While Nokia, the worlds largest mobile phone manufacturers, still continues to occupy the top spot in three other regions such as Asia, Central & Eastern Europe and the Middle East & Africa. It can be concluded Samsung mastered most of the market share of developed countries, while the Nokia excels in developing countries.

The SWOT analysis provides information that is helpful in matching the firm's resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates.

Brand Awareness Technology leader in Manufacturing Mobiles Market leader Nokia with wide range of products for all classes. Presence across 150 countries

Not good at software Performance of Symbian OS is lackluster Increasing dissatisfaction level with its smart phones Nokia does not like to adopt change very quickly.

Huge loyal customer base Increase their presence in the CDMA market as well as in 3G. Leverage its infrastructure business to get preference and a stronger position Enter new emerging markets of the world

Rapidly changing industry Threat from strong competitors like Samsung, Sony, Apple as they are introducing strong strategies. Last to adopt 3G technology creates a risk to be displaced by leaders like Motorola, LG, and Samsung. Threat of entry from new players, Microsoft might enter smartphones market. Google has power of mobile operators just entered the market with Nexus One.

Political analysis
In Countries like India and China where Partial regulations exist, government intervention does take place. 3G technology constraints that Nokia have to take into consideration. Nokia has to consider the labour laws and its political implications.

Economic analysis
The demand for smartphones is elastic and hence any economic downturn might hamper the sales of the smartphones. Nokia has to change its function from single market to global market .

Social analysis
Nokia has been the member of united nations global compact since 2001. The Nokia Code of Conduct sets the approach to ethical and sustainable business practice and is based on the highest ethical standards.

Technological

analysis

They have to keep up to date with all the newest technological advances (like camera and motion capture phones) if they are going to capture the biggest market share and stay ahead of their competitors.

Porter's five forces model is a framework for industry analysis and business strategy.

Profitable markets that yield high returns will attract new firms. New entrants to an industry can raise the level of competition, thereby reducing its attractiveness. The profitability of Nokia Company in India has attracted many new competitors like Samsung, LG, etc.

The threat of substitute products depends on: - Buyers' willingness to substitute - The relative price and performance of substitutes - The costs of switching to substitutes

In mobile market the bargain power is high due to following reason: 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: This depends on the country and type of mobile plans provided by the service provider.

The bargaining power of suppliers is also described as the market of inputs. If the suppliers change the price then company in case Nokia has a direct impact on the pricing of their products.

The intensity of rivalry between competitors in an industry will depend on: Sustainable competitive advantage through innovation Competition between online and offline companies Level of advertising expense Powerful competitive strategy

Market penetration is the name given to a growth strategy where the business focuses on selling existing products into existing markets. The aim of market penetration is to sell existing products to an existing market, to do this Nokia must do a few things:

Change the pricing scheme (for example, penetration or competitor based) Introduce discounting Start up a different advertising campaign or consider changing an existing one.

Market development is the name given to a growth strategy where the business seeks to sell its existing products into new markets. To complete market development successfully, Nokia must look into the following: Researching and selling to a different market (in case of saturation or poor market share) Change times that television adverts are aired at and alter the places in which print adverts are being displayed (this can help your products appeal to a whole new market segmentation) Lower current prices to help the products appeal to a wider range of consumers.

Product development is the name given to a growth strategy where a business aims to introduce new products into existing markets. New Features in Current Markets Nokia joins forces with Microsoft Office Mobile to offer Microsoft software on Nokia Phones. Nokia Meego platform on the N900 A simple Operating system developed by Nokia and used on their N900 device.

Diversification is the name given to the growth strategy where a business markets new products in new markets. For a business to adopt a diversification strategy, therefore, it must have a clear idea about what it expects to gain from the strategy and an honest assessment of the risks.

NOKIA uses the price strategy which best suits the product Market penetration- Nokia 1100 Market skimming-N-95 Hence ,the strategy which was used for N-series and E-series was market skimming.

Nokia's current marketing strategy has helped them become the biggest selling brand in the communications market. but now sales are starting to decrease with the saturation of the current market segment so Nokia will need to do one of the following:Re-launch their products with an aggressive promotional scheme; Differentiate their products to offer something no other company can offer to the market. Target a different segment of the market that has not been entered. Nokia would develop new mobile phones that will be just equal to a mini laptop through this Nokia will regain its lost market share.
