1.Risto Siilasmaa is the chairman of Nokia, which is today a very different and much **pany than in 2008 when he joined its board as a non-executive director.
When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, Nokia at first seemed to view it as a **petitor with a high price-tag that would capture only a small slice of the market. After all, Nokia's phones appeared to have all the bells and whistles needed to succeed. Users could download music and listen to the radio; they could use their phones to take photos and videos; they could send and receive email; and even use maps.
Mr Siilasmaa had a front-row seat for the drama that ensued when he first joined the firm, but he had very little real influence on the board decisions. As he explains, board members have limited access to limited quantities of **pany information. With his software
background, however, he quickly perceived the firm's big problem. Its devices could rival the iPhone mechanically, but the operating system could **pete. Nokia's Symbian system was cumbersome for users, who had to send confirmations whenever any function was added to the phone.
Nokia also had a wide range of devices with different operating requirements, making it difficult for app developers to customise their offerings. Apple, by contrast, had only one platform and
enjoyed the benefit of being able to design a system from scratch. Increasingly concerned about these problems, Mr Siilasmaa wrote a strategy document suggesting that **pany should consider embracing the Android operating system for phones, which was rapidly gaining market share. He sent it straight to Nokia's chairman, Jorma Ollila. Before becoming chairman, he had been Nokia's chief executive from 1992 to 2006, the years of its rise to dominance. He did not seem to appreciate a non-executive director putting his oar in. Mr Siilasmaa tried again, this time sending his memo to the chief executive and other board members, but his concerns were never addressed in board meetings.
Mr Ollila, now 68, has described Mr Siilasmaa's claims as exaggerated or not true. But Nokia's performance deteriorated sharply during his last years in charge, and nothing he did was able to stop it. **pany did team up with Microsoft to launch a Windows-based phone, the Lumia. But by 2012, when Mr Ollila left the board, Nokia's market value had fallen by 92% since Apple's iPhone was launched and the firm was making a loss.
Mr Siilasmaa came in as the new chairman when **pany's fortunes seemed to be at rock-bottom. Instead, the news got worse: the Lumia phone received good reviews but failed to gain market share. So Mr Siilasmaa acted. In 2013 Nokia sold the phone business to
Microsoft and struck out in a different direction. Now Nokia offers \"end-to-end\" digital infrastructure, supplying network equipment and software to **s operators. It is profitable, but its share price has barely moved in the past five years and future success is dependent on a wave of spending on 5G **s networks, which **e slowly. Nokia was already a classic example of the perils of disruptive innovation for industry leaders. Mr Siilasmaa's account underlines how little influence board members often have when faced with an
entrenched management team. He insists that a board's role must be to challenge management. Bosses must have an attitude of \"paranoid
optimism\shows why. SSS_TEXT_QUSTI Chinese-English Translation 2.在人类发展进步的壮阔征程上，中国与世界各国结伴前行。今年是中国改革开放40周年。40年来，我们历经风雨，砥砺前行，走出了一条中国特色社会主义道路。
