Can Nokia Pull Ahead Of Research In Motion? [View article]
I hear so many people talk of RIM's rock solid security email, but few remember this is and was all based on BES servers, and BB10 / BES10 will all be based on EAS for email and PIM, so does this not level the playing field and make them no different then all the other MDM vendors?
Nokia (NOK) signs a deal to sell its headquarters in Finland to scrounge up more cash. The home for Nokia's top execs sold for $221.9M. A statement from the company acknowledges it needs to continue to sell non-core assets as opportunities arise. [View news story]
That is too bad since Nokia was their money pit for many years

Maybe the Finnish government should give them a big tax break since they gave them billions of tax money over a long time, so as to help them get back on their feet!
Nokia (NOK) is seeking to block the sale of most RIM (RIMM) products in the U.S., Canada and U.K. through the enforcement of the ruling of an arbitrator, which found in favor of the Finnish company in a dispute over patents related to its wireless local access network (WLAN) technology. The arbitrator, the firm says, ruled that RIM is "not entitled to manufacture or sell WLAN products without first agreeing royalties with Nokia." [View news story]

Just hold on and wait for it to turn around I bought in at $5.60 thinking they had hit bottom, but NSN is doing well now, Nevteq is doing well, and WP8 will overtime do well also. Mr. Elop had no choice but to dump Symban and go with another OS.
Ford's (F) ability to avert bankruptcy and its recovery are due to its "One Ford" strategy in which it sells the same products globally. However, the policy has had mixed success in China, where GM and VW dominate by selling cars that cater to local tastes. One problem is that Ford's cars are expensive, although the company is developing a "Value B" sub-$10,000 compact. Still, Ford's David Schoch worries that the company isn't moving fast enough.

Alan is moving at just the right pace, you don't fix decades of mistakes over night and he is working on a long term strategy which other could learn from!

Most of Nokia's restructuring cost will be completed by the end of Q4 2012 and I believe in Q1 2013 with the launch of new WP8 devices in Q4 for AT&T, Verizon & T-Mobile you will see profits coming back. Mr. Elop had a very big job fixing years of miss management and waste, you could compare Nokia with Ford in that both where in decline, and needed someone to step in and make major changes.

Sorry they are not yet the Titanic, but could be if they take their eyes off the road and get complacent in their current position as many companies do and have done!

Microsoft is into the new Mobile space for the long haul and Nokia is going to ride their coat tails. Nokia had no choice back in early 2011, keep spending money on MeeGo and hope to beat Android or go with Microsoft who thru them a life jacket. Nokia had some really bad management back in 2007 - 2010 that had no vision and discounted the iPhone and Android's devices, because the Symbian team had so much power! Nokia is just like many companies that got too big and then cannot manage them self’s and become Titanic’s and end up hitting icebergs, while companies that are lean like Apple speed thru the iceberg field with a speedboat.

Well your young and have no engineering experience and will learn that things don't change overnight, we have been in a short term thinking mode for many years and this is why we get our A$$'s kicked by Asia companies!

Alan is doing exactly what needed to be done to Ford as with many other companies, trim it down to a lean machine with focus on their main products (Building Fords cars & Trucks). Ford over extended itself back in the early 90's by buying auto companies that were in trouble and at the time they had the cash to do it but they also over extended themselves. When cash got tight they had too many products to service, but this is what happens when a CEO goes on a buying binge for companies when they are flush with cash.
So if you understand his thinking and vision Alan's is not done making Ford lean, clean and mean! His style of management should be taught at Harvard Business School. Just watch Ford Rebuilding an American Icon and learn what it takes to be a turnaround CEO (leader)

Stephen Elop should be given great credit for stepping into a pile of doo doo, that was left behind by others before him that wasted resources and money on worthless ventures. People criticize him for dumping Symbian OS, but it was losing market share in the smartphones fast and was only still making money in the lower end market. Internal people warned management back in 2008 that Linux OS was the way to go and the Symbian people squashed almost all efforts to change. He still has a long way to go in fixing a mess and I wish him well in it. By the way Navteq mapping was the one purchase they made that was worth it, and is now showing the world that it is a leading in mapping and navigation.

I agree with this article, in that Ford has made major changes in fixing their problems and is not done with changing this company into a real competitor. They have the best CEO for the job and his approach is something other CEO's who really are interested in turning a company around should follow. I wanted to buy it at $2.00 a share and was advised against it, well look at it now and then when the world is out of this big financial mess. He still has some work to do on Lincoln brand to find a nitch market for them and models that people want. I think the 2013 MKZ will be a hot seller this year. so I am in for the long haul
I like the new Lincoln MKZ, but I think Lincon needs a better solution for the MKZ & MKT, neither crossover does anything to excite me.
I would love to see Lincoln make a MKZ Sportswagon like BMW wagons or Audi A3 Sportswagons, I think there are a lot of people that want a car but need a little more and less of an SUV
