Abstract

The cooperation between Microsoft and Nokia can be dated back to 2011. So far the cooperation has failed to give Microsoft's smartphone business the much needed shot in the arm, and the gap between Windows Phone and Android remains insurmountable. With Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announcing massive layoffs of Nokia-related staff, the four-year partnership is coming to an end, so are the Nokia X series and Nokia's feature phone business. This report profiles the element of motivation behind the layoffs and examines its impact on the smartphone industry.
