Strategies for Growth and Excellence

Question: Discuss about the Strategies for Growth and Excellence. Answer: Introduction: Nokia 3310 was a GSM mobile phone that was launched in 2000 and had discontinued in the year 2005[1]. It was an iconic phone and a total of 126 million units have been sold and had changed the whole mobile phone industry. During the time, this mobile piece had several features that are new in the mobile industry like- Nokia network monitor, calculatorand stop watch along with a reminder function1. However, after 17 years the Nokia 3310, worlds most beloved phone finally gets an official release date[2]. Though, I think this topic can be a good topic for debate- whether people purchase this new and developed Nokia 3310 in the era of Smartphone. Nokia provide features like 1.5-inch color screen, 2.5G network, facility of 1 month standby time, 1 day of talk time and snake in their developed Nokia 33102. However, most of the people will not prefer to purchase this product due to lack of essential features like Wi-Fi, 4G, app store, Android OS and major application like Facebook, WhatsApp and YouTube. Moreover, I think that people can use this phone as a secondary mobile device that can be used for emergency. Furthermore, I would like to say that Nokia have also planned for competing with contemporary Smartphone companies by developing Nokias flagship Android Smartphone. Additionally, another aspect of debate is the sustainability of the Nokia mobile phones. In this case customer should evaluate whether this device use less energy, efficient recharge process, no use of the toxic or hazardous materials and whether the material can be recycled or not. It is found that Nokia utilizes their new designs concepts like- carbon-based g raphene, nano technology and flexible displays for exploring their advanced technologies division[3]. Nokia have also developed a department, which recycled mobile phone on request by user and thus it is believed by the customers that the organization have used recyclable product for developing Nokia 3310 and other new series that they desire to launch in coming days. The Nokia 3310s packing is smaller in size minimize paper use and the mobile device is free from free of PVC, Nickel and brominated flame retardants (BFR). Managing authorities also says that this model a very low radiation and battery saving options in order to formulate a durable phone by following environmental concern. Thus these materials can be renewed easily. Moreover the android phones also use this technology and has an automatic screen brightness adjustment that saves energy. This technology will attract more fans of Nokia 3310. In this way, both the environmental concern and customer base can enhance. So, there is a chance for Nokia user to buy this phone but still a majority of people will prefer smart phones over this concerned model. Thus, I can say Nokia always values for the recent demand and nostalgia of its customer and it can be seen from their launching of Nokia 3, 5, 6 and 8 and re-launching of Nokia-3310.
