    The Mobile Telephone Cluster in the Nordic Countries: Policies to Foster Innovation and Success through Provider Competition and Knowledge Alliance Development John L. Rice Dr Mark A. Shadur PhD Student Research Fellow School of Management School of Management Queensland University of Technology Queensland University of Technology GPO Box 2434 GPO Box 2434 Brisbane Queensland 4001 Brisbane Queensland 4001 Australia Australia Ph: + 61 7 3864 1345 Ph: + 61 7 3864 2053 Fax: + 61 7 3864 1766 Fax: + 61 7 3864 1766 Abstract The Nordic countries, and most especially Finland and Sweden, have been very successful in the development of international leadership in both mobile telephone penetration and mobile terminal and infrastructure manufacturing. Nokia and Ericsson are often discussed as world leaders in product design and innovation for both terminal and network infrastructure. Their success is the product of many years government focus in developing the mobile telecommunications industry as a whole, with a key policy aim of having a innovative manufacturing sector anchored within an advanced and demanding regional mobile telecommunications market. We examine here the policy and market environment in these countries that has supported the development of this highly vertically integrated and successful industry. Some attention has been given to the development of science parks, support of collaborative research that has supported both research and development and the development of a skilled labor market to assist firms growth. Less attention has been given to the success of government policies that have promoted the firms core technological competencies in supranational fora (most notably the promotion of firm competencies in the GSM standard) and the positive impact of the deregulated competitive telecommunications market, especially in Finland.

Final remarks 2 1.- INTRODUCTION The economy of Mexico has enjoyed strong macroeconomic fundamentals and positive rates of growth since 2001. This macroeconomic stability has reduced inflation and interest rates to record lows and has increased per capita income. Certain challenges in income equality and infrastructure modernization exist, which the current Government is tackling with positive success. The Government of President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012), has implemented a ten step program to continue to incentivise Mexico’s economy: tax reductions, fiscal incentives to small and medium size companies, simplified paperwork for companies wanting to trade internationally, Government support (5% of the amount companies pay) to the Mexican Social Security System, increasing the amount spent on the National Employment Program, the creation of an internet-based job fair, increase in the amount spent on Mexico’s National Petroleum Company (PEMEX) in order to upgrade gas ducts, modernise and create more jobs in the energy sector, provide more resources to promote growth in marginalised parts of the country, increase funding to the development banking sector.

  • The High Cost of Calling
    The High Cost of Calling Critical Issues in the Mobile Phone Industry November 2006 Joseph Wilde & Esther de Haan In today’s globalised world of instant communication, mobile phones are a nearly ubiquitous feature of everyday life in most developed and many developing countries. Ninety percent of the population of Western Europe now has access to a mobile phone, and mobile phone penetration in large Asian countries like China and India is rising exponentially. In 2006, mobile phone sales will reach a volume of 935 million handsets, representing a value of US $136 billion. This SOMO report covers the industry’s top five manufacturers of mobile phones, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson and LG, comparing the companies’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy with the results of SOMO-commissioned field research into the actual conditions at mobile phone factories in China, India, Thailand and the Philippines. Despite the clean image often portrayed by this high-tech industry, SOMO’s research at mobile phone production facilities reveals that conditions in handset factories can be appalling, especially among sub-tier suppliers of mobile phone component parts. This report documents the current situation in an industry where labourers work up to 72 hours a week with compulsory overtime, insecure employment contracts, unsafe factories, inadequate protection when working with hazardous materials, wages below the subsistence level, suppression of union rights and degrading treatment. This situation is complicated by the increasing complexity of mobile phone supply chains. Outsourced production of small component parts for handsets can often stretch into supply chains of nearly a dozen companies; the large name-brand companies have little oversight over this part of their supply chain and generally fail to take responsibility for the poor conditions there.
