NSN TRANSFORMATION CONTINUES IN YEAR THREE

摘要

Ask Mika Vehvilainen, chief operating officer for Nokia Siemens Networks, about the Nokia side or the Siemens side of his company and he'll tell you that he stopped thinking in those terms long ago. "The customer-facing teams have been mixed from the beginning," he said. "I can't tell anymore who comes from where."rnWhat's more, he'll point out that of NSN's roughly 60,000-person work force, about 15,000 joined after the combination from somewhere else. "So 25% of the people are neither Nokia nor Siemens," Vehvilainen said.rnStill, that sort of smooth homogeneity seems unlikely just two years after the union of a Finnish mobile handset-rnmaker and a German conglomerate perhaps best known in the U.S. telecom market for its long-haul optical gear.
