After Our CEO Left us, Cisco is Targeting Us, What’s Next….???
I got two heart attacks in about 1 week. Firstly, when last Monday, Nokia’s CEO, Jorma Ollila, has decided to left the company and joined the second largest oil company in Europe. Secondly, this morning I read news that Cisco is targeting to eat Nokia. What the hell is this? The largest network equipment manufacturer is going to buy the biggest mobile phone manufacturer???
I am just wondering whether Jorma’s decision to leave Nokia has relationship with Cisco’s move. I really don’t know what will happen next with the company that I’ve been working for three years. I hope not something bad, for instance big lay off, just like what have happened to the mergers of HP-Compaq and Oracle-PeopleSoft.
Apart from that, seeing mega-mergers between European and American companies would be very interesting. I myself don’t agree with this merger. At least both companies have different core businesses and cultures. Unfortunately I am not Nokia’s shareholder, so I cannot say anything.
