Nokia has a new CEO

Nokia has a new CEO.

The title of the article is "Nokia’s New Chief Faces Culture of Complacency", by The New York Times.

Does Nokia has a culture of complacency? See in the article how the spokeswoman responded to the comments from former employees, "They were, she said, “managers with individual roles or leaders of small teams.” ". Do you expect Nokia to have a vibrant work environment and its employees to feel empowered in what they do? Well, most of them are just "with individual roles or leaders of small teams".

This should be a textbook example for MBA classes.
