14. Conclusion and Recommendation According to the strong competition in the mobile phone market, Nokia should improve their mobile phone’s abilities such as function of internet using on mobile, and also produce new application to satisfy customers’ needs. They should not be too dependent on Microsoft, because it would be hazard for the company. On the other hand, Nokia should keep developing the mobile phone technology at the same time Microsoft focus on software and another application that relates to mobile phone using. It might be true that is difficult for Nokia to recover from the problems while the competition of mobile phone is very strong due to the trend of smart phones for Apple and Google’s Android operating system, but cooperation between Nokia which produces numerous portfolios and has a very large distributed channel around the world and Microsoft that is the worldwide leader in software, would create new efficiently technology to offer customers and be successful again.
