I guess you haven´t detected
of NokiaLand before? The naming NokiaLand has to do with the worlds big-gest phone manufacturer Nokia and Finland, the country it comes from.
Nokia
Nokia has not always been a earth leader in cell phones, digital technologies, telecommunications networks, wireless data solutions and high school
gadgets like the Nokia 770 Cyberspace Tablet. Several 100 years ago the institution was manufacturing paper, toilet paper, galoshes, tires and raincoats.
Finland
Thanks to Nokia European nation has become one of the fastest-growing and most prosperous economies in Europe. And Nokia phones have a dominant market position on its house market. This is why European nation is sometimes referred to as NokiaLand.
In the Decade European nation was better best-known for its paper and pulp industries and long dark winters. At the same time Nokia ready-made the decision to shift its institution focus from timber, tires, and rubber boots to mobile phones. Nice come - now the institution sells much phones than any different institution in the world.
The Nokia success story had an large
impact on the finnish economy. Nokia accumulated the finnish GDP by much than 1.5 pct in 1999 alone. In 2004 Nokia's share of the Finnish GDP was 3.5 pct and accounted for all but a quarter of Finnish exports in 2003. Last year much than 20 000 folk were employed by Nokia in European nation which is roughly 2 pct of the folk in the Finnish business sector. As well several diminutive companies such as Perlos have fully grown into large ones as Nokia subcontractors.
As Nokia´s profits grew, the Nokia share cost accumulated and this as well created a large number of new really rich households in NokiaLand – thanks to Nokia.
The President
Believe it or not there was a private secret plan several 5 years ago in NokiaLand to put Jorma Ollila, CEO of Nokia as president of Finland. This did not activity out, but if it had we for certain would-be have had our NokiaLand. The story was disclosed once
Sauli Niinistö publicised his memoirs this summer. He writes that he had asked Jorma Ollila, the chief executive of Nokia, to run for president in the 2000 presidential election. According to Mr Niinistö, Mr Ollila pondered over the matter once
Niinistö ready-made him the offer in the spring of 1999. As we all cognize Mr Ollila didn´t go for it!
