How Nokia Make Cell Phones

BusinessWeek has posted an interesting article about the making of a nokia phone. According to the editor, “Nokia is one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated manufacturers. Though highly automated, the production process still involves significant human intervention, from placing high-value components like digital camera modules by hand, to visually inspecting and testing finished products, to packing phones in boxes.

For strategic reasons, Nokia does virtually all this work itself, rather than farming it out. Why? To ensure control over the process and keep costs down. The formula seems to work. On average, it costs Nokia 69 euros ($87.63) to make a phone, and on average it sells phones for 102 euros ($129.54), leaving a gross margin of nearly 33%, better than its rivals can muster.”
