Less stylish

applications and software’s and not on the outlook of their mobiles it is a
disadvantage for them as their turnover is getting lower and lower.
Heavy sets
o As discussed above youth wants slim and shady mobiles, but unfortunately Nokia
is unable to fulfill their desires because Nokia sets are very heavy as compared to
other cell phones
Mainly concentrating on phones and not on other product categories
o Nokia main weakness is that they are only manufacturing mobile phones and they
are not concentrating on any other product category such as laptops and other
appliances like all others are doing e.g. LG, SAMSUNG and SONY
11 | P a g e

buy cell phones in short the cellular market in Pakistan has a lot of profit so Nokia
can find a perfect market share.
Increase of mobile usage

of cell phones so the larger the usage larger the sales. And Nokia can increase its
market share by availing this opportunity.
Close cooperation with suppliers and intermediaries

them they have become loyal to the company and hence the company is positively
affected. Nokia gives them more incentives.
New demand created from the advancement of technology
o As technology comes in with company the demand is increased or we can say that
demand is created by new creations like Bluetooth, infrared and WIIFI.
o Threats
Competitors
o Every company has a threat from its competitors so does Nokia as other companies
are following all those aspects which a consumer wants so developing a point of
difference is very difficult it is a clear threat and tight competition.
o Its major competitors also have good market shares and people sometimes tend to
buy those mobiles so it a clear threat.
China Mobiles
o China mobiles are threat for all mobile companies as they are the cheapest now in
the market. They are copying all aspect of a good mobile and selling it on a low
cost so people are switching towards them instead of purchasing the original
mobile.
Saturation in Current market
o The market is not stable now days so it is a threat as doing business so Nokia is
being very defensive.
o Challenges of continuous Technological development
o As technology is with every one and all are producing a same kind of product with
almost same applications stalled it is threat for company as told earlier it is
difficult to make POD.
o Decision making process
o Normative decision- making process:
o The managers can make the decision according to the:
Rules
o Rules that are made when the company was established all the decision making is
done by strictly following these rules.
Regulation
o Set by the top management and everyone has to follow it while making a decision
because it helps the manger that they are not directly responsible to the results as
they were just following the instructions from their heads.
