Lessons for attaining global competitiveness, one market at a time, from
international business giant Nokia
Winning Across Global Markets examines how 145-year-old Nokia grew from a paper
mill in Finland to a multinational telecommunications leader. Why are Nokia's lessons
critical for other companies and industries? While multinationals based in large countries
benefit from inherent advantages--such as a home base that often accounts for 30 to 50
percent of their revenues--multinationals based in smaller countries such as Nokia, enjoy
no such competitive edge. Nokia, in fact, generates less than 1% of its revenues in its
home base. To such a company, global competitiveness is a matter of life and death. With
unparalleled access to Nokia's leadership, Winning Across Global Markets reveals the
remarkable story of Nokia's resilience and endurance. Shows how Nokia's flexibility and
focus on its people and local markets drive its distinct global approach.
