Only So Much Satisfaction To Go Around?
from the zero-sum-game dept
Apparently, Nokia is somehow "losing ground" because other handset makers are getting better satisfaction ratings. Now, Nokia's problems in selling handsets have been well documented. They've been losing a significant amount of market share to other handset makers who have clearly done a better job anticipating (guessing?) what consumers would want. However, to suggest that Nokia is "losing ground" because others have improved their own satisfaction ratings makes no sense. The study does not say that Nokia's satisfaction ratings have dropped, only that other handset makers now have similar satisfaction ratings, and somehow this is interpreted to mean that Nokia has screwed up. Apparently, the study writers and the reporters who wrote the article about it believe there's only a limited amount of customer satisfaction to go around, and if others are getting more, they must be taking it at the expense of Nokia.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
