The curse of the alien boss

摘要

Tnside Nokia, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, the company's ceo, is known as opk. In the wider tech world he is known as a dead man walking. The business press is buzzing with rumours of his imminent demise. Alas for him, these rumours have boosted his company's share price.rnMr Kallasvuo took over the world's largest phonemaker (which is also by far the biggest company in his native Finland) in the summer of 2006. Six months later Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, and it has been downhill ever since. Nokia's shares have tumbled by nearly two-thirds. Its profit margins have withered from 15% to 7%. And the firm has all but imploded in America, despite Mr Kallasvuo's pledge to conquer the region.
