The Norwegian Who Became Asian The Norwegian who became Asian An interview with Tore Johnsen, on his journey with Telenor through Asia. “The CEO from Hell” is what one Malaysian reporter called him - a play on words due to his birthplace in Hell, Norway. But for Telenor, Tore Johnsen has been a godsend. He is the only Telenor employee to have served as CEO in nearly all Asian Business Units, with the exception of Uninor, and has played a critical role in the company’s journey in Asia. Tore’s international adventures began in 1994, when his career in the mobile division of Telenor took him to Pannon, now known as Telenor Hungary. And even though Tore was forced to miss out on the Olympic Games hosted in Norway that year, this small taste of working abroad must have sparked something in him. “I wanted to take part in Telenor’s international journey, starting in Europe. And when the opportunity came in Asia, I got on board,” explains Tore. Exploring Asia opportunities Tore moved to Singapore in 1999, at a time with Grameenphone had already been secured but the company’s strategy on Asia was still unclear, Tore says. His initial task was to help Telenor explore opportunities in the region. “We entered Asia at a time of financial crisis, when quite a number of the European operators were actually pulling out because of what they saw as an uncertain future. Telenor saw this as an opportunity,” says Tore. Mobile phone penetration levels were still quite low in Asia at the time, while development in Europe had happened quite rapidly. Telenor had already built up a great deal of competence in Norway, and the company saw the opportunity to take this knowledge to Asia and grow the market. “There are always risks when doing business abroad, but I think this (entry into Asia) was a controlled risk. We did our homework and there were some markets that we looked into that didn’t materialize. So yes, it was a bit risky…but not too risky,” explains Tore. Tore’s CEO-era In 2001 Tore was offered the job as CEO of DiGi, starting a new phase in his life at the helm of one of Telenor’s Asian operators. He stayed for four years, got married, and was then called to Pakistan. He was CEO for another four years, followed by two-and-a-half years with dtac and two years with Grameenphone. Twelve years as CEO in four different Telenor business units put Tore on a cultural ride unlike anything he had ever experienced. Throughout this journey, he brought with him a dose of his own Norwegian humility and the company culture of Telenor, rooted in Norway. “I am not a general. I set out to build relationships and build companies with the local people, rather than going into the country and telling them how to do things. I think that’s quite important. I have learned a lot and I am still learning,” says Tore. Committed to Asia for the long-term With nearly 50% of Telenor’s revenues today coming from the Asia region, the company is committed for the long-haul, to both its Asian markets and its people. And while mobile penetration in Europe is bursting at the seams, Asia still represents great growth potential for Telenor, especially when looking Telenor Group is one of the world's major mobile operators. We keep our customers connected in our markets across Scandinavia and Asia. Our more than 30,000 employees are committed to responsible business conduct and being our customers' favourite partner in digital life. Connecting the world has been Telenor's domain for more than 160 years, and we are driven by a singular vision: to empower societies. beyond traditional voice. “We see great opportunity for not only traditional voice growth, but data growth as well. We aim to provide internet access to everyone in our Asian markets in order to build a digital future for everyone. I think Asia is ready for this, but it’s not happening at the same speed in each market. “In Pakistan, for instance, we need to work on internet awareness, helping people understand the positive sides of the internet. Our business has brought a lot of efficiencies to our markets…from helping farmers who want to sell their products on the market to setting up online schools for children in rural areas. This is growth,” says Tore. The future Tore Johnsen has no plans for a one-way ticket back to Hell anytime soon. Telenor’s growth journey in Asia is still something that he is very much a part. He turns 67 at the end of next year, the official retirement age in Norway. But Tore doesn’t really seem like to type to every fully “retire”. He represents a unique and valuable source of knowledge in Telenor Group; he’s a Norwegian who has become Asian in a way. “I’ve come to Asia to stay, even after I finish in Telenor. It’s my home as much as Norway,” says Tore. “And there are still so many opportunities to explore, within the markets we are already present in Asia…so I’ll see what happens. I’m not done yet.” Telenor Group is one of the world's major mobile operators. We keep our customers connected in our markets across Scandinavia and Asia. Our more than 30,000 employees are committed to responsible business conduct and being our customers' favourite partner in digital life.

  • Telenor Registers Three-Digit Growth in Data Roaming Across Europe
    Telenor registers three-digit growth in data roaming across Europe Remarkable growth in data roaming presumably comes as a result of making roaming services more affordable and easier to use, and a growing need of consumers to stay connected. “The trend is the same across our European markets – there is a three-digit increase in the amount of data consumed by our customers while travelling abroad. At the same time we see a smaller increase in voice traffic. This growth is a result of our initiatives introduced across European markets to make it more affordable and simpler to use mobile services abroad, but also consumers’ need stay connected on the move, something that our customers obviously value,” says Kjell-Morten Johnsen, Head of Europe at Telenor Group. “Our existing roaming offer is just a start of our company-wide retail roaming initiative announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March this year," he continues. In Norway, Telenor registered 103% growth in mobile data usage abroad in July 2015, compared to the same month last year, with Sweden, Denmark and Spain as top roaming destinations. Telenor Sweden reports that every other customer roamed when abroad, compared to 1 of 3 last summer. The total increase in data usage has reached impressive 300%. During vacation Swedes spend their megabytes on entertainment and sharing, with YouTube, web-streaming (for example Facebook), Spotify and Netflix, as some of the most visited sites. Denmark, Norway and Spain are the top destinations. Telenor Group is one of the world's major mobile operators. We keep our customers connected in our markets across Scandinavia and Asia.

  • An Assessment of NFC Mobile Payment As a Potential Differentiator in Telenor Nordics and Central East Europe
    An Assessment of NFC Mobile Payment as a Potential Differentiator in Telenor Nordics and Central East Europe Silje Hornnes Mauseth Industrial Economics and Technology Management Submission date: June 2015 Supervisor: Per Jonny Nesse, IØT Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management Problem description Describe selected NFC mobile payment services offered worldwide and examine their level of success and success factors. Assess different Telenor markets within the Nordics and Central East Europe in terms of NFC mobile payment and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the investigated markets and initiatives. Propose recommendations to be followed by Telenor based on the identified strengths and weaknesses to guide their NFC strategy and use of NFC mobile payment as a source of differentiation. I II Preface This master thesis is written during the spring of 2015 in connection with the finalising of a five-year Master’s degree in Industrial Economics and Technology Management at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU. The thesis is a part of the academic specialisation within the field of Strategy and International Business Development, and is partially a continuation of the pre-diploma thesis written during the autumn of 2014 covering differentiation. The master thesis is written in cooperation with Telenor and aims to investigate NFC mobile payment initiatives as a way to develop recommendations to guide Telenor in their strategy and efforts regarding NFC mobile payment. In addition to providing Telenor with useful insight about NFC mobile payment services, the study has an academic approach by examining general success factors of mobile payment services and suggests a general framework for assessing such initiatives.
