Microsoft needs to provide 1.5 billion euro loan to Nokia. Lasima seats know that Nokia is still unsafe, it needed cash from Siemens to buy shares of the joint venture company, into a brand new Nokia.
The first step is to live
I lasima eventually persuaded Ballmer, Microsoft to accept his condition. Recently I lasima said in an interview: "the first step is to ensure that company survive. "
I lasima served as Chairman of the Board for the first 2 years, Nokia and Microsoft, Siemens deal, saving enterprises and Nokia in the cell phone market meltdown, slow pace in the transition to a smart phone. I lasima said: "the media has been speculating when Nokia death, through a deal with Microsoft, Nokia can ensure not to die, there is no risk, but we can never lose a business. "
I lasima eyes, Nokia's business to be done, also have longer term goals. The Alcatel-Lucent deal will allow Nokia to the future fate of bound together with the telecommunications equipment market. This deal size of 15.6 billion euros, after the merger will be the birth of a new giant, Ericsson, Huawei and competition.
Hotels finalizing deal to buy Arun
On December 2 last year, Nokia's shareholders prepare for crucial vote. Just before the shareholders ' meeting held, seats lasima blend Strand Street, London (Strand) luxurious Savoy Hotel. At that time because of the terrorist attacks in Paris, France, London, security upgrades, the lobby atmosphere is tense. Lasima seats feel good, because he wants to talks with Chairman of Alcatel-Lucent, will explore the merger of the two companies.
Lasima seats found in a luxury hotel only a few allow visitors not registered in visiting rooms. In general companies discuss mergers and acquisitions at the law firm, the message is not easy to secure, hidden in the hotel.
At that time, lasima seats have been forced to take on the interim CEO job. I lasima had founded the software company f-secure, and as such becomes a billionaire. To join its Board of Directors four years after he became President, when Nokia is going downhill, which may damage the seat lasima reputation, but he still felt as a Finland must face difficult and up.
I lasima said: "Nokia to Finland and the company made a contribution of my own. When I see such enterprises face enormous challenges, how could I not give a helping hand? "

However, Nokia's competitors to large mergers and acquisitions carefully. Since 2006, after the merger, Alcatel-Lucent ahead difficult. This month, Cisco Chairman John Chambers forecast Nokia and Arlong deals will eventually fail.
Lasima is surprising seats to this view and agrees, but he also believes that Nokia acquired Arlong would succeed. He will be learning experience from the merger of Alcatel and Lucent, there is primary and secondary trading of all of the problems.
I lasima says: "Alcatel-Lucent business bad, Nokia Siemens joint venture operations is not good, the problem is that they are equivalent merge. You are you and I am me, distinct roles, this is wrong from the start. "
Recognition in mobile marketing mistakes

Before he would not be specific evaluation management mistakes, many analysts have criticised Nokia's slow decision making and Enterprise overconfident. Xi Lasi Mary Frank said: "we have dominated the mobile market, but lost their advantage, we clearly made a mistake. "
When I lasima became Chairman after the order from "burning platform" jumped on, Nokia seem to go to the other extreme.

Lasima seats can feel people's expectation, expressed understanding for the public anger, especially Stephen Elop (former CEO) is left with a huge severance payments. But I lasima does not regret the decision, he believes that he is right. FOSSIL iPhone 5
I lasima said, "coincides with the lowest when I became Chairman of Nokia, we are planning the largest layoffs in corporate history. It is difficult, but we know we will prevail. "
Lasima seats considered in Nokia's history, the Microsoft deal may be the best deal. He recalled the Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, I lasima says: "because they have lost a lot, and we were really upset. "If there is no deal with Microsoft, Nokia can survive is a question, even if alive will be difficult, since Windows Mobile share continued to decline.
I hope Nokia became a symbol of courage
