (Confederation of Indian Industry, India's apex industry association)

The Indian Mobile Phones Industry

 Slow start in India in 1995  Several private players exited in the next few years due to the

Unfriendly telecom policies High licensing fees Absence of a proper telecom regulatory body. In 1999-New telecom policy. This policy planned to provide telephones on demand by 2002.

Conti...
 Among other things, the policy allowed unrestricted private entry into almost all mobile service sectors.  The government allowed cellular mobile service providers to share infrastructure with other operators.

Helped many private operators to break even faster  The first ever GSM call in India was made on a Nokia 2110 mobile phone on its own network in 1995

Reframing Of Strategies
 Nokia was quick to learn from its mistakes and adopted strategies to regain its lost market share.  The company's sales reached 7.4 billion Euros, with the company selling 54 million phones during the period.  Nokia continued its leadership in GSM with a market share of 74% in March 2005.  Nokia also surpassed Samsung in color mobiles in the GSM segment, recording a share of 55% in the same month.

Multi Media Division

Nokia reorganized itself at the global level in 2004. At this point, a multimedia division was formed.  The division's Indian operations -promoting the concept of high-end phones in smaller towns while going in for higher volumes in larger cities.  The marketing division of the company concentrated on making distributors in small towns sell high-end products.

The Future Prospects

According to industry analysts, by 2010, the mobile phones industry in India will be driven by  voice,  multimedia  mobile services for organizations. The teledensity to18.2% by 2010.  with mobile subscription rising to 148.77 million by that time.

Conti...
 Cell phone has become the only basic telephone link of a household/enterprise in India, rather than a landline phone.  It was turning out to be more economical and efficient than fixed line telephones. Great scope for further expansion with reduction in the cost of ownership...
