The best thing about this book is that you get a unique occasion to see how do the people in charge of large corporations look like , how do they act , react and most importantly what do they really know about their business - most of the times a lot LESS then their grunts !
This compelling book takes us through the rollercoaster that Nokia has been through from 2008 to 2016.
From being the undisputed king of handsets , to getting smashed in just one year by apple and then by Android .From the bittersweet partnership with Microsoft to the war-like negotiations with Steve Ballmer for the Company's most precious division.
Last but not least , the abandonment of the handsets division and the leap of faith into the Network Infrastructure (Alcatel acqusition).
The best part : the Nokia boardmember-to become chairman - to become CEO is telling you the story just like a role playing game.
P.S When you are the Technology Manager and you don't know your OS takes 48h to compile for a phone , the same phone you are placing all your eggs in , you know you are in some deeep long term trouble.
