Purpose: This article will investigate the causes for Nokia’s failure to stay afloat in the market, as well as how the company resurrected in 2017 by employing a nostalgic or sentimental marketing strategy. Technology management on a strategic level at Nokia Corporation is thoroughly examined and analyzed in this study. Nokia used to be the market’s dominant corporation, leader, and pacesetter until it had a massive market disaster. We inferred that the problem at Nokia was not the absenteeism of advancement, but in its place, it was due to a lack of innovation estimation and a misunderstanding that the requirements in the mobile phone market were not only about displaying a cell phone that makes verdicts, sends messages, and connects to the internet, but also the stage that connects all of these volumes together. Finally, this article describes how Nokia’s revival was achieved through the use of a nostalgic or sentimental marketing strategy. Objectives: We aim to present the reasons behind the failure of Nokia and its return using Nostalgic marketing approach to do a comparison analysis with its competitors and make recommendations to improve the company based on the findings Design/Methodology/Approach: Journals, as well as a variety of internet resources such as websites and blogs, were used to conduct this company analysis. A SWOC Analysis was used to analyses the Nokia corporation. Findings/Result: Till 2008 Nokia was the pioneer in the mobile phone market. Based on the study done it’s clear that Nokia failed to acquire smart phone market because Nokia couldn’t recognize the customer needs, didn’t Analyze the Market Accurately and also lack of implementing innovative technology in its product which customer needs. Nokia was focusing on implementing traditional Symbian operating system to its smart phone but Samsung choose android as its operating systems for its smartphone at the right time, which met the customer requirements. In 2017 Nokia came with nostalgic marketing approach by re-creating its old Nokia 3310 handset with modern features such Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi. Originality/Value: Based on data from secondary sources, this article investigates the reasons why Nokia failed to gain access to the smartphone market, and explores its comeback through nostalgic marketing strategies.

The Mercuries Taiwan Masters Invitational Golf Tournament has successfully been held for over 26 years without any interruption. The Mercuries Corporation is the company that organized the event solely. However, golf games in Taiwan normally do not attract enough spectators to watch them, unless there are world-renowned star players participating in the game. Consequently, most of the golf tournaments would not be able to sustain because of no sufficient income from spectators and from sponsors. MTMIGT has managed to survive because of the support of its own corporation, but the event is also facing the problem of lacking viewers. Being noticed by the corporation, the Department of Sport Management at Aletheia University and its students earned their reputation as a group of hard working entry-level event volunteers for MTMIGT for many years. Because of this, the corporation contacted the head of the department in 2011 and invited them to work together on a larger scale. The Mercuries Corporation wanted the Department of Sport Management to plan the marketing works of the event, and the company would pay all of the expenses. After months of preparation and planning by the department, the 2011 MTMIGT and its surrounding sport marketing campaigns were staged with better results than its previous years. And the department thus successfully acquired the right of planning and implementing the event's marketing for 2012. This case study fully explores the cooperation between the MTMIGT and the department in 2012. The result as well as its process can be a reference for people in the sport industry and the academy.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe how sustainable development has been initiated in a country (Sweden) in which sustainable development has priority and has produced observable results – essentially, the definition and reshaping of contents (p. 107) referred to in the Zhang and London (ZL) paper, therefore adding some validity to the model. Design/methodology/approach The research is both exploratory and qualitative in nature and uses an in-depth case study approach to the Swedish international economy as might be reflected by ZL’s modified Porter model. Information drawn from current secondary sources is complemented by personal contemporaneous observations of individuals in the country of interest. Findings The task of implementing Sweden’s strategy for sustainable development is holistic, and the State has played a major role in its development. That is, sustainability is the responsibility of the Government Offices as a whole, which produces proactive programs in each of the interactions analyzed in the ZL modified model. As an aside, the country has sustained a high level of competitiveness while producing a pleasant environment in which to live. Research limitations/implications Limitations in the study follow the same criticisms made of Porter’ seminal treatment – (still) lack of a formal model construction (although ZL make a meaningful contribution), (still) lack of clear definitions (although ZL make a meaningful contribution), problematic research methodology (although an attempt has been made at improvement) and lack of empirical testing among others (and it is thought that this paper is a step in the right direction). Practical implications Insofar as Sweden might be a model for other countries interested in extending their efforts in sustainable development, observations here provide some insights into possible approaches and results. Originality/value The approach basically followed Siggelkow’s (2007) definition of the use of cases as illustrations, which is useful when the underlying development depends upon constructs. It follows that the association of real-world observations with theory well serves the underlying foundation and cannot help but build credibility of those concepts and theory.
