Nokia executives attempted to

4、 explain its fall from the top of the smartphone pyramid with three factors: 1) that Nokia was technically inferior to Apple, 2) that the company was complacent and 3) that its leaders didnt see the disruptive iPhone coming. It has also been argued that it was none of the above. Nokia lost the smart

5、phone battle because of divergent shared fears among the companys middle and top managers which led to company-wide inertia that left it powerless to respond to Apples game. Based on the findings of an in-depth investigation and 76 interviews with top and middle managers, engineers and external expe

6、rts, the researchers discovered a culture of fear due to temperamental leaders and that frightened middle managers were scared of telling the truth. The fear that froze the company came from two places. First, the companys top managers had a terrifying reputation. Some members of Nokias board and to

7、p management were described as “extremely temperamental” and they regularly shouted at people “at the top of their lungs”. It was very difficult to tell them things they didnt want to hear. Secondly, top managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targets, which

8、also impacted how they treated middle managers. Top managers thus made middle managers afraid of disappointing them. Middle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet top managers goals. Fearing the reactions of top managers, middle managers remained silent or provided optimistic

9、, filtered information. Thus, middle managers directly lied to top management. Worse, a culture of status inside Nokia made everyone want to hold onto vested power for fear of resources being allocated elsewhere if they delivered bad news or showed that they were not bold or ambitious enough to unde

10、rtake challenging assignments. Beyond verbal pressure, top managers also applied pressure for faster performance in personnel selection. This led middle managers to over promise and under deliver. One middle manager told us that “you can get resources by promising something earlier, or promising a l

11、ot. Its sales work.” While modest fear might be healthy for motivation, abusing it can be like overusing a drug, which risks generating harmful side effects. To reduce this risk, leaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staff. Nokias top managers should have encouraged safe dialogue

12、, internal coordination and feedback to understand the true emotion in the organization. 操作提示：正确选T，错误选F。1. Nokia lost the smartphone battle because its technology is not as good as that of Apple.

Communication is about conceiving, sending, receiving, and inte

22、rpreting messages as well as confirming reception of these messages. A failure at any point in this chain can result in ineffective communication. Ineffective communication can be disastrous. There is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message “Send reinforcements, were going to

23、 advance.” back to his Command Center, through a long chain of subordinates. When the message finally reached the Command Center, it had “mutated” to become - “Send three and four-pence, were going to a dance.” The reinforcements never arrived.

24、ss dramatic scale, by trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 people. It is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with. In a business, there are three main types of communication failure. Each has its own indicative signs. The first type is known as allo

25、cative failure. This occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or (most often), the information is not reaching the right points. The firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demand. If demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative

26、communication failure, then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing. If the inverse happens, there will be a surplus of stocks and overstaffing. The second type is executive failure, where communication to trigger specific events/actions is either late, lacking or in error. The symptoms of

27、this are a general loss of direction in the company or departments, a loss of co-ordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all. The final type is human failure. This occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular in

28、dividuals or departments do not foster effective communication. This leads to alienated staff, an increase in staff turnover, an increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staff. Creativity, especially that which takes place across departmental boundaries, is likely to suffer hugely as te
