ANALYSIS OF SMART PHONES AND THE CURRENT FRENZY:The journey from 1G to 4G
Timeline • 1G – 1973 to 1990 • 2G – 1990 to 2002 • 3G – 2002 to 2011 • 4G – Present day
Irruption – First Phase • 1973 • The first handheld cell phone was developed in the US by Motorola • 1996 • Nokia 9000 first smartphone • 2002 • First Blackberry released • 2007 • iPhone released
Risky Business • By definition, technological revolution implies risk • New products, unknown markets, no guarantees • Would society favor the cell phone?
“By the end of Irruption, the technological revolution is hugely successful, but there is not enough of it; the old industries that are not disappearing show disappointing profits and modernization can be a difficult and often protracted process with relatively high risks. The clearly favorable externalities and institutions that will propel the diffusion of the new paradigm are not yet there.”
Frenzy – Second Phase • Crisis, mania • Bifurcation • Increasing tension • Current phase with invention of Smart Phone • iPhone and Android compete • Microsoft enters competition
Nokia’s Partnership with Microsoft • Feb. 11, 2011 • Initial agreement • April 21, 2011 • Officially signed • Will this partnership be successful in competition?
Synergy – Third Phase • Not there yet. When will we get there? • We will see increased employment and the extension of markets, according to Perez
Maturity – Fourth Phase • A long ways away • Defined with success and prosperity • Eventually fades away with ‘big bang’ of next surge
