Nokia holds a strategy and financial briefing in London on Friday, two weeks after it reported a 21 percent slump in fourth quarter earnings and Elop promised: "The industry's changed and now it's time for Nokia to change faster."

Engadget has reprinted a copy of the text from an internal Nokia memo from the CEO Elop to the company's employees. Here's over to the letter which several analysts have termed 'brutually honest'.

 

Hello there,

There is a pertinent story about a man who was working on an oil platform in the North Sea. He woke up one night from a loud explosion, which suddenly set his entire oil platform on fire. In mere moments, he was surrounded by flames. Through the smoke and heat, he barely made his way out of the chaos to the platform's edge. When he looked down over the edge, all he could see were the dark, cold, foreboding Atlantic waters.

As the fire approached him, the man had mere seconds to react. He could stand on the platform, and inevitably be consumed by the burning flames. Or, he could plunge 30 meters in to the freezing waters. The man was standing upon a "burning platform," and he needed to make a choice.

He decided to jump. It was unexpected. In ordinary circumstances, the man would never consider plunging into icy waters. But these were not ordinary times - his platform was on fire. The man survived the fall and the waters. After he was rescued, he noted that a "burning platform" caused a radical change in his behaviour.

We too, are standing on a "burning platform," and we must decide how we are going to change our behaviour.

Over the past few months, I've shared with you what I've heard from our shareholders, operators, developers, suppliers and from you. Today, I'm going to share what I've learned and what I have come to believe.

I have learned that we are standing on a burning platform.

And, we have more than one explosion - we have multiple points of scorching heat that are fuelling a blazing fire around us.

For example, there is intense heat coming from our competitors, more rapidly than we ever expected. Apple disrupted the market by redefining the smartphone and attracting developers to a closed, but very powerful ecosystem.

In 2008, Apple's market share in the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by 2010 it escalated to 61 percent. They are enjoying a tremendous growth trajectory with a 78 percent earnings growth year over year in Q4 2010. Apple demonstrated that if designed well, consumers would buy a high-priced phone with a great experience and developers would build applications. They changed the game, and today, Apple owns the high-end range.

And then, there is Android. In about two years, Android created a platform that attracts application developers, service providers and hardware manufacturers. Android came in at the high-end, they are now winning the mid-range, and quickly they are going downstream to phones under €100. Google has become a gravitational force, drawing much of the industry's innovation to its core.

Let's not forget about the low-end price range. In 2008, MediaTek supplied complete reference designs for phone chipsets, which enabled manufacturers in the Shenzhen region of China to produce phones at an unbelievable pace. By some accounts, this ecosystem now produces more than one third of the phones sold globally - taking share from us in emerging markets.

While competitors poured flames on our market share, what happened at Nokia? We fell behind, we missed big trends, and we lost time. At that time, we thought we were making the right decisions; but, with the benefit of hindsight, we now find ourselves years behind.

The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don't have a product that is close to their experience. Android came on the scene just over 2 years ago, and this week they took our leadership position in smartphone volumes. Unbelievable.

We have some brilliant sources of innovation inside Nokia, but we are not bringing it to market fast enough. We thought MeeGo would be a platform for winning high-end smartphones. However, at this rate, by the end of 2011, we might have only one MeeGo product in the market.

At the midrange, we have Symbian. It has proven to be non-competitive in leading markets like North America. Additionally, Symbian is proving to be an increasingly difficult environment in which to develop to meet the continuously expanding consumer requirements, leading to slowness in product development and also creating a disadvantage when we seek to take advantage of new hardware platforms. As a result, if we continue like before, we will get further and further behind, while our competitors advance further and further ahead.

At the lower-end price range, Chinese OEMs are cranking out a device much faster than, as one Nokia employee said only partially in jest, "the time that it takes us to polish a PowerPoint presentation." They are fast, they are cheap, and they are challenging us.

And the truly perplexing aspect is that we're not even fighting with the right weapons. We are still too often trying to approach each price range on a device-to-device basis.

The battle of devices has now become a war of ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising, search, social applications, location-based services, unified communications and many other things. Our competitors aren't taking our market share with devices; they are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem. This means we're going to have to decide how we either build, catalyse or join an ecosystem.

This is one of the decisions we need to make. In the meantime, we've lost market share, we've lost mind share and we've lost time.

On Tuesday, Standard & Poor's informed that they will put our A long term and A-1 short term ratings on negative credit watch. This is a similar rating action to the one that Moody's took last week. Basically it means that during the next few weeks they will make an analysis of Nokia, and decide on a possible credit rating downgrade. Why are these credit agencies contemplating these changes? Because they are concerned about our competitiveness.

Consumer preference for Nokia declined worldwide. In the UK, our brand preference has slipped to 20 percent, which is 8 percent lower than last year. That means only 1 out of 5 people in the UK prefer Nokia to other brands. It's also down in the other markets, which are traditionally our strongholds: Russia, Germany, Indonesia, UAE, and on and on and on.

How did we get to this point? Why did we fall behind when the world around us evolved?

This is what I have been trying to understand. I believe at least some of it has been due to our attitude inside Nokia. We poured gasoline on our own burning platform. I believe we have lacked accountability and leadership to align and direct the company through these disruptive times. We had a series of misses. We haven't been delivering innovation fast enough. We're not collaborating internally.

Nokia, our platform is burning.

We are working on a path forward -- a path to rebuild our market leadership. When we share the new strategy on February 11, it will be a huge effort to transform our company. But, I believe that together, we can face the challenges ahead of us. Together, we can choose to define our future.

The burning platform, upon which the man found himself, caused the man to shift his behaviour, and take a bold and brave step into an uncertain future. He was able to tell his story. Now, we have a great opportunity to do the same.

Stephen.

A Divisive Indian Official Is Loved by Businesses

By HEATHER TIMMONS

GANDHINAGAR, India — In a soaring, unfinished conference hall in western India, thousands of businessmen and diplomats from around the world gathered recently for an investment meeting. They were there to pay homage to a politician for accomplishing something once thought almost impossible in India: making it easy to do business.

Sam Panthaky/Agence France - Presse Narendra Modi, chief minister of the state of Gujarat, spoke at a conference last month that was meant to promote business.

The politician, Narendra Modi, the chief minister of the state of Gujarat, sat onstage, stroking his close-cropped white beard, as executives from the United States, Canada, Japan and elsewhere showered him with praise. Ron Somers, head of an American trade group, called him a progressive leader. Michael Kadoorie, a Hong Kong billionaire, enveloped him in a hug. "I would encourage you all to invest here," Mr. Kadoorie, chairman of the Asian power company CLP Group, told the audience, "because it has been an even playing field for me."

Bombardier The Canadian company Bombardier built a manufacturing plant in Savli, Gujarat, in 18 months, "a world record within Bombardier," one executive said.

The coastal state of Gujarat, famous as the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, has become an investment magnet. The state's gross domestic product is growing at an 11 percent annual rate — even faster than the overall growth rate for India, which despite its problems is zipping along at 9 percent clip. And Mr. Modi receives — some would say claims — much of the credit. The year before he took office in 2001, Gujarat's economy shrank by 5 percent. But critics of Mr. Modi, a Hindu nationalist, point to another legacy of his early days in office — something that has made him one of the most polarizing figures in Indian politics. Months after he became chief minister, Gujarat erupted in brutal Hindu-Muslim riots that killed more than 1,000 people, most of them Muslims. Despite Mr. Modi's subsequent denials, he has not fully escaped a cloud of accusations by rival political groups, victims and their families, and human rights groups that he and his aides condoned the attacks against Muslims and — as one case now before the Supreme Court charges — may even have encouraged them. A special investigation team formed by the Supreme Court has filed a 600-page investigative report on the riots, which has not been officially released. Numerous other lawsuits related to the riots are also winding through India's courts. In 2005 the United States refused to grant Mr. Modi a visa, on grounds of religious intolerance. Meanwhile, environmental activists and local tribesman who have been protesting the construction of seven dams in Gujarat that will displace 25,000 people say they the protesters have been regularly jailed by the state police, charged with being Naxalites, a militant rebel group. Mr. Modi, who has declined interview requests from The New York Times for several years, did not comment for this article. Of the lingering controversies, a spokesman for Mr. Modi, Steven King, with the Washington public relations firm APCO Worldwide, wrote in an e-mail responding to questions: "The government has very highly developed grievance proceedings." Corporate executives, though, tend to concentrate on Mr. Modi's pro-business attributes, which they see as something of an anomaly in an India where government bureaucracy, bumbling or corruption too often impedes commerce. "In India there is a sense that efficiency is at such a premium because there is so little to go around," said Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell who has served as an adviser to the Indian government. "When people find an effective politician who can make things happen on the ground, they are willing to ignore the character flaws." Under Mr. Modi's watch, the energy companies Royal Dutch Shell and Total have opened a major liquid natural gas terminal in Gujarat, and Torrent Power, an Indian company, has built a huge power plant. Meanwhile, Tata Motors, DuPont, General Motors, Hitachi and dozens of other foreign and Indian companies have built factories, expanded operations or invested in projects in the state. When the Canadian heavy machinery company Bombardier won a contract to supply subway cars to the Delhi Metro in 2007, it needed a factory site, quickly. It found one in Savli, an industrial estate in Gujarat. Just 18 months later— when in many parts of India, the permit process might still be grinding away — the factory was built and operating. "It was incredible," said Rajeev Jyoti, the managing director of Bombardier in India, "and it was a world record within Bombardier." Compared with most other states, Gujarat has smoother roads and less garbage next to the streets. More than 99 percent of Gujarat's villages have electricity, compared with less than 85 percent nationally. In 2009, Gujarat attracted more planned investment than any other state in the country, about $54 billion by value of announced plans, according to Assocham, a trade association of Indian chambers of commerce. Mr. Modi, who has no business or economics background, deserves praise for this, corporate leaders say. Before entering politics in his late 30s, he was a religious volunteer for the Hindu nationalist group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which sponsors schools and provides aid during natural disasters, but has also been widely criticized as being intolerant of other religions and of secular Hindus. In India, where corrupt politicians often seem to be raiding the public coffers to benefit their offspring, Mr. Modi's success is sometimes attributed to his lack of a family life. Mr. Modi's administration has brought novel solutions to some of India's most tenacious problems. Corruption became less widespread after the state government put a large amount of its activities online, from permits that companies need to build or expand, to bids for contracts. To plow through a multiyear backlog of court cases, and prevent day laborers from losing income, Mr. Modi asked judges to work extra hours in night courts. Mr. Modi uses a chief executive style of managing the bureaucrats who work under him, according to associates and business executives in Gujarat. He gives promising people positions of responsibility, sets goals and expects people to meet them. Nonperformers are pushed aside.

The state of Gujarat has become an investment magnet. It may seem an obvious way to administer a state with more than 50 million people and a budget in the billions of dollars. But this approach runs counter to India's tradition of cronyism. In a recent reshuffle of India's national cabinet ministers, for example, the minister of highways who substantially missed targets for road-building was made minister for urban development, a crucial position for a rapidly urbanizing nation struggling to build livable cities. Even in another state considered pro-business, Tamil Nadu in the south, the ruling party, D.M.K., has been dogged by accusations of corruption. In Mr. Modi's case, the accolades once would have been unthinkable. After the Hindu-Muslim riots a decade ago, he was considered a liability for his political party, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. But these days, with Gujarat's soaring economy, Mr. Modi is sometimes mentioned as his party's most likely candidate for prime minister in 2014, when the next general election is expected.

Despite his lack of executive experience, Mr. Modi's supporters credit him with a politician's innate sense of marketing. Images of Mr. Modi were plastered on billboards throughout Gujarat during the investment summit meeting, proclaiming the state's support not only for investment but for social programs like support of girls' education — a particularly important subject in India where there is a large literacy gap between men and women. Within Gujarat, which has a centuries-old reputation for business acumen, even Mr. Modi's fans sometimes grumble that he and his image makers may be taking outsize credit for its economic growth. And they say that the headline numbers that Mr. Modi's government trumpets can be misleading. For example, the $450 billion in "memorandums of understanding" - essentially, pledges to do business in the state — that the government says were signed during the January investment summit meeting double-count some deals, according to businessmen in attendance, because they include loans and investments for the same projects. Mr. Modi's spokesman confirmed there might be some redundancy in the $450 billion figure, but said it was impossible to break out the loans from the investments. Yet, no one disputes Gujarat's rapid growth. And Mr. Modi's supporters say India's economic success will depend on each state's adopting many of the same measures he has employed. India's central government may apportion budgets and write overall laws, they say, but it is the states that are responsible for overseeing everything from land allocation to electricity distribution. "If you are an investor in India," said Mr. Somers, of the United States trade group, "Gujarat must be at the top of your list."

Every Indian Should See This - The Great Indian Nuclear Debacle

Hello Friends,

You are aware that our government is all set to set up HUGE nuclear plants in our country. They say they do this for development. They also (make us) believe that Nuclear Power is the ONLY means by which India can become a super-power.
 
This claim itself is ridiculous.

Anyway, even if we consider that India is going to become a super-power (by 2020), there is no logic in the fact that to become a super-power, adopting Nuclear Energy is the ONLY way out. America didn't develop because it used Nuclear Energy. Europe didn't. They were super powers due to their strong economic measures (which is totally a different story, and can be discussed some other time).
Australia never built a Nuclear Power plant. It is a developed country we all wish to visit/settle in!
 
The attached presentation is an attempt to expose what the mainstream media doesn't - on purpose. It will take you through the health impacts of Nuclear Radiation, which are a necessary evil in the Nuclear business. It will also tell you about India's Nuclear (development) plan. In the end it will talk about how with simple energy conservation measures, and be developing Renewable sources of energy, India can actually answer its demand for electricity!

Important messages from the wise masters. ( from Sai Philosophy )

 

 

Ten Commandments for Peace of Mind

 

In the modern age, it would appear that most of us are in a state of perpetual restlessness despite enjoying good health care and basic economic security. Analysing the causes of this restlessness has led me to find ten solutions to attain peace of mind. I have called them "ten commandments" because they need to be followed religiously if we are sincere in achieving perfect peace of mind.

 

Here they are with brief explanations:-

 

1 Do not interfere in others' business unless asked - Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs.

 

We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God. God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because they are prompted that way by the God within them. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business you will keep your peace.

 

2 Forget and forgive - This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind.

 

We, often develop ill feeling inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This, in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcer and high blood pressure. The insult or injury was done once but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Believe in the justice of God and the doctrine of Karma. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forget, forgive and march on.

 

3 Do not crave for recognition - This world is full of selfish people.

 

They seldom praise anybody without selfish motive. They may praise you today because you are in power but no sooner you are powerless they will forget your achievement and start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yourself in striving for their recognition? They are not worth it. Do your duties ethically and sincerely and leave the rest to God.

 

4 Do not be jealous - We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind.

 

You know you work harder than your colleagues in the office but they get promotions, you do not. You started a business several years ago but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in every walk of life. Should you be jealous?

No, remember everybody's life is shaped by his previous Karma, which has now become his destiny. If you are destined to be rich, not all the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere, will only give you restlessness.

 

5 Change yourself according to the environment - If you try to change the environment single handedly, the chances are you may fail.

 

Instead, change yourself to suit the environment. As you do this, even the environment which has remained unfriendly for you will mysteriously appear to be congenial and harmonious.

 

6 Endure what cannot be cured - This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage.

 

Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations and accidents which are beyond our control. We must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully thinking, "God will it so, so be it". God's logic is beyond our comprehension. Believe it and you will gain in

patience, in inner strength, in will-power.

 

7 Do not bite more than you can chew - This maxim needs to be remembered constantly.

 

We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable to carry out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. If you have extra time, then spend it in an inward life of prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. Fewer the thoughts, greater is the peace of mind.

 

8 Meditate regularly - Meditation makes the mind thoughtless.

 

This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour every day, you will tend to become calm during the remaining twenty three and a half hours. Your mind will not be disturbed as much as before. You must gradually increase the period of daily meditation. You may think this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will turn out more work in less time.

 

9 Never leave the mind vacant - Empty mind is the devil's workshop.

 

All evil deeds start in the mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more; money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or temple work may not always earn you more money but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even if you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name (Japa).

 

10 Do not procrostinate and never regret - Do not waste time in wondering "should I or shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating.

 

You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Always remember God has His own plan too. Value your time and do things. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can rectify your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Take it as the will of God. You do not have the power to alter the course of God's will. Why cry over the spilt milk?

 

MAY GOD HELP YOU REMAIN AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF AND THE WORLD

The State of the Internet Q3_2010 by Akamai - Very Interesting

Dear All,

 

Here is one very much interesting and very much informative reports from Akamai over Internet penetration in various countries and cities across the globe.

 

Some findings are really interesting like:-

          à       Maximum attack traffic originated from United States, Russia and China which are 12%, 8.9% & 8.2% respectively.

à       In the list of top 100 cities having fastest internet connection, 61 are from Japan and 13 from South Korea. With South Korea only in top 10 & cities of these two countries only are there in Top 45!!!

          à       When it comes to Broadband Connection Speed, 72% connections in South Korea having average speed more than 5 MB, where as 60% connections in Japan having Avg. speed of more than 5 MB.

          à       All 13 Cities of South Korea having peak internet speed between 57MB to 37 MB !!! and 60 Cities of Japan reported peak internet speed between 47MB to 26 MB.

 

It is good that all cities of US, Russia and China don’t have very fast internet connectivity; else Attack traffic may create big issue across the globe.

 

Last few pages of report are on Mobile Connectivity & finally don’t forget to check Endnotes on the page 31, which is having links to few other good reports and news on same topic.
