sending out a message to the finnish people that they apparantly arent good enough to be on the top ...or maybe the company just got infiltrated :-(
It's a global corporation - deal with it. Global organisations choose the best people for a job based on ability, not nationality - Finns shouldn't be given preferential treatment, that would be classed as positive discrimination (which is illegal in many European countries) and it's this positively stupid employment tactic that has basically taken Nokia to the brink. Nokia when run by Finns is not good enough in the current market, that's a cast iron fact - no infiltration required, the Finns dropped the ball, nobody else.

More Finns should be removed from upper management within Nokia and if they are replaced by non-Finns it will almost certainly result in the quality bar being raised immeasurably.

Why the head of Design is a Finn I have no idea, what the hell have Finns ever designed? It all started going wrong with Nokia product designs when Frank Nuovo (an American, the head of Nokias Global Design team) left the company in 2006 to be replaced by... a Finn who knows nothing about product design. Rinse and repeat in pretty much every critical area of Nokia upper management.
