Since you brought it up, as a matter of fact, no, not all companies blame others for their errors.Those low life good for nothing folks at Nokia should be honest and admit when they make bad decisions just like all of those other companies out there... Oh wait... All companies try to redirect the blame for failure in any way possible.
One example relevant to this thread: when Apple released its buggy Maps app and service, the public criticism was justifiably harsh. Eventually Tim Cook himself issued an apology. No finger pointing, buck passing, responsibility shirking, ownership denial. Heck, for a while, the App Store had a special section focused on alternatives to the native Apple Maps.
Here Nokia could have simply issued a statement saying that they had discontinued to app to concentrate their efforts on creating new and more valuable services to users. The finger pointing toward Apple is exceptionally ludicrous because the Nokia HERE app sucked while iOS 6 was the current release and Nokia never made a single attempt to improve the app while on iOS 6.
Nokia failed miserably in their initial attempt to provide an enjoyable map user experience (on iOS 6) and never made any effort afterward to improve their lackluster debut despite the fact that they are a major mobile telephone hardware manufacturer with ample engineering assets.
We are not talking about some teenage script kiddie slapping together an app in his mom's basement. We are talking about a corporation that generates 30 billion Euros in annual revenue. This is not amateur hour.
The people here have every right to denigrate Nokia's abysmal effort and their even more pathetic excuse. Nokia has no one but themselves to blame for their failure.
The people who should really be furious would be the Nokia shareholders. Why put in a wasted effort to do a pisspoor lackadaisical job?
