What should have happened was a strong positioning from the board and shareholders to use the case as a diagnosis of a true management problem that MUST be solved and probably until now isn’t. And therefore will still cause Nokia problems again in the future. The decision of going with windows phone punishes de product (meego), not the management, for the management mistakes. Is like killing a beautiful child because it was concepted by irresponsible parents. And it is adapting to a worser strategy because you can’t manage to follow the best strategy because you are too lazy for changes. It is an explicit suicidal management decision which explains why until now Nokia had no succes even with windows phone. The problem is not the OS. Is the management that sucks from the CEO and also from the board and shareholders.
