Another
big star disappeared again. MSN took over Nokia and released a new brand,
Microsoft Mobile, not using the original name of Nokia.
Yesterday’s no.1 is not
today’s number one. Even though someone is doing well at school, the person
will not be always successful in our society.
The number one brand’s collapse will
change a mobile company to a software development one. Motorola and Nokia
became affiliated with Microsoft Inc…. There are only Samsung and LG left.
I
read a book, ‘Good to great,’ written by James C. Collins, and I have been
inspired by a great company’s success story for a long time.
However, the
financial crisis started in Wall Street in 2008, and several firm companies,
such as Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, and Freddy MAC failed in a
second or received the bailout money.
James C. Collins might be surprised at
this situation because he didn’t expect that successful businesses from a good
company to a great one were sold or dismembered at any moment. Nonetheless, he
published a new book, ‘How the mighty fall?’ in 2010 and set out his logical
argument that the number one businesses are likely to fail.
I can’t say that
Collins misjudged or had a wrong insight into this. In fact, how did he know
that the great businesses changed into an insignificant one?
He said again, ‘whether
to drive on without a stop or not, to fail or succeed, and to lead for a long
time or ruin depends on itself, not on the surrounding environment. I can’t criticize
Nokia’s foolish strategy.
In some points, Nokia rightly judged the situation.
MS might build up the better foundation to run a mobile business than Nokia has
with the rapidly changing times. However, Nokia dreams of establishing a new
business with money from a business sale.
They want to change a mobile company
into a software development enterprise.
It is true that the rich can be
well-off for at least three years even though they go down.
