Nokia's failure to turn a huge investment in R&D into a smartphone before competitors
01/24/2008
Nokia's investment in R&D over the last decade exceeds that of Apple and Google. Yet the company blundered into a failure to invest this money effectively to stay ahead in new products like the smartphone that would eventually take over the market. At critical junctures Nokia decided to focus on ite existing strengths and not prepare for changing technologies that would upend the marketplace. Organizational dysfunction and slow decisionmaking compounded the process. Too much of the emphasis was on pure R&D without a focus on new exciting products with newer technologies.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
