Interested in one of the most lucrative yet most difficult jobs in the world? Are you willing to relocate all the way to Finland? If so, mobile giant Nokia
Reports say Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo is on the way out. The company has begun the hunt for a replacement as it aims to spruce up its ailing smartphone lineup. For long-term observers of the company, the move shouldn't come as a surprise.
Like Microsoft
To make matters worse, Nokia's OS indecision probably contributed to scaring developers away. Despite their huge lead in smartphone market share, Nokia badly trails the depth of applications Apple and Google can offer.
Not all hope is lost: Nokia still has huge smartphone market share in Europe, for example. That's in stark contrast to fellow declining mobile giant Microsoft, which has seen dramatic market share losses across the board. However, the clock is starting to tick extremely fast as Apple makes a huge international push, and Google's Android is just beginning to flex its international muscle.
In the battle to control the smartphone generation, Nokia isn't done yet. However, there is not much time left. Let's hope Nokia moves fast on finding someone with a better vision for the market.
