COMMENTARY
Does anyone remember quaint little textile company called Levi Strauss & Co? They had the image and they had the manufacturing. They lost their image by diversifying into low-end products (trying to improve their market share) and by loosing ground for more cost-effective manufacturers. They still haven’t been able to make a real comeback.
I see the biggest threat for Nokia in this manufacturing and volume-based business model. They are in danger to slide off from the image map of consumers. Soon everybody has a cheap Nokia and the real money comes from short product runs and light development cycles, just like fashion. Could it be?
