Nokia has billed its decision to sell most of its handset and services business to Microsoft as the “next chapter”. But for many critics, it is the final episode in a Helsinki whodunit. To them, the perpetrator of this offence against national industrial pride is obvious. It is the Canadian with the smoking gun standing next to the still-twitching corpse of Finland’s best-known company: Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop.
諾基亞(Nokia)把向微軟(Microsoft)出售自身絕大部分手機(jī)硬件和服務(wù)業(yè)務(wù)的決定稱為“一個(gè)新篇章的開始”。但對(duì)很多評(píng)論人士而言,這就如同一部赫爾辛基偵探小說(shuō)的最后章節(jié)。在他們看來(lái),誰(shuí)對(duì)芬蘭民族工業(yè)的驕傲犯下罪行簡(jiǎn)直一目了然。一個(gè)加拿大人正拿著冒煙的手槍,站在芬蘭最知名企業(yè)仍在抽搐的尸體旁——這個(gè)人就是諾基亞首席執(zhí)行官斯蒂芬?埃洛普(Stephen Elop)。
