Nope, Nokia was killed via suicide-by-microsoft-exec. They took in a MS aligned CEO and promptly proceeded to destroy their own chance of competing (using Maemo/meego or android for their phones) by using MS operating system.

I guess one could call it leadership stagnation, but I would argue more it being just plain old stupidity

Microsoft did not buy or kill Nokia though.
