Perseverance, Inspiration and Motivation have always played a key role in the success of
any venture. Working on this project was a challenge. It is often difficult to understand
wide spectrum of knowledge without proper guidance and advice.
I wish to express my gratitude to Mr Yogesh Chauhan Sir who assigned me this project.
He has been constant source of guidance and encouragement in exploring the nuances of
the project. He took special interest in the study and gave me his guidance and pertinent

OBJECTIVES
INTRODUCTION
Nokia is a world leader in mobile communications, driving
the growth and sustainability of the broader mobility
industry. Nokia connects people to each other and the
information that matters to them with easy-to-use and
innovative products like mobile phones, devices and
solutions for imaging, games, media and businesses. Nokia
provides equipment, solutions and services for network
operators and corporations. Nokia is a broadly held company
with listings on four major exchanges.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF
NOKIA
NOKIA was established in 1865 as a wood-pulp mill by Knut
Fredrik Idestam on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids in
the town of Tampere, in south-western Finland. The company
was later relocated to the town of Nokia by the Nokianvirta
river, which had better resources for hydropower production.
That is where the company got the name that it still uses
today. The name Nokia originated from the river which
flowed through the town. The river itself, Nokianvirta, was
named after the old Finnish word originally meaning a dark,
furry animal that was locally known as the nokia, or sable, or
later pine marten.
Finnish Rubber Works established its factories in the
beginning of 20th century nearby and began using Nokia as
its brand. Shortly after World War I, Finnish Rubber Works
acquired Nokia Wood Mills as well as Finnish Cable Works,
a producer of telephone and telegraph cables. These three
companies were merged to form Nokia Corporation in 1967.
The new company was involved in many sectors, producing
at one time or another paper products, bicycle and car tires,
footwear (including Wellington boots), personal computers,
communications cables, televisions, electricity generation
machinery, capacitors, aluminium, etc.
The first Nokia century began with Fredrik Idestam's paper
mill on the banks of the Nokianvirta river. Between 1865 and
1967, the company would become a major industrial force;
but it took a merger with a cable company and a rubber firm
to set the new Nokia Corporation on the path to electronics...
2007
Nokia recognized as 5th most valued brand in the world.
Nokia Siemens Networks commences operations. Nokia
launches Ovi, its new internet services brand.
2008
Nokia's three mobile device business groups and the
supporting horizontal groups are replaced by an integrated
business segment, Devices & Services.
STRUCTURE OF NOKIA
The Devices unit is responsible for developing and managing
our mobile device portfolio, including the sourcing of
components.

PEST ANALYSIS
Nokia, is an international organisation which requires to
focus on macro environmental factors. Macro Environmental
factors comprise Political, Economical, Society and
Technology, viz., PEST Analysis. In view of the different
culture and different external factors between different
countries, Nokia has to adjust its strategic plan in order to
develop international market.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Ericsson, which had been in the cellular phone market for
decades, decided to divest this business in 2001 following
huge losses. Ericsson had decided to source on chips for its
phones from a single source, a Philips facility in New
Mexico. In March 2000 a fire at the Philips factory
contaminated the sterile facility. Philips assured Ericsson and
Nokia (the other major customer of the facility) that
production would be delayed by less than a week. When it
became clear that production would actually be compromised
for months, Ericsson was faced with a serious shortage.
COMPARISION BETWEEN NOKIA N73, SAMSUNG
D900, SONY ERICSSON K800 CAMERA PHONE
Introduction
Even from the thumbnails you can see the different color
reproduction from the two photo mobiles. Neither of the
phones is spot-on, but the real poster looks closer to what
Nokia N95 shows. Sony Ericsson auto mode chooses 1/30
sec and ISO 64, which is a good choice, while the Nokia
strangely prefers to shoot at 1/111 sec and ISO 200. No idea
why N95 needed the ISO boost.
Bear in mind that the ISO and the shutter speed are the
single two elements that determine the amount of light that is
to be captured, when you have a fixed aperture size. A slower
shutter speed allows more light to reach to the matrix. A
higher ISO makes the matrix more sensitive to the light that
comes in. However it's a really fine balance between these
two, since the higher the ISO is, the more noise there is on
the image. The slower the shutter speed, the more likely you
are to get a blurry picture due to camera shake. The camera
software has to balance those two in the best possible way to
avoid both blurring and noise. Sometimes one is taken care
of at the expense of the other - it's up to the camera to decide,
really.
Nokia N95 kept the ISO 200, just slowing the shutter to 1/17
sec. K850 used even slower shutter - 1/10 sec and increasing
the ISO to 125. Note, that with shutter speeds like this you
will usually end with unusable photos, because of the motion
blur. Anyway, here Nokia is a clear winner, not much to
explain.

You
can be assured of the quality that Nokia provides in your
phone hardware. The circuits are far more durable and
reliable than any of the other mobile phone available in
the market. I am using a single Nokia phone for 6 years
and I had to take it to the service centre only once during
this period for a trivial problem. That speaks for the truth I
am talking about.
3. Battery
4. Robustness
Everyone knows that Nokia mobiles are truly rock solid. I
want to share my experience with respect to this. I
dropped my Nokia the very next day I bought it. I dropped
it on the staircase and it bounced to nearly 12 steps down.
My heart pumped out with the fear of losing the phone on
the second day. But what I found when I reached
downstairs is that the phone is fully functional and it only
had a few scratch in its body. Since then, it slipped off my
hand many a times but it did not refuse to function.
Thanks to Nokia for making such rugged phones. It would
really be the worst thing if I had to take my phone to
service centre or had to buy a new one every time I
dropped my phone.
7. Reliability
Nokia really has become a brand that people can trust
upon. The error rates or crash rates of Nokia phones are
very low. It will not dump you when you need this phone.
And petty may this be but still, Nokia has this trust thing
going in favour of it. People can blindly trust Nokia in
Asian Countries. and not to mention, Nokia has
deservingly earned this place.
8. Price
9. Experience
Nokia is the largest cellphone manufacturer in the world
with about 40% of market share with its competitors
nowhere near its sales volume. They know the world of
mobile phone more than any other. They have ages of
experience, hundreds of success stories and dozens of
smart handsets in current portfolio. That helps them to
evolve and thereby nourish our needs.

The above table shows the means of responses for all the four
options. Thus Just making and receiving calls scores 4.52 on
a scale of 1-5 ( 5-most likely), thereby showing that it is one
the most important reason to own a handset. Then mobile
phone being a status symbol could score only a mean of 3.58
thereby exposing the naked psyche of the Indian Consumers.
Similarly, having a mobile for other features as sms, camera,
fm, etc could score only 3.76 thus showing that its not the
main reason of having a mobile. A combination of all the
above reasons scores a good 4.18 mean thus showing the
inclination of the consumers towards all the above reasons.
