Major themes discussed include Nokia’s marketing strategies in China against its competitors, Samsung, Motorola and Ningbo Bird.

This helps Nokia identify its competitive advantages. Our recommendation details how Nokia’s handsets can better compete in the four market segments: technology enthusiasts, heavy users, fashionistas and social-life lovers. A product quality perception and price-quality matrix of the Nokia and its competitors has been analyzed. In appreciation, Nokia can identify possible product gaps and new pricing points.
