Course Description
Stephen Elop, 

CEO Nokia 2011
New Technology 2018 Lecture L01 Introduction
In 2002 Nokia had 35% of
the worlds mobile market
In 2006 Nokia had 73.6% of the 

worlds smartphone market
Falling from glory
Nokia stock price 2007-2011
1871: Founded. Spends the next century making tyres, boots and
cables.

1987: Launches first phone. The Mobira Cityman weighs almost 1kg.

1992: Sells non-mobile divisions and launches first digital GSM
phone, the Nokia 1011.

2000: Stock market value hits 186bn euros. Now worth 11bn euros.

2003: Basic 1100 phone launched. Goes on to sell 250 million units
and become the world's most popular consumer electronic device.

2011: Abandons Symbian mobile phone operating software and
switches to the Windows platform instead.

Early 2011, Elop said 

in a memo they were 

standing on a 

burning platform
How did we get to this point? Why did we fall behind when the world
around us evolved?

This is what I have been trying to understand. I believe at least some
of it has been due to our attitude inside Nokia. We poured gasoline on
our own burning platform. I believe we have lacked accountability and
leadership to align and direct the company through these disruptive
times. We had a series of misses. We haven't been delivering
innovation fast enough. We're not collaborating internally.

Nokia, our platform is burning.

February 11th 2011, Nokia announced 

a partnership with Microsoft
September 3rd 2013, Microsoft bought Nokia’s Devices

and service business for $7.2 billion
Is this new…?
Western Union 1878
7,500 offices
12.000 employees
200,000 miles of cable

Alexander G. Bell, 1876
"This 'telephone' has too many
shortcomings to be seriously considered as
a means of communication. The device is
inherently of no value to us."
- Western Union internal memo, 1876.
AT&T became dominant in US
communications - split up in 1982
Actually this is not even rare…
Britannica 1990

Taken from Mary Meeker’s State of the Internet
Printed books, sold in stores Online, access everywhere, 

updated in real-time, 

crowdsourced
THEN NOW
And again…
In January 2010, Blockbuster 

operated 5,200 stores worldwide
By September 2010, Blockbuster 

files for bankruptcy
New Technology 2018 Lecture L01 Introduction
TECHNOLOGY 

IS ONE OF THE 

MAJOR

FACTORS IN

CHANGE
Today 3.8 billion people connect to the Internet and in the next few years 3
billions will connect
There are more mobile devices connecting to the Internet than computers
Printed newspapers and magazines are going out of business, those who
survive will go online
Bookstores are closing as sales of books decline
CD/DVD sales dropped rapidly as online streaming increases
TV stations need to go on the internet or out of business
Social networks are shaping our lives in ways we never imagined
Amazon sells more digital books than printed books
Over 5 billion hours of video are watched each day on YouTube
Self-driving cars are taking to the roads
People are starting to lose jobs because of robots
Every day 1.4 billion people log on to Facebook
People are tracking the health and activity with sensors and gathering
statistics in the cloud
UNDERSTANDING
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
AND THEIR IMPACT ON
PEOPLE,
BUSINESSES

AND SOCIETY
Living in the future - Identify
major trends today and project
what that means in the next 3-5
years
People say we will experience more
change due to technology in the next 2-3
decades than we have in 2-300 years
The Long View
Technical Revolutions span generations — 50 to 100 years

The Internet Bubble
Transformation from Hierarchical to Networks
The 20th century society
structure was hierarchical –
government, companies, any
form of communication
Coordination cost is high
The 21st century society becomes a
network – software connects
individuals
Coordination cost drops to zero
Any business that is built around
a hierarchy with high
coordination cost, 

will be crushed 

by a networked software solution
with low coordination cost
