    Analysis - Varied and Glamorous Beats Androgynous | Wireless Week 7/30/10 1:38 PM Analysis - Varied & Glamorous Beats Androgynous By Keith Mallinson Monday, December 3, 2007 Competition – still dominated by carriers providing voice services – is under pressure from disparate disruptive forces. Device vendors and others are seeking a share of service fees. The first notable success story in the mobile Internet was NTT DoCoMo’s iMode. It has a vertically integrated business model with the Japanese operator firmly in control of content delivery and payment systems versus device vendors, developers and publishers. DoCoMo was enlightened enough not to stifle market development by being greedy with its service fees. It benefits from the bigger pie with 30% of average revenue per user (ARPU) in non-voice services. RIM – with a stunning $56 billion market capitalization that’s equivalent to more than $5,000 per “CrackBerry” user – dominates corporate e-mail. With C-suite cachet, dual branding, ownership of the user interface (UI) and device revenues, it takes a substantial share of customer service fees. Annual revenues are $550 per subscriber. Apple is establishing similar power in the U.S. consumer market with its flourishing iPhone. According to Financial Times reporting, Apple takes 15% of AT&T’s service charges. That’s half as much again as the $400 purchase price, assuming two year’s worth of use at $60 ARPU. With at least 25% revenue sharing with O2 in the UK, Apple will collect 75% on top of the $550 tax-inclusive purchase price. Customers love the devices and don’t seem to mind the SIM locking that enables this redistribution of wealth; OK, maybe a small minority of hackers and ideologues might bawk.

This technological shift has caused a disruption in the industry and led to the demise of many incumbents as new firms entered the industry. We argue that the shift the mobile industry has gone through is not merely a technological one, but rather a paradigm shift from the old feature phone paradigm to the new smartphone paradigm. Further, this paradigm shift brings substantial changes; where the institutions and underlying logic as well as those competences and business models that are important differ between the two paradigms.
  • Apple and Nokia: the Transformation from Products to Services

    Apple and Nokia: the Transformation from Products to Services

    9 Apple and Nokia: The Transformation from Products to Services In the mid- to late 2000s, Nokia flourished as the world’s dominant mobile phone – and mobile phone operating software – producer. Founded in 1871 originally as a rubber boots manufacturer, by 2007 Nokia produced more than half of all mobile phones sold on the planet, and its Symbian mobile operating system commanded a 65.6 percent global market share. 1 But within half a decade, Nokia would falter and be surpassed in the smartphone market not only by Apple’s revolu- tionary iPhone but also by competitors including Google and Samsung. And in September 2013, Nokia would sell its mobile phone business to Microsoft for $7 billion. 2 Apple literally came out of nowhere – it sold exactly zero mobile phones before the year 2007 (the year Nokia held more than half of the global market share) – but by the first quarter of 2013, Apple had captured almost 40 percent of the US smartphone market and over 50 percent of the operating profit in the global handset industry.3 In fiscal year 2013, Apple would sell five times more smart- phones than Nokia: 150 million iPhones compared to Nokia’s sales of 30 million Lumia Windows phones. 4 In contrast to Nokia, Apple real- ized it wasn’t just about the mobile device itself, it was about leveraging software to create a platform for developing compelling mobile experi- ences – including not just telephony but also music, movies, applica- tions, and computing – and then building a business model that allows partners to make money alongside the company (e.g., Apple’s iTunes and AppStore) and, in so doing, perpetuate a virtuous cycle of making the iPhone attractive to customers over multiple life cycles through ever-ex- panding feature sets.
  • A Fugitive Success That Finland Is Quickly Becoming a Victim of Its Own Success

    A Fugitive Success That Finland Is Quickly Becoming a Victim of Its Own Success

    Professor Charles Sabel from Columbia Law School and Professor AnnaLee Saxenian from UC Berkeley argue in their book A Fugitive Success that Finland is quickly becoming a victim of its own success. In recent decades Finnish firms in the forest products and telecommunications industries have become world leaders. But the kind of discipline that made this success possible, and the public policies that furthered it, is unlikely to secure it in the future. Efficiency improvements and incremental A Fugitive Success innovations along the current business trajectory will gradually lead these industries into a dead-end unless they use innovation as a vehicle for transforming themselves into new higher value businesses. Saxenian and Sabel raise some serious concerns about the readiness of these industries, and the Finnish innovation system as a whole, for the needed transformation. A Fugitive Success is required reading for A Fugitive Success those involved in the development of the Finnish innovation environment and Finland’s Economic Future implementing the new national innovation strategy.
