We don’t know if the organization could understand fully the vision of new Nokia. Nokia tries to create an easier way of life. Finally in a liquid market battlefield is very difficult to recondition the strategy plan immediately and be the leader.

By following diversification strategy Nokia will create added value. Therefore Ansoff matrix does not work for Nokia’s example. The risk will be contained in diversification model (vertical & horizontal). NOKIA Alternative strategies Insurance plan strategy Nokia as an insurance data provider. As the average age in all continents is increasing, we need to have more facilities for the older people. At the same time, the health of these older people must be under monitoring and these people have to be active parts of society. In order to have good results in health care system, the premiums must be under regulations because of its structure. The premiums aren’t representative of the cost of health services. With this project the company is about to edit all the necessary data to be an insurance contributor for every individual citizen. Raedcatea B) “INSURANCE NOKIA Alternative strategies Insurance plan strategy Using Digital Health Nokia could create a huge data center with statistics and results for the users‘of digital health accessories. These data will be analyzed with the service package of Ultra-Broadband(56), Cloud services, IP Interconnectivity and Internet of Things. Ultra-Broadband(5G) as a data transport system: 5G broadband gives more choices to users of any hardware system. For example wearing a Withings watch, you can have real time data as blood pressure, or using the thermometer, temperature, saved automatically in a data center. Cloud Services as a data center: Cloud services are an unlimited “hardware” storage system and helps to save data almost free on the web. By using wearables all the data would be collected to the “data center” which is the cloud. NOKIA Alternative strategies Insurance plan strategy IP Interconnectivity as a secure provider: All data concerning health are highly secured. They must be transferred without human interruption. Furthermore, interconnectivity will help the applications to be more efficient. Finally using the IP interconnectivity, the important platform will be created in order to analyze all the data securely with the help of Nakana Systems. loT as a self-driving system: loT is the future of mobile devices. By the help of Withings, Nokia will have all the necessary real time data of any citizen. It can also predicts a disease problem like heart attack, saving that way the citizens life and at the same time helping insurance contributor from spending operating costs. Finally loT doll the procedures automatically, NOKIA SFA Evaluation of Alternative Strategy Suitability(s) Feasibility(F Acceptability(A) Strategic Decision swoT Culture Resources _ Skills Stakeholders Risk Diversification ee “e wee wee tee ae Acquisitions ee Merges wee a ee ee ee + Alliances hie te eee ek ood * Consortium ee ry wee *e wok * nsurance plan ee ee eee tee tee tee Alliances +e + bee ** + tee NOKIA Final Strategic Decisions Acquisitions: Proceeding to acquisitions may create problems because of the adaptation of new companies in the culture of Nokia, Furthermore, the fact that the candidate company could be bought from a Nokia’s competitor is a threat. Insurance plan: Insurance plan is a great opportunity for Nokia’s future strategy. Insurance plan is a low risk strategy because it will start, at the same time, that the services are in growth. Insurance plan fits perfectly with the culture of European Continent and is very close to stakeholders’ philosophy (high-end technology and health services). NOKIA Final Strategic Decisions Final Strategic Decisions Strategy evaluation with SFA and SFA 6M rankings Insurance plan matches alternative strategy according to the SFA ranking system. Our team believes that the market is almost ready for insurance plan and this could be achieved with the support of stakeholders. More than ever, technology can predict serious diseases and this will help not only Nokia but the whole society. Investments, must be continuous, in the strategy of insurance plan. The last results of Q3 are moderate, and we believe that announcing an entrance to the Insurance sector, will attract more investors and help the stability and growth of Nokia’s share rate.

It is very important to create a “Guidance Team”, which will be responsible to inspire and guide personnel throughout the change processes. Vendors Vendor selection has to be very careful, and the expertise and culture of the vendor has to be considered before conclude an agreement. It has to be clear that the vendor will act as an advisor and not as an executive Mid-Senior Executives Middle managers are usually those who have the better understanding of the current culture of the organization and, in most cases, they can influence and inspire a large group of employees. Guidance Team “Guidance Team” will be the “cornerstone” of the change. They will be the link between top management and personnel of lower levels. Change Plan 7S change actions: Transfer a Project Manager from core Nokia’s business in order to accomplish the Insurance Plan project and disseminates the shared values. Hiring an extra Sales Manager and extra staff for the new Health Insurance department. Hiring executives from the Health Insurance sector to inform and educate the team will occupy the Health project. Req tes Sources: Plan cost: €10millions (hiring, educated, new department cost) Funding: Using available net cash NOKIA Change Plan Priorities: Select staff for the whole department. Create a business plan for the Health Insurance plan Be in touch with Insurance companies The acquisitions’ team have to continue its work, acquiring companies with high potential Implementation: Top management involvement and monitoring the progress of Project Managers.
