Nokia Project Final

CHAPTER 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project titled “To study the brand awareness and brand preference of NOKIA” deals
with the study of Cellular Mobile industry with special emphasis on strategies adopted by
NOKIA to be a market leader in India. It studies the existing plans, various factors which
resulted in the growth of the company.
The study was to determine present scenario, what is the present scenario regarding the
Cellular Mobile industry in India. The steps taken by the government for the rapid growth of
industry. An overview about Nokia emphasizing on the strategies adopted by Nokia to lead in
the Indian market, Marketing Mix and SWOT analysis.
Growth in India's mobile handset production is rapid, propelled by the speed of growth of
mobile subscriber numbers. Local brand mobile phones are also set for growth in the Indian
market thanks to the rising demand for low cost and ultra low cost mobile phones, and EMS
(Electronic Manufacturing Services) vendors to lower revenue exposure to large
multinational vendors.
With low mobile penetration and favorable government policies, original mobile phone
equipment manufacturers are increasingly setting up manufacturing facilities in India. In
January 2006, Nokia initiated operations in its Chennai unit, setting a record with the
production of a record 25 Million handsets in its very first year. It also exports mobiles from
India to Sri Lanka. Motorola and EMS vendors like Foxconn and Flextronics have followed
with plants set up in India.
The furious pace of growth of the demand for mobile connections in India has given a boost
to the demand for home-based mobile manufacturers. The growth of Indian mobile market is
unrivalled all through the world. In a period of 30 days only (May 2009), an additional 6.57
Million mobile subscribers signed up for services. The figure for mobile users in the sub-
continent at the start of June 2009 was 178 Million.
2
Started on a slow note, mobile manufacturing in India has now picked up pace to the extent
that it is now posing a threat to China as a base for low-cost handset production. A Research
Firm highlighted that in past 12 months between May 2008 and 2009, India-produced units
shot up by 68%.
NEED OF THE STUDY
To know the brand awareness and brand preference of nokia handsets in the view of
customers and also to know the marketing strategies followed by the companies to tap the
market, target segment, basis of choosing the target group, the customer preferences
associated with the product and existing distribution channels of the company. Advertising
strategies followed to tap the target market and how the company became a local brand.
The data collection was mainly done through secondary data through the help of various
magazines and searching through internet.
MAJOR FINDINGS DURING THE STUDY
• Nokia is still the market leader with a large portion of market share nearly 49% followed
by Motorola and LG having 15 and 14 % market Share respectively followed by others.
• Nokia success for being market leader is due to their constant focus, Brand Building,
Distribution, made for India Products that is Going Local.
• In order to tap the rural market and beat the competition NOKIA brought some special
mobile Phones in the market with some value added services like Saral Mobile Sandesh
and they are also implementing the idea of shared mobile phone offered through a local
village entrepreneur with the help of NGO’s to increase the penetration level.

COMPANY PROFILE

COMPANY PROFILE
Nokia has played a pioneering role in the growth of cellular technology in India, starting with
the first-ever cellular call a decade ago, made on a Nokia mobile phone over a Nokia-
deployed network.
Nokia started its India operations in 1995, and presently operates out of offices in New Delhi,
Mumbai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmadabad.
The Indian operations comprise of the handsets business; R&D facilities in Bangalore,
Hyderabad and Mumbai; a manufacturing plant in Chennai and a Design Studio in Bangalore.
Over the years, the company has grown manifold with its manpower strength increasing from
450 people in the year 2004 to over 15000 employees in March 2008 (including Nokia
Siemens Networks). Today, India holds the distinction of being the second largest market for
the company globally.
Design Studio
Nokia has set up its first Design Studio in Bangalore in partnership with Srishti School of
Art, Design and Technology. The first of its kind, the design studio will give Nokia designers
and India’s talented youth the opportunity to work together on new design ideas for India and
the global markets
Business Devices
Nokia has established itself as the market and brand leader in the mobile devices market in
India. The company has built a diverse product portfolio to meet the needs of different
consumer segments and therefore offers devices across five categories i.e. Entry, Live,
Connect, Explore and Achieve. These include products that cater to first time subscribers to
advanced business devices and high performance multimedia devices for imaging, music and
gaming.
Nokia has been working closely with operators in India to increase the geographical coverage
and lower the total cost of ownership for consumers. Today, Nokia has one of the largest
distribution network with presence across 1, 30,000 outlets. In addition, the company also has
Nokia Priority Dealers across the country and Nokia ‘Concept stores’ in Bangalore, Delhi,
7
Jaipur, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Chennai, Indore and Mumbai to provide
customers a complete mobile experience.
Services business
With the global launch of Ovi, the company's Internet services brand name, Nokia is
renewing itself to be at the forefront of the convergence of internet and mobility. From being
a product centric company, Nokia is now focusing to become solutions centric. The strategic
shift is built on Nokia’s bid to retain consumers and empower Nokia device owners to realise
the full potential of the Internet. Nokia will build a suite of Internet based services like Nokia
Maps, the Nokia Music Store and Nokia N-Gage around its Ovi brand.
Infrastructure business
Nokia Siemens Networks is a leading global enabler of communications services. The

company provides a complete, well-balanced product portfolio of mobile and fixed network
infrastructure solutions and addresses the growing demand for services with 20,000 service
professionals worldwide. Its operations in India include Sales & Marketing, Research &

How Nokia Changed
In reviewing Nokia, it is critical to realize that the firm did not simply state, we want
to take advantage of changes in technology.” Instead, the firm made numerous
changes in its organization, including structure, personnel policies, and leadership, to
make changes in technology possible.
To illustrate, in 1992 the firm decided to focus on telecommunications. As a result, all
noncore businesses were divested. This involved a massive sell-off of Nokia’s
noncore assets. The individuals remaining in the firm after these assets were sold
differed greatly from the original employees. For example, more than one-third of the
remaining employees were in research and development. The organization of the
research-focused employees was also different from many organizations. Researchers
were not centralized in a single research and development the firm. They were
organized in this way to encourage creativity throughout the organization. The
structure of the organization was also different. Nokia developed a flatter structure in
which employees are encouraged to talk to each other rather than up and down a
hierarchy. This can result in more communication and some inefficiency; however, it
also encourages more creativity. These changes illustrate one of the foundations for
the management of technology and innovation: Not a single change but an
organization-wide effort is needed to succeed. Thus, a firm cannot simply decide to
introduce a new technology or take advantage of a given opportunity.
9
Instead, the company must ensure that the entire firm fits with the technology and the
changes it introduces to both the organization and its people. This alignment is
critical to the success of the management of technology and innovation.
Strategic Perspective
Nokia has not simply seen a single technological innovation and changed everything
in the organization based on that one technology. Instead, it has identified key
changes in the environment and then taken advantage of the broad changes in society.
This strategic perspective results in the firm’s ability to identify broad trends of which
to take advantage. Once the firm identifies such trends, it then makes substantive
commitments throughout the organization to succeed in its efforts. Thus, the firm
takes consistent and essential steps to ensure that it is successful.
What can be seen is that small, systematic steps are taken each year to move the firm
forward. Each of these new products shows incremental changes in the firm’s
strategic direction. Nokia does not simply decide to dominate a particular industry.
Instead, it employs a strategic perspective which argues that the firm needs to identify
where it wants to go. Then the company takes the necessary steps to move to that
position.
Manufacturing in India
Nokia Manufacturing Plant- Sriperumbudur, Chennai
As the global leader in mobile communications, Nokia is committed towards developing its
manufacturing infrastructure and establishing a global sourcing network. The Nokia India
10
manufacturing facility located in Sriperumbudur, Chennai is Nokia's tenth mobile device
production facility globally and has been created in line with Nokia's global philosophy of
developing world class manufacturing systems that enable best-in-class quality, lowest cost,
world class responsiveness, just in time delivery and a challenging and joyful work
environment.
Factory Highlights
• The factory construction from ground breaking to manufacturing of the first product
took 5 months
• Started with 550 people in January 2006, and grown to 8000 people
Spread over an area of 210.87 acres, Nokia started its operations with 550 employees in
January 2006 and today boasts of 8000 employees, 70 percent of whom are women.
Currently the factory exports to 50+ countries in South East Asia, Middle East, Africa,
Australia and New Zealand, other than catering to the demands of the domestic market.
Nokia's manufacturing facility in India reiterates its commitment to the fast growing Indian
telecommunications market.
The Chennai facility has been built keeping in mind Nokia's commitment to employee safety
and in compliance with environmental standards. The quality management and safety systems
at the Nokia manufacturing facility in Chennai are world class.
Nokia lays special emphasis on the well being of its employees and the Chennai
manufacturing site has a highly motivating work environment that is designed to sustain a
large & diverse talent pool. Nokia's employee practices are committed to ethical conduct, full
compliance to applicable national and international laws and respect for human rights in the
spirit of internationally recognized international labour standards in the ILO conventions, the
United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on Rights of the
Child.
Nokia Telecom Park
Chennai was selected as the location for the Nokia Telecom Industry Park due to the
availability of skilled labor, support from the state government and the presence of good
logistics connections. The mission of the Nokia Telecom Industry Park is to create a network
11
of co-located and co-dependent partners that operate at world class standards and
manufacture high quality products.
Developing the Nokia Telecom Industry Park in Chennai into a world class high-tech
industrial zone is an important part of Nokia's global manufacturing and R&D network
strategy. The Telecom Industry Park not only underlines Nokia's successful cooperation with
the Indian government but also represents a unique and optimized business model that will
provide growth opportunities for all parties in the value chain. The 210.87 acres of land in the
Telecom Industry Park provides Nokia with the benefits of a pollution free environment, in-
house customs clearance, and uninterrupted power supply.
With Nokia as the key enabler, the Telecom Park is expected to attract about 8 global and
domestic component suppliers and service providers and create more than 30,000 jobs
when it is in full operation. This Nokia Telecom Park will ensure that the Nokia India
Chennai factory has a consistent supply of lowest total cost material and services from
reliable, collaborative sources of global and local suppliers.
Nokia Telecom Industry Park
Construction update and facts
• Size - 210.87 acres

• External fencing around Nokia Telecom Industry Park - 5.7 km in length
• Area of main building: 30,748 m2
• Total amount of structural steel used in factory construction 2500 t
• Total Capacity of under ground water sump at factory 450 m3
• Project Safety target achieved - One Million man hours without Lost Time Injury
The Nokia Telecom Park also has made significant progress with 7 suppliers already signed
up. These include Salcomp, Aspocomp, Foxconn, Perlos, Jabil, Laird and Wintek. Of these, 2
suppliers have already started shipping to Nokia Chennai viz., Salcomp and Perlos. The Park
will strengthen Nokia's delivery capabilities with added efficiencies and flexibility.
Nokia has been the engine of the investment train in Chennai's manufacturing corridor.
Many electronics manufacturing companies have announced plans to come to the city since
Nokia's establishment. The total impact of the Nokia SEZ can be measured only by an
12
assessment of the actual potential realized – encompassing construction, direct employment
and services opportunities that are sure to come in response to the rising headcounts.
Since the launch, the Nokia facility and the Telecom Park have not only met the targets set at
the beginning, but created an extremely bullish atmosphere in the Sriperumbudur
manufacturing corridor. Nokia will continue to play a key and leading role in the
development of this region.
Key Aspects That Are Kept In Mind While Manufacturing a Product
13
Nokia Organization
 Devices, responsible for developing the best device portfolio for the marketplace.
 Services & Software, reflecting our strategic emphasis on developing and growing our
offering of consumer Internet services and enterprise solutions and software.
 Markets, responsible for the management of our supply chains, sales channels and
marketing activities.
 Corporate Development Office, focuses on our strategy and future growth, and
provides operational support for integration across all the units.
On April 1, 2009, Nokia’s Networks business group was combined with Siemens’ carrier-
related operations for fixed and mobile networks to form Nokia Siemens Networks, jointly
owned by Nokia and Siemens and consolidated by Nokia.

Future of Nokia
The cellular phone market in India has been recording significant growth since the late 1990s
and is the fastest growing in the world. Nokia, the world leader in cellular phone
communications entered India in 1995. Since then the Nokia brand has been steadily
growing and has gained wide acceptance in the Indian market. India is the third largest
market for Nokia, in terms of its net sales as of 2006. Nokia is one of the most trusted
brands in India and leads other cellular phone brands in terms of market share,
advertising and customer service. The innovative technologies, user-friendly features and
affordable prices contributed to Nokia's success in India. The case facilitates discussion
on Nokia's brand building strategies in India. It also allows for discussion on the future
of the Nokia brand and the cellular market in India.
Pedagogical Objectives
• analyze the role of brand image in sustaining market leadership

• To analyze the competitive scenario in the cellular market in India
• To discuss the strategies of Nokia in India
• To analyze the localization strategy of Nokia as a major tool for gaining market
leadership
To analyze the future of the Nokia brand in India
We are discussing the impact of iPhone on the rest of the cellular handset and laptop
ecosystem. Frank Levinson wrote an important piece when the iPhone was first announced,
which you need to read for context.
On RIM, we have said, that the target market (Prosumer, SmartPhone with Integrated
Messaging) is very different from the iPhone (Consumer, SmartPhone with Media Player
focus). Nokia, however, has a lot more overlap with iPhone’s target audience.
iPhone’s innovations: 3 things –
1. The use of OSX – this choice empowers the device to be able to run Safari, mail and
widgets. It continues to unify the Apple product line, not fragment it.
2. The use of a new consumer user interface (UI) and the deletion of so many buttons
and choices (this was what we did about 16 years ago with Windows and 23 years ago
15
with the first Mac and now we are doing it again).
3. The realization that Moore’s law scaling of silicon is continuing and this makes the
possibilities of integration infinite.
Nokia Becomes India Most Trusted Brand
Been a presence in the collective consciousness of the Indian people, having helped establish
India as one of the most exciting mobile technology regions on the planet. The recent
emergence of sharable handsets such as the dust resistant Nokia 1208 with multiple
phonebooks tailored for village life, encapsulates an approach to understanding communities
and adapting technologies to adapt to suit the varying natures of communication.
The Economic Times has reported that Nokia has earned the most trusted brand in India:
"Following a stellar four-year run, the Finnish telecom brand has climbed 70 ranks to become
India’s No 1 trusted brand, according to this year’s Most Trusted Brands survey. The survey
was conducted nationwide across 12 cities, involving over 8,000 respondents across socio-
economic class, age and income groups." Carnegie Mellon University and Haas Business
School at Cal held a one day conference on “The Mobile Future.” The conference featured a
clutch of well-known researchers and industry people.
The take away was that perhaps the mobile phone revolution has finally arrived in the USA.
It was also interesting to see that very few speakers talked about the mobile revolution that
has arrived in the rest of the world. While listening to the speakers I was thinking of last
year’s GSMA’s conference in Macau when I got to listen to and his vision and strategy for
mobile phones in Japan. Or, how the Warner Bros’ honcho finally admitted that perhaps they
got it all wrong with music download music business.
The one person who did draw the attention of the audience to what is happening in the rest of
the world was Senior VP and CTO of Nokia. He pointed out that the mobile revolution was
just getting started even with 3.5 billion mobile phones. He gave a very interesting historical
perspective and said, “I am watching a movie I have seen three times.” He was referring to
the mainframe phase of prior to 1984 where the value shifted from hardware to services,
which was then followed by the mini-computer phase and finally the desktop PC revolution.
The point he was making is that through these three phases he witnessed the diversity and
16
incomputable standards resulting in a notion of standard platform. This “standardization of
platform” has not happened in the mobile space as yet. He also emphasized how mobile
phones were different from computers in that they were a personal device that comes
equipped with sensors. (He never really mentioned location-based services or Nokia’s
acquisition of Navteq and that was very interesting. I wonder why there was no mention of
Navteq considering it was a multi-billion dollar acquisition.)
Dr. Iannucci made a very telling point when he said that with our techno-centric bias
(referring to the US and Silicon Valley) we might miss out on how to serve the next billion
people that are from emerging markets. What does mobility mean to people in these
emerging cultures? That is the biggest challenge for innovation he added. He shared an
interesting statistical tidbit that goes to show how strong Nokia is in other parts of the world
other than the USA. Did you know that every second Nokia produces 17 mobile phones?
The path to the future according to Dr. Iannucci has to be open and Nokia is open to
innovators he stressed. (Just a few weeks ago Nokia launched Nokia Forums to woo
developers and users.)
While Dr. Iannucci spoke from the industry’s perspective, David Pogue of NY Times spoke
from an American consumer user’s perspective and provided a whole different dimension to
the future of mobile . Pogue opened the conference with his hilarious and entertaining speech.
He had original video advertisement and musical tribute laced into his speech. Pogue’s
speech came from a mobile consumer’s perspective, where he highlighted various service
ranging from Grand Central to Cell Wave to iPhone. I videotaped Pogue’s speech that you
can watch on YouTube. Pogue talks about the joys of using VOIP and how some telecom
companies have failed to integrate their billing system (OSS is a huge problem for many
telecos) at the backend.
Pogue talks about mobile services like text-to-voice and Google’s cellular 911 services,
where you get the information without any advertisements or costs.
he recounts how iPhone was developed in complete secrecy. It was so secret that the CEO of
Cingular (now AT&T) did not get to see the final version of the iPhone until 2 weeks before
it was publicly launched. Watch the video clip to find out what was the real revolution the
iPhone unleashed in the US. Pogue does a very funny and original musical tribute to the
17
iPhone or the “god phone.” He is a broadway guy after all like he reminded the audience.
However, his video file clip got corrupted and cut short the musical tribute. And, I guess that
is technology for us.

CHAPTER 5
SCOPE OF STUDY
41
SCOPE OF STUDY
To evaluate the marketing strategy of Nokia in accordance to its brand awareness & brand
preference in the market. Also to study Nokia’s product preference among customers in
comparison to the new niche players in the market.
The pace of growth of the rapidly expanding Indian telecom industry continues to enthrall
everyone. With six million subscribers being added every month and the subscriber base
growing at a rate 82.2 per cent per annum, this is one country no handset manufacturer can
afford to take eyes off.
The fact that the country has the lowest telecom tariffs in the world and that the sub-$100
handsets are the most in demand hasn’t deterred anyone and the world’s largest handset
manufacturing companies are here trying to carve out as large a market share as they can.
The potential is huge: mobile penetration in India is still a paltry 13 per cent, which means
that the scope for growth is immense. Keeping this in mind all the leading companies have
set up their manufacturing facilities in the country.
Says Pankaj Mahendroo, president Indian Cellular Association: “The potential of the handset
market has the players constantly re-jigging their strategies to get the largest share possible of
the next billion customers. It is also pertinent to mention that the model that they follow in
India isn’t necessarily reflective of their global strategy.”
Major Players
The major players in the handset market today are Nokia, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sony
Ericsson and LG. Nokia is by far the largest player in the industry commanding a 49 per cent
share in the business, followed by LG and Motorola at 15 and 14 per cent, and Samsung,
Sony Ericsson and others accounting for the rest.
42
Nokia is the only player that is competing across the spectrum in all categories but others
such as Sony Ericsson and Samsung have decided that while they would have some models
catering to the lower-end of the market their emphasis is on the mid- to upper-end customers,
who look for value for money deals and not just cheap ones.
The successful management of technology and innovation has become one of the most
critical aspects of business today. To recognize how important the management of
technology and innovation (MTI) is, one simply has to look at the impact of those skills on
many of the leading firms around the world. Here is a brief overview of one of the world’s
leading technology firms, Nokia.
Indian Strategy
Marketing Strategy is . . . "a simple statement of your overall plan for attracting prospects,
and converting them into first-time customers, and then lifetime, repeat customers."
The marketing strategy is shaped by overall business goals. It includes a definition of the
business, a description of products or services, a profile of target users or clients, and defines
company’s role in relationship to the competition. The marketing strategy is essentially a
43
document that you use to judge the appropriateness and effectiveness of specific marketing
plans.
To put it another way, marketing strategy is a summary of company's products and position
in relation to the competition; sales and marketing plans are the specific actions to achieve
the goals of marketing strategy. The marketing strategy provides goals for marketing plans. It
tells us where we want to go from here.
Strategy is all about how to build customer loyalty? How can you increase sales to existing
customers (more frequent use or buys, selling a broader product line to them) or new
customers (existing and new products)? How can you penetrate into new areas profitably?
Vision
“Our vision is a world where everyone can be connected”
Everyone has a need to communicate and share. Nokia helps people to fulfill this need and
they help people feel close to what matters to them. They focus on providing consumers with
very human technology – technology that is intuitive, a joy to use, and beautiful.
We are living in an era where connectivity is becoming truly ubiquitous. The
communications industry continues to change and the internet is at the center of this
transformation. Today, the internet is Nokia's quest.
Nokia's strategy relies on growing, transforming, and building the Nokia business to ensure
its future success.
44
Distribution
Nokia, with a network of 95,000 outlets in India, has established a distinct distribution edge
over its competitors. Shivakumar claims that 50,000 of them are exclusive Nokia brand
stores. Besides the original distribution arrangement through the extensive network of HCL,
Nokia has also commenced its direct distribution efforts. Sunil Dutt, director of sales,
observes, “We decided that we would address some markets jointly, and that we would
individually address some of the other markets”.
When mobile phone users graduate to higher-priced handsets, they want specialised attention
from retailers. Realising this need, all kinds of outlets that are selling Nokia mobile phones
along with other products, like STD booths, stationery stores, grocery shops, have now
started setting up shops exclusively for mobile phones. Nokia is also establishing ‘concept
stores’ in major Indian cities. Dutt explains, “At our concept stores, we have tried to bring to
life all the experiences that we offer at Nokia experiential zones across the world”.
If the focus on product attributes enabled Nokia to establish strong brand recall among
consumers, its ability to capitalise on the boom in handset sales from 2002 onwards was as
much the result of its distribution strategy, modelled on that of the larger FMCG firms.
At its apex is the national distributor, which is HCL Infosystems for GSM handsets (CDMA
handsets are still largely distributed through service providers). Under the national distributor
are redistributing stockists who, in turn, supply handsets to over 10,000 outlets countrywide.
The outlets include over 200 Nokia Priority Dealers (exclusive or shops-in-shop) who
participate in the corporation’s brand programmes.
45
As a result of this saturation coverage, Nokia today is present in every town where mobile
services are available, and its distribution model is being emulated by competitors.
All of these will be reinforced as growth in the cellular services market accelerates. Today,
the market for new subscriptions is growing at 2 million a month, thanks to tariffs that have
dropped steeply.
And with handset prices having fallen 45 to 50 per cent since 1995, after reductions in import
duties from 27 to 5 per cent and sales tax from 16 to 4 per cent, Nokia intends to saturate the
market over the next few months.
Against the 19 GSM and three CDMA models that are currently available, Nokia plans to
launch over 20 new products in India over the next year, including seven CDMA handsets.
Marketing Mix (4P’s)
The Marketing Mix model can be used by marketers as a tool to assist in defining the
marketing strategy. Marketing managers use this method to attempt to generate the optimal
response in the target market by blending 4 variables in an optimal way. It is important to
understand that the Marketing Mix principles are controllable variables. The Marketing Mix
can be adjusted on a frequent basis to meet the changing needs of the target group and the
other dynamics of the marketing environment.
Combination of marketing elements used in the sale of a particular product. The marketing
elements center around four distinct functions, sometimes called the Four Ps: product, price,
place (of distribution), and promotion. All these functions are considered in planning a
marketing strategy, and any one may be enhanced, deducted, or changed in some degree in
order to create the strategy necessary to efficiently and effectively sell a product.
46
The term marketing mix refers to the four major areas of decision making in the marketing
process that are blended to obtain the results desired by the organization. The four elements
of the marketing mix are sometimes referred to the four Ps of marketing. The marketing mix
shapes the role of marketing within all types of organizations, both profit and nonprofit. Each
element in the marketing mix product, price, promotion, and place consists of numerous sub
elements. Marketing managers make numerous decisions based on the various sub elements
of the marketing mix, all in an attempt to satisfy the needs and wants of consumers.

Therefore the question on product has become: does

CHAPTER 6
METHODOLOGY
49
METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
During my dissertation project, I have followed two methods:
Primary method of data collection
In this method I have used mainly the questionnaire method.a set of questions was
given to the customers visiting various nokia care centres, nokia priority dealers
and other nokia outlets.
Secondary method of data collection
50
Secondary data consists of information that already exists somewhere and may have been
collected for a different purpose. It provides a starting point for research and offers
the advantage of lower cost and quicker availability. The sources of secondary data
are:-
• Internet
• Journals of ICFAI University
• Case studies
• Articles from different magazines like – Business India, Business World and
Business Today etc.
• Newspaper articles from – Brand Equity, Economic Times etc.
Based on the above information obtained from the above sources, concepts were developed
on which analysis was made.
Limitations
Time constraint is a major problem in this project. The work is based on only the
information fathered from the websites, journals and magazines.And the
information collected through questionnaire may suffer from biasness of
respondents and their inefficiency to answer.
Price
51
Nokia`s strategy as of pricing is very simple. They are trying to target everyone from a 12
year old teenager to 60 yr old man. Their pricing fits the pocket of everyone from a middle
class income family to the super premium league.
The base model of Nokia in India as of now is Nokia 1200 which is sold at a price of Rs
1,350 appx. Whereas the costliest model of Nokia commands a price of 50,000 + Indian
Rs .Nokia has a very unique approach towards pricing in south east Asia especially India
where a new product when launched is sold at a very high price but as and when the time
passes by they reduce these prices considerably. It helps the company to maximize its profits
initially and in later parts of product cycle the phone is sold at only variable cost plus profit.
The company has divided its range on the basis of price as follows
Below 5000- base products.
5,000—30,000---- products with few unique features and latest technology
20-000---- 50,000---- mobiles with cutting edge technology
Initially the Nokia products are priced at a premium range in order to skim the market but in
later stages in order to penetrate in to the market deeper the company reduces its prices,
generally this happens after six months of the launch. In terms of Pricing Nokia products are
bit on the higher side if we compare it with competitor products.
Here, even as price continues to be a significant factor for determining the choice of handset
or service provider, the value equation, according to Sanjay Behl, marketing head of Nokia
India, is even more imperative. Nokia found success with its ‘Made in India’ Nokia 1100,
which incorporated unique features such as a torchlight, a dust-resistant keypad and an anti-
slip grip to appeal to the semi-urban markets. Importantly, Behl says that even applications
and software — such as T9 or language interface and text input — have to be customized to
meet consumer needs.
52
Place
At Nokia, they like to make customer’s buying experience as convenient as using their
mobile phones. Nokia has a retail chain across the country, to meet all the mobile phone
needs. The chain consists of exclusive flagship stores and important mobile phone shops in
all major Indian cities.
• NOKIA PROFESSIONAL CENTRES: These are Nokia flagship stores that offer a
full range of Nokia mobile phones and accessories in an international retail
environment, which helps the customers in their decision making. NPCs also provide
"Nokia Care", their branded after sales services, provided by specially trained staff.
The NPC is truly a one-stop centre for all your mobile phone needs.
53
• NOKIA PRIORITY DEALERS: These key outlets allow the company to come
closer to the customers. Spread across the country, and expanding rapidly in terms of
reach, the NPD chain ensures that you get the latest Nokia mobile phones and genuine
accessories, quickly and conveniently.
Distribution Channel of Nokia in India
Nokia has a very simple distribution channel in India and it’s very similar to its competitors
and is working to the advantage of the industry as a whole. As of the distribution channel
company has used different networks to reach to the masses and their distribution channel is
• PRIORITY DEALERS: They are the people who represent the company. They have
all the latest models and have information about future introductions by the company.
Here customers normally find the personnel of nokia. In India the total number of
priority dealers is around 8 only and they are located at major cities of the country.
• SHOWROOMS: The Company makes sure that their products are available at
leading electronics shops like Agrani Switches, Airtel shops etc. They are the most
crucial part of the supply chain. The company has normally Tie up with these chain of
retailers who display and sell the models of Nokia and also act as a place of service
stations as their trained personnel are trained by Nokia staff
• RETAILERS: They normally form the lower end of the distribution chain. They sell
the max volume of the mobile phones for the company. The are located at different
strategic locations and customers mostly purchase these from here only.
• GREY MARKET: It’s a very important distribution channel used by the company.
Nokia India`s operation may not be using this channel as its illegal sorts but lots of
Nokia’s products are available in these markets .We can understand the volume by the
fact that grey market sells 75% of the total turnover of the mobile phones sold
54
Nokia, a leader in India's US$2.5 billion mobile phone market, is built a unit in Chennai. The
manufacturing unit will be Nokia’s tenth mobile device production facility globally. They
have selected Chennai to be the location for the factory because of the availability of skilled
labor, friendly business environment, and support from the government, good logistics
connections and overall cost-efficiency.
Promotion
Nokia is a very techno savvy and market savvy and friendly company. As of the
advertisement expenditures, Nokia spends maximum amount on advertising as compared to
its competitors and is closely followed by Samsung. The company uses mix of Public
relations, promotions, advertising and personnel selling and the major focus is on the
advertising. The company spends 50 %of its total revenue on advertisements and the rest in
other tools. Nokia has been ranked as one of the top 5 brands in world telecommunication
and in mobile industry it holds the premier position in terms of brand recall, customer
satisfaction etc. Different advertisement campaigns have been launched from time to time by
Nokia and more often at the time of launch of a new model.
55
• PRINT CAMPAIGNS: The thing to observe in their advertisement is that all their
campaigns are targeted at youth or at professionals which form the core of all the
campaigns. The Nokia hasn`t kept using particular colors in their campaigns but they
have used a mix of it - yellow in case of 8310 ,red in case of 8810. But one thing is
common that is they are flashy, very attractive and attention garners.
Their partner Bates Advertising company in India has done a wonderful job. Another
thing observed is that their campaigns in print target more on product features that is
that their campaigns have product centric appeals.
• ADVERTISEMENTS IN TV`S: We have observed that strategy in television is
entirely different when Nokia decides to start its marketing initiative on TV. The
focus is more on emotional appeal and the most commonly appeal used by Nokia is
the life style .who can forget the soup ad of Nokia and their latest campaign on Nokia
8810. The most preferred channel in India for Nokia is CNBC followed by star and
then SONY
• PUBLIC RELATIONS: Mostly it is done by South East Asia operations and it deals
with printing of articles in magazines which mainly deal with business, leisure and
newspapers. The articles are mainly written by prominent personalities about their
product and its features. Another form of public relations being used is the use of
bollywood stars. Nokia has sponsored certain scenes in few movies which are targeted
at upper class with the actors possessing the latest models of Nokia. It is a very
successful tool and has helped Nokia in building the brand name.
• PROMOTION CAMPAIGNS: Promotions are normally done by sponsoring the
events which are mostly related to sports and games like golf, Polo, Cricket And
sponsoring of other events like fashion shows, movies, Co promotions Etc. This tool
has been second most preferred tool used by Nokia in India.
56
From Product Centric To Solutions Centric (Strategy)
In a major shift from its product-centric strategy that it has successfully run with for years,
Nokia has decided to become solutions-centric. What it's beginning to do in India - its second
largest market after China - reflects a global shift in strategy.
Devinder Kishore, Director Marketing, Nokia India, says, "We are moving into selling
solutions. Devices will not be the only thing any longer.
Over the next three-to-six months, we will be offering combinations of products and services
and #8230; there will be lots of services." For example, the just-launched Nokia 6110
Navigator whose integrated GPS offers location-based services to the consumer, besides 3G,
multimedia and camera features.
While GPS is also integrated with Nokia N95, N82, E90, and S60 and Series 40 devices via
Bluetooth, Kishore says the 6110 sets off the bundled solutions rollout. The strategic shift is
built on Nokia's bid to retain consumers over their lifetimes.
It therefore extends to very clear consumer identification. A major global study by Nokia has
thrown up a segmentation model outlining 12 types of consumers - common to all markets -
looking for very different things from their mobile experience.
"Our research shows that our consumers are not cut by age or price, but choose by aspiration
and involvement with the mobile category," says Kishore. The 12 segments have been
distributed under four consumer categories - Live, Achieve, Connect and Explore.
The 'Live' category is aspirational for whom the handset is a lifestyle accessory. Nokia
Xpress Music targets this category.
The 'Achieve' category wants products and services that help with the achievement
endeavour. Nokia's E-Series targets this category.
'Connect' is made up of simple "connectivity and progressive simplicity" users. The 'Explore'
category loves technology, is fairly global, individual, but loves to share discovery.
The N-Series targets Explore consumers. Nokia's product philosophy is guided by the Flow,
Wow and Show aspects of mobile phone experiences.
57
With 'Flow' the product works just the way the consumer likes it (example, E-Series). The
'Wow' product creates such a strong emotional response that it feels almost magical (N-
Series).
The 'Show' product appears "simply beautiful and just for me." By pushing different
combinations of these three aspects within each consumer category, Nokia's attempt is to
create four unique impressions
Advertisement Strategy
The new categorisation requires differentiated communication - Nokia's advertising varies,

according to the categories, from a global look and feel to totally local messages. The N-
Series and Xpress Music campaigns may be more global, but 'entry level' ads - such as the
one where the worried wife uses the neighbour's Nokia to talk to her husband and son, or
where the bus battery dies and Nokia comes to the rescue - create a different connect.
Using Shah Rukh Khan as brand ambassador is something new for a brand that has all along
talked leadership and technology. "He has a pan-India appeal and in smaller markets, a huge
connect" Kishore points out.
"He's tech savvy and comfortable talking about Nokia, which he uses. We took a calculated
shot on SRK helping us explode the rural market for us.
“Nokia’s media planning tries to ensure that targeted category consumers get to see the ads
meant for them, through a selection of different channel clusters.” For N95, we advertise on
Discovery, English movie channels, select news channels.
For entry level, we would target a Doordarshan sponsorship on one-day cricket. We put big
bets on the 20:20 matches, feeling that youth would respond well.
Cricket is watched by all our consumer categories," Kishore explains. Beyond advertising,
Nokia is trying to create more touch points through its concept stores, already opened across
several major metros (Mumbai is still to see one, though) and cities, and a showcasing of its
higher end products via malls and road shows.
58
In the meanwhile, this market leader takes product complaints in its stride. There have been
complaints, for example, of its N-Series phones hanging.
"Yes, and we are working to fix the problem," says Kishore. While Nokia's servicing
facilities are fairly widespread, it is also perhaps easier for a market leader to accept
shortcomings and say something will be done about it, without getting defensive about it.
59
CHAPTER 7
HYPOTHESIS
HYPOTHESIS
60
1. My first hypothesis was that nokia is a well known brand and by my study I
have come to know that yesit is a well known brand because more than 65%
people stated that.
2. My second hypothesis was that people always buy nokia .by the study we have
come to the conclusion that not always but most of the time people buy nokia
handsets mostly when they want long lasting battery backup and in case if
they are expensing more and are brand conscious.
3. The third hypothesis was that customers are satisfied with nokia service centre
but this hypothesis is not true because only 39%people are satisfied with these
services.
61
CHAPTER 8
GROWTH OF HANDSET
IN RURAL MARKET
GROWTH OF HANDSET IN RURAL MARKET
62
What is the strategy of Nokia to explore the rural market in India?
Their strategy lies very strongly in mobile telecommunications. They believe that mobile
telecommunications is the most cost effective tool especially in the rural areas in order to
access communications.
That’s probably not just in the Indian rural areas but also in other rural areas in different parts
of the world. Another thing in strategy that they see in India is the rich culture. In India, there
is not just one solution to explore, but there has to be many solutions and they are willing to
work with the operators in order to explore them. Most concretely, consumers can see that in
Nokia they are adding new languages in mobile phone.
Depending on the mobile phone model they have up to 9 Indian languages supported in a
mobile phone and this is of course increasing all the time. Languages are very important.
They try to make user interface more practical for people who have difficulty in reading and
writing. Often we hear that someone had bought a Nokia mobile phone and didn’t have to
read the handset manual because it was so easy to start to use.
They are also working on having interfaces in mobile handsets, which are more graphical,
more intuitive. Also, in some of the new handsets, it can be seen already, over the handset
how to do certain things, not just by reading but also by watching. It is like watching a
learning presentation before you start to use your mobile.
The launch of these GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) phones in India
comes in the wake of attempts by the Indian government and mobile services operators in the
country to introduce low-cost mobile telephony to India's rural masses.
Like the traditional public call office, the shared mobile phone offered through a local village
entrepreneur is seen by many nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) as the best way to
increase mobile penetration in rural markets, where users may not be able to afford a personal
63
phone. In many villages, local entrepreneurs have already emerged to offer this service.
Nokia's 1200 and 1208 models offer call-time tracking and multiple phonebooks, the
company said. To help manage airtime costs, the call-time tracking feature allows consumers
and village phone entrepreneurs to preset a time or cost limit on individual calls,
automatically ending the call after the limit has been reached, it said.
India had 166 million mobile subscribers at the end of March, up 68 percent over a year
earlier, according to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). Most of these
subscribers are in urban areas. Large mobile service providers have identified the rural
market as the next big opportunity. The government is also subsidizing roll-outs of mobile
services in rural markets, and has proposed that operators share infrastructure to reduce costs.
A number of multinational mobile phone vendors, including Nokia, have started
manufacturing phones in India. Nokia also has other operations in the country including a
research and development center and a network operations center.
The Nokia 1200, with a monochrome screen, will be available this quarter with an estimated
retail price of about $48 before subsidies or taxes. The Nokia 1208, with a color VGA-
resolution screen, will be available in the third quarter of this year with an estimated retail
price of $65, Nokia said.
Nokia also launched four other low-cost GSM phones, including the entry-level Nokia 1650
and Nokia 2660, and the Nokia 2630 and 2760 with features such as a built-in camera, an e-
mail client, an FM radio and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Nokia 1650 and 2660 will be available this quarter, with the 1650 priced at about $75,
and the 2660 at about $115. The Nokia 2630 and Nokia 2760 will be available in the third
quarter of this year. The estimated price for the Nokia 2630 will be around $115 and for the
Nokia 2760 around $122.
64
The company also launched Nokia 2505, an entry-level phone based on the CDMA (code
division multiple access) standard for markets in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, China
and Latin America. The phone will be available in select markets in this quarter. Nokia did
not disclose the pricing of this product.

CHAPTER 9
SWOT ANALYSIS
67
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
A long established identity and very strong brand recognition by providing wide variety of
phone models. Nokia had the vision and foresight to define the brand, develop products with
a clear product and design strategy and had a clear communication strategy.
Nokia phones have become more than just methods of communication; instead they have
become a fashion statement. Photography and Fashion are interwoven as they are both
vibrant expressions of imaginations and feelings. Nokia believes in connecting people to their
passions. Nokia’s hi-end imaging devices enrich the customer’s imaging experience by
providing leading technology
Consumer concern for reliability and functionality has enhanced the popularity of Nokia
phones and made it a trusted brand. The Nokia Research and Development Center in
Bangalore On the strength of its large talent pool of skilled researchers, India has become a
global hub for innovation and Research and Development, and a leader in developing cutting
edge solutions on both 2G and 3G platforms for mobile devices. Nokia has two additional
R&D centers in India, one each in Hyderabad and Mumbai. The centers are focused on next-
generation packet-switched mobile technologies and communications solutions to enhance
corporate productivity.
68
WEAKNESS
The only weakness that NOKIA has it closed technology. Nokia is using Symbian's operating
system in all their mobile phones. As Mobile phone prices are falling, handset vendors and
mobile users are looking for new lucrative software operations.
69
OPPORTUNITIES
Since consumers demand more than just cheap phones, low cost feature rich phones is the
need of the hour, both from consumers and vendors point of view. I believe that the next
phase of mobile telephony growth would come from B and C class cities and rural areas
where most of the population cannot afford expensive handsets but would like to use mobile
services. And this is the target market for handset vendors.
As almost all handset vendors have joined the price war, market would see a sustained drop
in handset prices, especially, at the entry level where market is fairly competitive. Though
entry-level consumers are betting on good price deals but in the long run price will no longer
be the only factor as eventually customers would look for value.
Operator’s engagement in the whole value chain is very critical and low cost handset market
dynamics driven by operators adds more value to consumers and makes the value chain more
efficient. Chip manufacturers, too play a major role in this value chain as they are the one,
who can reduce cost and time to market in collaboration with OEM’s and operators.
But ultimately, since mobile telephony is the consumer driven market, it’s important for
stakeholders to match customer expectations which is availability of handsets at affordable
price and good after sales support. Hence, it’s important for operators to partner with the right
handset vendor which has a robust distribution channel.
70
THREATS
All the stake holders in the supply chain have now realized that working in isolation is not a
way forward to address the low cost segment. The joint go-to-market strategy is the right way
to move forward and hence chip manufacturer-OEM-operator collaboration would help
reducing cost and time to market low cost handsets.
But the biggest challenge in front of vendors and operators is that consumers don’t want low-
cost phones to be low on features. The demand is of feature rich low cost handset.
The ULCH handset marketplace is currently dominated by Motorola and Nokia, but other
handset manufacturers including LG, BenQ, Philips, Ningbo Bird, Haier, and Kyocera has
plans to come-up with innovative low-cost handset strategy to compete with biggies like
Nokia, Motorola and ZTE who have already made their presence felt in Indian market. ZTE
is expected to sell around 10 million handsets this year in India.
According to ABI research by 2011, 25 percent of handset shipped globally will be an ultra
low cost handset and India would contribute a large chunk to it. As most handset vendors
have started manufacturing in India, it will be a major export hub for low cost handsets.

CHAPTER 11
CONCLUSION
78
CONCLUSION
The mobile telephony trend the country is witnessing today portrays a contrasting image. On
the one hand there is a huge rural and semi-rural mass waiting to be connected, while on the
other one sees that to the chic and modern urban class, mobile phone is now more than just a
device to stay connected.
Nokia, world's leading mobile phone supplier believes that India will emerge as the second-
largest mobile phone market by year 2010. At present, it is the third-largest mobile phone
market in terms of volume sales for Nokia, after the US and China, respectively. Nokia India
has also earmarked $150 million, to be invested in phases over the next few years, to upgrade
its manufacturing facility in Chennai. At present, the plant manufactures 20 million units in
11 months for sale in India and overseas.
“India is the fastest growing mobile market in the world with six million subscribers adding
every month, the mobile industry in India has taken off in a big way " Sunil Dutt, Director of
Nokia India.
Nokia will keep expanding its venture in this country keeping in mind the requirements of
the Indian market. Nokia believes launching affordable yet stylish handsets with several
appealing features is the key to growth. They would launch handsets and solutions in line
with user needs with the help of extensive research to ensure to tap every potential market
and customer need.
79
CHAPTER 12
RECOMMENDATION &
SUGGESTIONS
80
RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS
1.Nokia should pay more attention towards its service centre facilities.
2.As the number of players are imerging in the market specially small players and also
Chinese mobile,therefore nokia should pay more attention towards innovative products
as well as towards cost cutting.
3.As it is a number one brand so the only thing it has to do is to maintain its position in
the mind of the customers.that can be done by proper advertisement and awareness
schemes.
4.It should penetrate the rural market as it has a large scope.
