Outsourced manufacturing has been a significant feature of the wider consumer electronics industry as well as handset market for many years. The logic being that little value is added by having the production process conducted exclusively in-house. Nokia had a distinctive competitive advantage in the 2000s by tightly managing its supply chain and manufacturing.
