A staggeringly in-depth study of a fascinating company
There is no doubt that Nokia has grown from a small Finnish firm into the worldwide leader in cellular and mobile communication technology.How did the firm accomplish this revolution?In this book, Dan, Steinbock, answers this question by tracing the history of Nokia.Looking at the steps Nokia took, including the missteps, the author accurately traces both huge successes, and mistakes.More importantly the author shows how Nokia learned from its mistakes and came back from each misstep stronger.The author hits on some key factors that make Nokia such a strong firm:
NOKIA -- More Cameras than KODAK in the World....
Read this book because Nokia is not just a cell phone producer but also a leader in R&D and interface design and yes, they now sell more cameras than Kodak in the world. I should know because I write about this field for imediaconnection.com and this is a book that is definitely on my shelf. Hard to understand how this company not only influenced a country --but also a generation and a world of new media and technology. TV2Go--, games, 3G and more -- it's all on the horizon-- the surf is about to roar in-- make sure you're prepared for the next generation of devices, handhelds and mobile. read this book.

Heavy book and heavy reading
The book is very well written and gives a nice detailed background of Nokia. The book is however very hard to read since you have to look acronyms up and all the time divert your attention from the text too look at the many graphs. It is not a smooth read but the content of the book is very good and well documented.
