INTRODUCTION
Definition of Mobile phone:

The cellular telephone (commonly mobile phone or cell phone or hand phone) is a long range portable electronic device used for mobile communication. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone , current mobile phones can support many additional services such assess or text messaging, email, switching for access to the Internet, & MMS for sending and receiving photos and videos. Most current mobile phones connect to a Cellular network of base stations, which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone networks phones. Cellular telephone is also defined as a type of shortwave analog or digital telecommunication in which a subscriber has a wireless connection from a mobile telephone to a relatively nearby transmitter. The transmitter's span of coverage is called a cell. Generally, cellular telephone service is available in urban areas and a long major highway. As the cellular telephone user moves from one cell or area of coverage to another telephone is effectively passed on to the local cell transmitter. A cellular telephone is not be confused with a code less telephones.

HISTORY OF NOKIA
Established in 1865 as a wood-pulp mill by Knut Fredrik Ides tam on the banks of Nokianvirta River in Finland. Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia Wood Mills, Telephone and Telegraph Cables. Nokia Corporation created - 1967 -paper products- car tires- personal computers-cables. Nokia began developing the digital switch (Nokia DX 200) which became a success. 1991 Nokia - agreements to supply GSM networks nine European countries. August 1997 Nokia - GSM systems to 59 operators in 31 countries.

FUTURE OF NOKIA
By the year 2012 a quarter of all content will be user-generated and passed between friends, rather than being created and distributed by today's media brands, according to interviews with "trend-setting consumers. The Future Laboratory spoke to 9000 consumers on behalf of Nokia, all of whom are described as "active users of technology" and thus can be trusted to tell us what the world's going to look like. As Nokia's Vice President, Multimedia, Mark Selby describes it thus:"We think it will work something like this; someone shares video foot age they shot on their mobile device from a night out with a friend, that friend takes that footage and adds an MP3 file - the soundtrack of the evening - then passes it to another friend. That friend edits the footage by adding some photographs and passes it onto another friend and so on."All of which will be done on their mobile phone, obviously. Driving users to prefer content mashed up by friends, as opposed to professionally- produced, are four trends which The Future Laboratory and Nokia have identified through their research. Immersive Living reflects the way people are always online, while Geek Culture is a reflection of how everyone wants high-tech toys these days at least, all the people interviewed for this studys technology for girls -apparently not just technology for boys painted pink and Localism sees users taking pride in content produced by their locality. All in all it's remarkable how closely this research matches Nokia's ideal vision of the future. Consumers using mobile phones to create and mashup content, taking power away from the media brands and placing it in the hands of those running the portals and controlling the mobile user experience.

The Vision of Nokia:Our vision is a world where everyone can be connected. Our vision is to ensure that 5 billion people are always connected at any given point and to achieve 100 Fold more network traffic.

First mobile phone

The Mobira City man 150, Nokia's NMT-900mobile phone from 1989(left), compared to the Nokia 1100 from 2003. The Mobira City man line was launched in 1987. The technologies that preceded modern cellular mobile telephony systems were the various "0G" pre-cellular mobile radio telephony standards. Nokia had been producing commercial and some military mobile radio communications technology since the 1960s, although this part of the company was sold some time before the later company rationalization. Since 1964, Nokia had developed VHF radio simultaneously with Salora Oy. In 1966, Nokia and Salora started developing the ARP standard (which stands for Auto radio puhel in or car radio phone in English), a car-based mobile radio telephony system and the first commercially operated public mobile phone network in Finland. It went online in 1971 and offered 100% coverage in 1978. In 1979, the merger of Nokia and Salora resulted in the establishment of Mobira Oy. Mobira began developing mobile phones for the NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephony) network standard, thefirst-generation,first fully automatic cellular phone system that went online in 1981.In 1982, Mobira introduced its firs tcar phone, the Mobira Senator for NMT-450 networks.

Nokia bought Salora Oy in 1984 and now owning 100% of the company,changed the company's telecommunications branch name to Nokia - Mobira Oy. The Mobira Talk man, launched in 1984, was one of the world's first transportable phones. In 1987, Nokia introduced one of theworld's first handheld phones, the Mobira City man 900 for NMT900networks (which, compared to NMT-450, offered a better signal, yet as horter roam). While the Mobira Senator of 1982 had weighed 9.8 kg(22 lb) and the Talk man just less than 5 kg (11 lb), the Mobira City manweighed only 800 g (28 oz) with the battery and had a price tag of 24,000 Finnish marks (approximately 4,560). Despite the high price, the first phones were almost snatched from the sales assistants' hands. Initially, the mobile phone was a "yuppie" product and a status symbol. Nokia's mobile phones got a big publicity boost in 1987, when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was pictured using a Mobira City man to make a call from Helsinki to his communications minister in Moscow. This led to the phone's nickname of the "Gorba". In 1988, Jorma Nieminen, resigning from the post of CEO of the mobile phone unit, along with two other employees from the unit, started a notable mobile phone company of their own, Benefon Oy (sincere named to GeoSentric). One year later, Nokia-Mobira Oy became Nokia Mobile Phones.

SWOT analysis of Nokia

Strengths
Nokia worlds largest producer and manufacturer of cell phones as well as has the largest distribution network around the world. It is also known for the Creativity, Innovativeness, durability & reliability. It has very good financial position, higher return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA) and net profit margins (NPM) Nokia leads the global cell phone industry Nokia dominates the world cellular industry because it has the Strong R & D facilities. Nokia also possessing the all fashion strategies and four style new generation characteristic from manufacturers It has diverse work force and advanced technology.

Weaknesses
It has declared its profits had dropped by 40 % in 2010. Nokia mobile phones prices are higher as compare to the prices of china mobiles handsets. Nokia presence in the US cellular industry is very low and in Japan it has very weak position. In India Nokia has few service centers and very appalling after sales service In Japan Nokia closed the mobile handset distribution and also canceled the distribution of E71 handset due to low market preference.

Opportunities
In 2011, the global cell phone industry expected to grow by double digits Today, Asia-Pacific mobile phone industry is one of the fastest-growing industry in the world. Developing countries like China, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan has enormous demand potential. Nokia had a 50-50 joint venture with Siemens of Germany Youth wants the stylish aesthetics, fashionable handsets, it drive the new market for players.

Threats
Consumers are becoming more complicated in the choice of handset due to new styles by china mobiles. Difficult for sellers to differentiate their products and retain loyalty. Nokia is facing very strong price pressure from china and other mobile producers Nokia is losing global market share after the arrival of several Chinese producers In the Asia/Pacific emerged competitive forces. Apple, RIM and the other different sellers have created strong pressure for Nokia.

ECONOMY OF INDIA
The economy of India is the tenth-largest in the world by nominal GDP and the thirdlargest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country is one of the G-20 major economies and a member of BRICS. On a per-capita-income basis, India ranked 141st by nominal GDP and 130th by GDP (PPP) in 2012, according to the IMF. India is the 19thlargest exporter and the 10th-largest importer in the world. The economy slowed to around 5.0% for the 201213 fiscal year compared with 6.2% in the previous fiscal. On 28 August 2013 the Indian rupee hit an all time low of 68.80 against the US dollar. In order to control the fall in rupee, the government introduced capital controls on outward investment by both corporates and individuals. India's GDP grew by 9.3% in 201011; thus, the growth rate has nearly halved in just three years. GDP growth rose marginally to 4.8% during the quarter through March 2013, from about 4.7% in the previous quarter. The government has forecast a growth rate of 6.1%6.7% for the year 201314, whilst the RBI expects the same to be at 5.7%. Besides this, India suffered a very high fiscal deficit of US$ 88 billion (4.8% of GDP) in the year 201213. The Indian Government aims to cut the fiscal deficit to US$ 70 billion or 3.7% of GDP by 201314. The independence-era Indian economy (from 1947 to 1991) was based on a mixed economy combining features of capitalism and socialism, resulting in an inwardlooking, interventionist policies and import-substituting economy that failed to take advantage of the post-war expansion of trade. This model contributed to widespread inefficiencies and corruption, and the failings of this system were due largely to its poor implementation. In 1991, India adopted liberal and free-market principles and liberalised its economy to international trade under the guidance of Former Finance minister Manmohan Singh under the Prime Ministry of P.V.Narsinha Rao, prime minister from 1991 to 1996, who had eliminated Licence Raj, a pre- and post-British era mechanism of strict government controls on setting up new industry. Following these major economic reforms, and a strong focus on developing national infrastructure such as the Golden Quadrilateral project by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the country's economic growth progressed at a rapid pace, with relatively large increases in percapita incomes. The south western state of Maharashtra contributes the highest towards India's GDP among all states. Mumbai (Maharashtra) is known as the trade and commerce capital of India.

NOKIAS SHARE IN INDIA

The mobile market in India is currently worth Rs 35,946 crore growing at 14 per cent year on year. Samsung is now the No 1 brand in the country having overtaken Nokia after registering a growth of 47 per cent last year. Indian brands such as Micromax, Karbonn and Lava have also made inroads into the market, mostly at the expense of Nokia. The big change in the market has been the growth of smartphones with people increasingly happy to shell out a little extra for it. India is now the third largest smartphone market in the world with 9 million units sold last year. This accounts for 15 per cent of the total mobile phone handsets sold; the remaining 85 per cent being feature phones. In the smartphones category, phablets (screen size: 5 to 6.99 inch) now account for 30 per cent of the category. The other big changes are reduction of prices of fast 3G wireless technology and the expected launch of 4G technology on a national scale. Riding on these changes, data consumption is expected to grow and this will, in turn, further fuel the growth of smartphones. This is also supported by trends in the US, where 62 per cent of the mobile subscribers use smartphones as of Q2 2013. Smartphone Market-share India

Samsung leads the smartphone market share with 26 per cent and Micromax is a close second with 22 per cent, According to IDC, local smartphone brands now account for over half of all smartphones shipped into India. The Indian smartphone market is highly pricesensitive; in fact, around 70 per cent of the devices shipped are priced at Rs 14,000 or lower and 67 per cent of the devices shipped are priced at Rs 10,000 or lower.

Nokia in INDIA Nokia was one of the first handset companies to enter the India market in the early 1990s and the brand almost became generic to cell-phones. Its hold on the Indian market was far stronger than in the international market. Adding to this is the fact that the Indian mobile phone market grew at a scorching pace in the early 1990s, Nokia even started one of its largest manufacturing facilities in India. However, along with the rest of the world, Nokia lost its leadership position in India, unable to capitalise on the smartphone trend. Current range of Nokia phones in India Feature Phones Number Series: These are basic feature phones within the Nokia portfolio. It has phones like 106, 207 and 515. Asha Series: These are also features phones but the differentiating factor is that the phone comes pre-installed with popular apps, and the memory and processing power is better than the number series phone. This competes with feature phones from Indian manufacturers such as Micromax, Karbonn, and Lava as well as foreign manufacturers such as Samsung and LG. Smartphone Lumia Series: This is the smartphone sub-brand from Nokia. The models go from 520 to 1020 each differentiated by processing speed, cost and other high-end features. It is based on Windows OS. What analysts say The drop of shares of Nokia is possibly one of the most analysed and written about cases and analysts believe Nokia lost shares due to a combination of reasons: 1. High on feature and competitively priced products from global majors such as Samsung, LG, Sony at the top end. 2. Entry of feature rich but cheap Chinese handsets under local brands such as Micromax and Karbonn at the lower end 3. Its inability to find a universal platform like Android for its smartphones. This, analysts feel, will hound Nokia much longer and much harder as the market continues to shift to smartphones from feature phones.

Current Situation Facing competition and erosion from all sides, Nokia responded by cutting the prices of its feature phones, introduced the feature-rich Asha range and jettisoned its OS for the smartphones in favour of Windows OS in mid-2011 with the launch of Lumia range. The high-profile launch of the Lumia and subsequent marketing pressure has not really resulted in a reversal of fortunes for Nokia. In early September 2013, Microsoft finally bought over Nokias handset business, which has raised even more questions on Nokia than it has answered. The Problem Industry feels that the Microsoft buy was meant to popularise the Windows OS and possibly fight Google phones in the market. However, given that the brand Nokia is leased to it for just 10 years, how will the company use the handset manufacturing facilities and the brand to further its objective. The marketing team realises that currently Windows OS is definitely not the most popular and will, hence, hamper the growth of Nokia handsets, especially in the smartphone segment. At the same time, unless the Nokia smartphone share grows rapidly, the objective of popularising the Windows OS will not be achieved. It is obvious that the Microsoft board is only keen to popularise the Windows OS and not just increase Nokia handset sales. You are the head of the Mobile Solutions business at Microsoft and have been asked to share your views on what should Microsoft do from here with respect to Nokia handsets division and why. The objective for you is to make Windows the strong second as the operating system for phones, if the not the first, during this 10-year period. As both companies in question are live companies, you can gather additional information on their current strategies from secondary research.
