Introduction
Explaining organizational agility through the use of a case study about NOKIA.
1.Evolution in five phases (1988 – 2012)2.Adaptive Cycle according to the phases3.The use of Virtual Organizations4.The impact of the organizational structure on the agility

Nokia went through significant changes in the recent years and fits well with the different phases in the Adaptive Cycle.
Why NOKIA?
About NOKIA
• Finnish multinational communications and information technology corporation• 122000 employees across 120 countries• Annual revenue of € 38 billion
2
I. Crisis era (1988-1992) II.Entrepreneurial era (1993-1997) III.Equilibrium era (1998-2004) IV.Transition era (2004-2008) V.Crisis era 2 (2009-2012)
Five Phases of NOKIA
3
• Nokia underestimated how intensely competitive the telecom business was
• Nokia had ambition to internationalize and diversify
• Nokia expanded by making new acquisitions, based on their large telecom business in the USSR
Phase I (1988 - 1992)
4
Cause:
• Collapse of Soviet Union
• CEO committed suicide
Change:
• Split-up into handset and network businesses.
• Fully digitalization of networks(Pioneer)
Phase I (1988 - 1992)
5
• Production and Sales needed to meet Nokia financial targets
• Nokia Mobile Phones faced major difficulties in operations,logistics and sourcing
• The supply chain wasn't prepared for the demand, propelling them into a "logistics crisis”
Phase II (1993 - 1997)
6
"The crisis increased leadership unity in NMP and within corporate management, as it was seen as a "growing pain" - a toxic side-effect of exploding growth - not as a failure management."
Importance to redesign the supply system to more disciplined and structured approach
• Implementation of an integrated ERP system
• Nokia realized that a more formal process of managing growth was required
Phase II: Logistics Crisis
7
Nokia was concerned that it would miss new growth opportunities. So they came to two conclusions:
• Intellectual Leadership was introduced in 1995 that led to the creation of new ventures and research and established in 1998 Nokia Venture Organization as their home
• Nokia realized they needed a third core business, however this was considered to be too daunting of a process. Instead they focused on strategic evolution and renewal of the core business
Phase III (1998 - 2004)
8
Organizational Structure:
Phase III (1998 - 2004)
9
• Market growth slowed down in 2001
• Competition became more severe
• Market share dropped from 35% to 30% from 2002 to 2005
This lead to a new organizational structure, segmenting into nine value domains:
Phase III: 2001 Disruption
10
Phase III: 2001 Disruption
11
• Seasoned leader executives resigned, due to the new interdependent matrix structure
• The different domains started losing their capability to cooperate together
• In 2006 the management team was rebuilt and Nokia announced it would merge its network division with Siemens
Phase IV: (2004 - 2008)
12
Phase IV: The 2006 Structural Change
13
• Couldn't compete with disruptive innovations by competitors in the smartphone marketo iPhoneo Android
• New competitors arrived in the networks marketo ZTE and Huawei (China)
Phase V: Present
14
• Nokia responded to the smartphone threat, however they did not respond to the services delivered next to the smartphones.
• Symbian OS did not have an app market like Google Play or the App Store.
• Symbian OS was not built for touchscreen navigation, this resulted in Nokia having to play catch-up.
• In the networks market, the new competitors have competitive pricing.
Phase V: Present
15
Phase V: Organizational Structure
16
• Nokia has a virtual organizations policy since 2008
• Close cooperation with Microsoft, where Microsoft develops the software (Windows Phone 8) and Nokia focuses on the devices
Virtual Organization
