N2 - This case study explores the origins of Nokia’s decline in the mobile
technology market, as an unsuccessful attempt to introduce an open
source strategy into the business. Nokia created a hybrid model, which
codified conflicting principles taken from closed and open mode of
collaboration. A series of implementation problems resulted in Nokia
struggling to attract open source partners, growing issues with managing
in-house staff and ultimately failing to develop a new mobile operating
system fast enough to stay competitive.
