In the war between the humanity and the machines, the machine
is out pacing earthly beings. Technology based instruments have
replaced human companions. The infectious attachment not
confined to techno savvy youth; the octogenarian show
surprising affinity, for kids it’s a playful game. With a
population so vast at their disposal, the mobile companies are
making their way to the global market.
There is a huge number of mobile operators - some of them are
national, and others are international. Now the world is a
global village, so the territory demarcation is not a
curtailing factor. Competition is tough, majority of the
population is not techno-savvy and it becomes easy to lure
them.
From the providers perspective both the internal and external
factors play a crucial role. The internal connectivity of a
mobile phone is more or less the same - it is easily acquired.
The external challenges are crucifying; the customer base and
their loyalty to a particular brand, government policy, rapidly
changing models, value chain dynamics,the base line model is
specific to the company. It influences the capturing of
marketing territory in its transferable format to other
geographical areas.
Mobile phones are becoming to have a constant presence in our
daily life. They are the computing device of the future. The
speed of voice and picture transfer is there, the possibility
as a device for multifarious work is unlimited. The market has
a huge potential for expansion.
Many countries are coming in the world market fast – of course,
China is one of them. A lot many companies have an ambitious
target set for the world market. They are hoping to become
global players — dominants at home and strong enough to muscle
in on consumer awareness abroad. China Mobile also claims to be
the world's largest mobile phone provider ranked by millions of
subscribers. The China government is going to promote a policy
of ‘Going Global’ so as to create ‘Global Champions, in the
world scenario‘.
Deep-pocketed foreign mobile phone operators led by Finland's
Nokia and South Korea's Samsung Electronics are moving to
tighten their grip on the China market. Nokia, Motorola and
Samsung are also gaining share in China and becoming stronger
in the market. Expanded distribution and local alliances were
helping the world's top three handset suppliers lead the charge
to dominate China.
Some of the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers and
providers include Alcatel, Audiovox, Fujitsu, Kyocera (former
division of Qualcomm), LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Panasonic, Philips, Sagem,
Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Siemens, SK Teletech, Sony Ericsson, and
Toshiba. Most companies step back when it comes to giving a
comparative figure of sales in terms of being a world
provider.
