Nokia sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft on September 3, 2013. A company following Kodak with the legendary color failed in the impact of the new technology revolution. This was a typical case of the subversion of an industry; therefore, the author believed that it was necessary to analyze the process. This paper studied Nokia’s decline mainly from the three parts. First of all, looking back Nokia’s development process from the glory to the decline, it can be divided into three stages: the transition period, the peak period and the decline period, followed by analyzing the reasons of its decline from three parts: Nokia executives’...

...ISE Today's enterprises are under tremendous pressure to keep pace with a rapidly changing marketplace while supporting employees, customers, and consumers who are using an entirely new set of capabilities to meet their needs. Capabilities such as social media, cloud services, analytics, and mobility are enabling users and buyers to localize and personalize specific needs to do a variety of tasks, whether for professional or personal purposes. While the combination of these capabilities is radically altering the means by which enterprises need to do business, the move to a mobile-enabled world is creating tremendous opportunities for enterprises to leverage mobility as a means of driving high performance and ensuring competitive advantage. Some of the key factors that are driving enterprises to develop mobile strategies are as follows: Rapidly expanding use of mobile devices. The rapid adoption of "smart" mobile devices by both consumers and employees, coupled with the increase in bring your own device (BYOD) in the work environment, is placing significant challenges on enterprises to meet a broader set of requirements. In particular, enterprises face tremendous pressure to support a widening array of application functions (e.g., sales, customer care, ERP, marketing), technology platforms (e.g., native OS, Web OS, mobile enterprise application platform [MEAP], cloud), and devices (e.g., smartphones, smart tablets, smart vehicles).

...deployed some form of mobile email for the workforce as their first foray into wireless applications. Yet some are still hesitant to deploy applications that enable connectivity to back-office systems. Despite the maturity and success of most email deployments, companies are still highly cautious when looking at more complex applications. They worry about complexity, deployment costs, security, user reluctance to work on small devices, and -- having been unsuccessful in early implementations -- they are often gun-shy about trying again. Yet this reluctance to deploy applications is outmoded thinking. Forward-thinking companies are deploying mobile applications in a short time, at reasonable cost, and often on existing infrastructure. And they are reaping significant gains in end-user productivity and business efficiency. Enterprises wishing to deploy mobile solutions to the workforce should start with a strategic plan that focuses on what the users need to get their jobs done, the kinds of infrastructure that are already in place and can be leveraged, and how business needs will change over the next few years. This last component of a mobile strategy is particularly important because it will determine not only what gets implemented now but what degree of flexibility will be required to enhance and improve the applications over time. Failure to take into account the needs of the business in the long term will mean a mobile solution that is unable to change or grow with the business...

...Topic: Examine groupware systems including their various types and examples of organisational activities they support, and discuss how they would evolve in the future. Student number: 21819254 Introduction Nowadays, usage of IT systems in enterprise environment is growing at an incredible pace. The main purpose of it is to help groups of cooperating individuals to overcome time and spatial barriers. Enterprise systems implementation has led to the problem of cooperation between companies to reach their goals and successfully operate in the current market environment. The rising demand for collaboration software has led to the groupware market expansion. Collaborative software has influenced the expansion of enterprises by improving the effectiveness of a range of tools such as the ability to communicate over long distances. This software had a significant impact on expansion of enterprises and increased efficiency of its work, for example, the communication over long distances. Along with development of technologies, the way workers operate in organisations has completely changed. Monotonous and time consuming tasks can be easily solved using the computer. Consequently, this change led to increase in the number of “knowledge workers”, workers, whose main capital is knowledge (Davenport, Thomas, 2005). Organisations more often require employees, who have the skill and experience of working within a team. Obviously, teamwork has a significantly greater efficiency, especially in...
