Fair point, but in a situation like this I can't help but draw parallels to overly used generalisations. My apologies too for generalising.

I guess my pov is a little fuelled by articles such as:

ofc the reg is the best place to formalise an unbiased view

After reading that article, I'm no longer surprised about all the delays releasing the N900. I'm actually left wondering how the N900 did make it to market, considering it was the first smartphone running a free operating system.

Some tidbits that left me pondering:

"To avoid catastrophic nominations no American or foreigner should be the CIO/CCO because Nokia product creation from innovations through concepting to design is very Finnish issue. [...] The CEO's role is to know how the machine runs, so nobody knows it better than a Nokia person."

Upsetting the Finnish way of doing thing would be catastrophic, [Juhani Risku] predicts.

"Americans bring in their own teams and it's a mess after two years."
Only six months passed since that article, ...and now Nokia has an American CEO, that not only brought his own team, but actually his whole company with him... It's like the board of directors read this interview and then decided to do exactly the opposite of what Risku advised, and then some..

Thanks for this link! ("Rescuing Nokia? A former exec has a radical plan - The Risku Manifesto - now in English")

There were some very interesting insights into the root causes behind Nokia's lack of competent strategies and inability to execute.

To think that only few months after this manifesto Nokia's dead wood board went and hired flop...

Actually it looks worse when you look at the past month. It's been hovering around 11 for most of the time. For a one day drop, that's pretty significant. Any company losing 18% of their stock value in a few hours is a pretty big deal.

I find it interesting that Elop is planning to lay off the "on-the-ground" people instead of chopping off the incompetent management that is killing Nokia.

It's an unbridled disaster and I'm ashamed that the Board of Directors have done this to a Finnish company. But what can you expect? They did to save themselves, so they can keep going on in their incompetent ways. They get to keep their jobs for a short while bleeding the company dry like the blood-sucking vampires they are.

Looks like a lot of good stuff was thrown down the pan or put out to grass and the competition enjoyed the rich pickings.

I wonder if Juhani Risku was the guy behind the "morph concept"?

To people who understand finnish, OPK radio interview from today.
http://areena.yle.fi/player/index.ph...78&language=fi

Strange hear him speak like average guy. Sadness, hubris and a peak at reality on top of mega-corporation. Recommend listening.
