Nokia
Nokia was mainly oriented to the manufacture of mobile phones, the world leader in this sector between 1998 and 2011. However, in their later years as a manufacturer of mobile phones, suffered a decrease in market share as a result of the growing company use of smartphones from other vendors. As a result, their share price fell from a high of $40 in 2007 to less than $3 in 2012. In February 2011, Nokia entered into a strategic alliance with Microsoft, as part of which all Nokia smartphones incorporate Windows Phone. Following this agreement, Nokia became the leading provider of smartphones with Windows Phone.
On September 2, 2013, Microsoft announced their intent to purchase the division of Nokia devices and services as part of a global agreement for a total of 7,200 million USD for the purchase of devices division mobile and licensing of patents from Nokia. The sale of this division was closed on April 25, 2014.
