NOKIA AND FINLAND IN A SEA OF CHANGE
In
the 1990s, Nokia became a leader in the global cell phone market. The
stellar growth of Nokia contributed significantly to the Finnish national
economy, especially to GDP growth, exports and the R&D system.
The
first years of the 21st century have witnessed a massive relocation of
electronics manufacturing from Europe and the U.S. to Asia and other
low-cost regions via the emergence of global supply chains. The Finnish
ICT cluster and the national economy as a whole have been influenced by
this transformation in many ways.
The book “Nokia and
Finland in a Sea of Change”, edited by Jyrki Ali-Yrkkö,
offers four complementary perspectives on the global ICT transformation
and the role of Nokia in the Finnish economy:
-
What is Nokia’s contribution to the growth and
restructuring of the Finnish economy?
-
How have the manufacturing supplier networks of
Nokia changed during the 2000s?
-
Is the innovative dominance of Nokia in Finland
a unique phenomenon in international comparison?
-
Where is the value added of high-tech products
such as mobile phones created, and who captures the value?
