Nokia will empower everyone to share and make the most of their life by offering irresistible

personal experiences.

March 2010

The convergence of the mobile, internet and PC are a reality. Consumers want complete solutions not just
devices, and technology to be invisible. Consumer relationships are the new unit of value in this converged
industry as consumers "consume" services as they are created.

Our vision of the future

"Connecting people" is now connecting people to what matters - whatever that means for each person -
giving them the power to make the most of every moment, everywhere, any time. Connecting the "we" is
more powerful than just the individual. That's how Nokia is needed to help make the world a better place for
everyone.

Our strategy

To do this we will become the leading provider of mobile solutions. Our solutions strategy leverages one of
our greatest assets - a portfolio of outstanding devices, with unmatched scale and geographic reach. We
couple them with smart services, integrated via an intuitive and seamless user experience. We differentiate
these solutions offerings based on our in-depth consumer understanding, with a strong focus on social
location (people and places).

In a world where connecting people to what matters, empowers them to make the most of every moment.
Our ambition is to become the leading provider of mobile solutions

southwestern Finland to a global telecommunications leader.

selected as the new CEO of Nokia, the world's top cellphone maker.

Nokia's present chief, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo will hand over his duties to Elope on Sep 21,

the competition with rival companies like Apple or Google.

doubt that Sptephen Elop is a better communicator than Kallasvuo."

NOKIA
Nokia is the market leader of mobile industry in India. Nokia is multinational
company. So we can get knowledge that how one multinational company handles
their corporate culture. The second main reason for chosen this company is that I
have given my one assignment on the corporate culture of Nokia. So I am well
aware about the corporate culture of Nokia.
The other reason for chosen this company is that we want to know that that how in
multinational company, culture is conducive to organization. Nokia is also well known
company in corporate world for their corporate culture.
So because of above reason I have chosen Nokia company- to know about what
manifestation of corporate culture in Nokia company they have and how it conducive
to organization.
. The name Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town of the
same name (Nokia). The town and river are named after a small black marsupial
found in the early 19¶s.

WHAT MANIFESTATION OF CULTURE DID YOU FIND THEIR?
CORPORATE CULTURE
Corporate culture is the total sum of the values, customs, traditions
and meanings
that make a company unique.Corporate culture is often called "the character of an
organization" since it embodies the vision of the company¶s founders. The values of
a corporate culture influence the ethical standards within a corporation, as well as
managerial behavior.

Nokia's official corporate culture manifesto- The Nokia Way- emphasizes
the
speed and flexibility of decision-making in a flat, networked organization, although
the corporation's size necessarily imposes a certain amount of bureaucracy.
The official business language of Nokia is English. All documentation is
written
in English, and is used in official intra-company spoken communication
and e-
mail.
Until May 2007, the Nokia Values wereCustomer Satisfaction, Respect,
Achievement, and Renewal. In May 2007,
Nokia redefined its values after initiating a series of discussions worldwide as to
what the new values of the company should be. Based on the employee
suggestions, the new values were defined as:

Engaging You, Achieving Together, and Passion for Innovation and Very
Human.
Flexibility of decision making
Nokia's official corporate culture manifesto, The Nokia Way, emphasizes
speed
and flexibility of decision making in a flat, networked organization.
Equal opportunities and openness
Equal opportunities and openness are also stressed, along with management
leadership and employee participation. Nokia is a progressive and forward- thinking
mobile technology group spending millions on research and development and
priding itself on being "first to market" with new applications.
Among Nokians regardless of location Nokia Values are listed as:Customer
Satisfaction.
NOKIA SLOGAN AND RING TONE
The "Special" tone available to users of Nokia phones when receiving SMS (text
messages) is actually Morse code for "SMS". Similarly, the "Ascending" SMS tone is
Morse code for "Connecting People," Nokia's slogan. The ringtone "Nokia Tune"
(probably the world's most well-known ringtone) is actually based on a 19th-century
guitar work named "Gran Vals" by Spanish musician Francisco Tarrega. The Nokia
Tune was originally named "Gran Vals" on Nokia phones
The proper pronunciation of "Nokia" according to Finnish phonology is ['nokia], with
stress on the first syllable, and all vowels in the name being short and unreduced ²
there are no schwas ("a" [] or "uh" []). This creates problems for some, especially
English speakers
, who replace the vowels with schwas, as there are no direct equivalents
to the
Finnish short
CULTIVATING CORPORATE CULTURE
Nokia corporate culture is one of the company's strategic and competitive
advantages. Even the company's catch phrase, `Connecting People', is symbolic of
the culture, and helps define the purpose of its physical facilities. The company's
buildings feature lots of natural wood, large windows, warm colors and fabrics, open
floor plans, pedestrian bridges, game/recreation areas, fitness centers and saunas.
The physical beauty and climate of Finland was to be reflected in Nokia's new
corporate facility through the use of natural wood materials for interior spaces,
fountains, waterfalls and reflecting ponds, as well as the use of natural light.
IS THIS CULTURE CONDUCIVE TO ORGANISATION OR
NOT? JUSTIFY.
Its mean is this culture helpful for organization to achieve their goal or
not.
If we see this corporate culture that is about Nokia¶s official corporate
culture
manifesto, the Nokia way.
It is emphasizes the speed and flexibility of decision-making in a flat,
networked
organization ± Nokia.
Official language is English which gives similarity to all employees and
their

work.

They redefined their values for customer which gives them uniqueness.

Engaging You, Achieving Together, and Passion for Innovation and Very Human.
Equal opportunities and openness are also stressed, along with
management
leadership and employee participation.
So these all factor are helpful for organization growth. Nokia have well
maintained
corporate culture. By using all above facts that¶s help Nokia company to
grow.
So we can say that the corporate culture that is using by NokiaCompany is conducive
to organization. This corporate culture is really helpful in growing or achieving their
goal.
How do you communicate with the general public about the environmental
performance of your products? What is the impact of such environmental
communication on your company's sales?
For a company like Nokia with a global outreach, and
One of the brands most valued by consumers worldwide,
Environmental responsibility is an integral part of the
Company image.
We use several channels and our main tool is our Environmental Internet
site at
http://www.nokia.com/A4197009. Nokia´s environmental communication
is based
on facts and proofs of our work and achievements, as well as increasing consumer
awareness of key environmental issues such as the proper recycling of used devices
And in the future, what is Nokia¶s view on environmental issues?
Environmental issues will continue to increase in importance. In the long run, only
responsible companies and brands will succeed. Information andCommunication
Technology and mobile technology can also be used to combat climate change. For
instance replacing travelling by videoconference or loading music from the Web
instead of buying physicalCDs, which are produced, packed, stored and transported.
This can make a difference to energy and material consumption. Not only Nokia but
also mobile phone users can make a big difference through their own, individual
choices.
In the field of sustainable development, what is the general approach of
Nokia? Does India, the nationality of your company, inspire your policy?
Sustainability is integrated into all Nokia's business activities. As a leading
telecommunications company, Nokia has a lot of responsibility, and our aim is to be
a leader in environmental performance.. Nokia¶s environmental activities are based
on a life-cycle approach, taking into account the environmental impact of our
products from structure to important.. The key focus areas are material
management, energy efficiency and take back & recycling. The company's roots in
India give a solid basis to our environmental management, and are deeply
embedded in Nokia´s corporate culture and values .
