Big picture

Time period Development summary
1865 – 1967 First era characterized by the presence of three different companies. Nokia originates first as a pulp mill and the enterprise acquires the name Nokia in 1871. The Finnish Rubber Works and The Finnish Cable Works complete the core foundation of the future corporation. Soon, the interest of the three firms intertwins but as long as Finland forms part of the Russian Empire, the merging of firms would not be allowed.[1]
1967 – 1990 By the 1960s, Nokia becomes a conglomerate, comprising rubber, cable, forestry, electronics and power generation businesses.[2] The period starts with the three companies - Nokia, Finnish Cable Works and Finnish Rubber Works, merging and creating the new Nokia Corporation, a new restructured form divided into four major businesses: forestry, cable, rubber and electronics. In the early 1970s, Nokia enters the networking and radio industry. This era is mainly based on multi-trade mergers and internationalization.[3] The late 1970s and 1980s are a period of radical change for Nokia, after the company's then CEO, Kari Kairamo, decides to push the company away from rubber boots and paper and focuses toward the electronics and high-technology business that take off at the time.[4]
1990 – 2007 Nokia internationalizes its Research and development function, by setting up research centres abroad. Early in the decade, Nokia adopts an export-based sales strategy. By 1998, Nokia would firmly establish itself as the global leader.[5] Around the same time, co-operation with other companies, research institutes and universities would become a central part of Nokia’s global R&D strategy.[6] Among the co-operations, the Nokia Siemens Network joint venture is founded in 2007.
2007 forward After the glorious 90s, the impact of Nokia begins to decrease rapidly. In 2009, Nokia posts its first quarterly loss in more than a decade, largely due to HTC developing a smartphone running on the yet new Google Android operating system. With the iPhones and various Android smartphones taking the market by storm, Nokia would fail to keep up with them.[5] In 20126, Nokia announces its comeback, releasing a new range of feature phones and tablets.[7]
