On the contrary, Nora gave a counter proposal of 30% and 70% equity split for Sakari and Nora respectively. Third, Sakari proposed that it provides the JV with digital switch basic structure while Nora wanted the digital switch basic structure to be made from the JV Company in order to gain contact with the switching technology.

Last, Nora and Sakari could not agree on where to resolve the negotiation stalemate. The failure to understand variations in national culture and organizational politics played a huge role
