Nobody is owed anything in the media circuit. They're (media) there to spread opinion and bias for the last decade. Your media in EU is as opinionated as the Gizmodo's and Engadget's are in the US.

Face it. The only way to catch a break in the global media is to actually produce something with as coherent of a message as your public image (marketing and CEO statements) are. So this new CEO, he'll be judged alongside the company on what they deliver and how the company performs.

Media doesn't care about European needs/wants on the economical side. They're out to basically out-tabloid every single tabloid we grew up laughing at in grocery store aisles (US reference here, so whatever food market, food cave or vegetable valhalla exists in Eurotopia, so be it).

Incidentally, I do not think we can compare large companies with small start-up company when it comes to CEO changes.
Disagree. It's still a business that's seen only as strong as the head of the company is regarded in their industry. CEO says smart things, people will value that company. CEO says stupid things, that product better perform well to offset that CEO. CEO says really stupid things and their product doesn't deliver, we're counting down (like Dave999) to their demise.

That's the nature of things right now unfortunately.

But if you do a "comparison" so one wonders how the hell Stephen Elop can remain in the Nokia Board...
Because Nokia placed themselves in a very bad position only to now be positioned under Microsoft (literally, figuratively, perhaps even sexually) and despite all of the "it was selling better than X in 2XXX, well, **** was weak enough for somebody to come in and say that it was going to end, point to something that that very same Board of Directors allows Elop to stay and Windows Phone as a platform to languish, garner no real support and flounder much like Windows 8 is currently doing in that market.

Simply stated, Nokia ****ed themselves. The rest, you can argue until you turn blue or switch languages. But it happened.

...is much more remarkable than that Jolla CEO changed twice ... Jolla has from the outset indicated that they will replace CEO during the "start-up" phase
Read above. All companies are valued by their CEO. Jolla knows this; thus the comparisons to bigger companies will continue. They're showing that they are at least learning from the big companies. Let's see if they deliver like one.
