  • Research in Motion the Communication Challenges of Blackberry
    SAINT MARTIN’S UNIVERSITY Research In Motion The Communication Challenges of BlackBerry Josiah Shelman & Sommer Valles 12/9/2013 When Mike Lazaridis began college, he started making wireless, programmable displays for advertisements. His economics professor convinced him that he had a great business idea and encouraged him to start a company; in 1984 that’s exactly what he did. He started the company with his long-time childhood friend and fellow engineer, Doug Fregin and named the company Research In Motion. Business started out slow as they only sold 100 units of their first LED signs, but soon Mike shifted his focus to wireless telecommunications. In 1992 he hired Jim Basillie, a Harvard MBA graduate and future co-CEO of RIM, to help with the business side of the company. RIM really hit its stride in 1996 when they developed the first two-way messaging pager. From then on RIM continued to pave the way in telecommunications and released their very first Wireless PDA named the RIM 950, which later became known as the Blackberry. RIM has been fighting to stay competitive for the past decade. They have faced many communication challenges, both internal and external to the company, that have led to their decline. Those failures include: lack of two-way communication, lack of leadership, and failures in its internal communications. Internal Communication RIM has been on a drastic decline for the past few years and a major factor has been the lack of internal communications. The CEOs, upper management, and board members have continued to disagree and cannot come to a conclusion on what direction the company should head.

  • 2011-12 Annual Report to Industry Canada
    2011-12 Annual Report to Industry Canada Covering the Objectives, Activities, and Finances for the period August 1, 2011 to July 31, 2012 and Statement of Objectives for Next Year and the Future Submitted by: Neil Turok, Director to the Hon. Christian Paradis, Minister of Industry and the Hon. Gary Goodyear Minister of State (Science and Technology) Vision: To create the world’s foremost centre for foundational theoretical physics, uniting public and private partners, and the world’s best scientific minds, in a shared enterprise to achieve breakthroughs that will transform our future. Overview of Perimeter Institute Theoretical physics seeks to understand what the universe is made of, and the forces that govern it, at the most basic level. Because the field is so fundamental, just one major discovery can literally change the world. The discovery of electromagnetism, for example, led to radio, X-rays, and all wireless technologies, and in turn catalyzed breakthroughs in all the other sciences. The discovery of quantum mechanics led directly to semiconductors, computers, lasers, and a nearly infinite array of modern technologies. Theoretical physics is the lowest-cost, highest-impact field of science. Located in Waterloo, Ontario, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics was founded in 1999, the first attempt in history to strategically accelerate discovery in this most basic area of science. Supported through a visionary funding model, it unites public and private partners, and the world’s best scientific minds, in a shared quest to achieve the next breakthroughs, which will transform our future. As of July 31, 2012, the Perimeter community has grown to include: 18 full-time Faculty 12 Associate Faculty 24 Distinguished Visiting Research Chairs 38 Postdoctoral Researchers 72 Graduate students1 As a major research hub, Perimeter’s conference and visitor programs bring over 1,000 scientists to the Institute annually, catalyzing new research collaborations and discoveries across the spectrum of fundamental physics.

  • 1.0 Executive Summary 1.1 History of Blackberry in 1984, Mike Lazaridis
    1.0 Executive Summary 1.1 History of blackberry In 1984, Mike Lazaridis founded an electronics and computer science consulting company called Research In Motion (RIM). For years the company focused on a breakthrough technology, which they called it as the ―BlackBerry‖. It is an easy, secure, and effective device that allowed users to send and receive e-mails while away from the office. Since email had become so popular, people who were on the go needed a way to access their email without having to find a computer. RIM grew into one of the world‘s most valuable tech companies. The BlackBerry became the indispensable accessory of business executives, heads of state, and Hollywood celebrities. The first BlackBerry smart phone was developed in 2003 and in a remarkably short time, they have managed to completely change the way that people communicate. This was a device that not only functioned as a telephone but also allowed for the sending or receiving of email and text messages as well as web browsing. RIM‘s BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) instant messaging service is once popular before. The plan of BBM was to push wireless carriers to adopt as a replacement for their short text messaging system (SMS) applications. 1.2 Current competitive position Since the introduction of the BlackBerry, there was a lot of competitors have appeared on the market and now they are competing with some of the biggest companies in the telecommunications industry. This competition combined with improving technology has resulted in a huge increase in the number of functions that you will find on your BlackBerry.

  • Mike Lazaridis
    Mike Lazaridis It was 1986, during his last year at the University of Waterloo, that a young Mike Lazaridis said he had high hopes for his new company, Research in Motion Ltd. (RIM): “We’re pretty solidly established and the future looks good. It’s just a matter of letting people know what we can do for them. We feel our market is just starting to open up,” he said at the time. Remarkably, in just over twenty years Lazaridis is known around the world for his wildly popular Blackberry, a portable e-mail device, and Waterloo-based RIM is a global leader in wireless communications. It’s a significant achievement for a man who immigrated to Canada from Turkey with his Greek parents and just three suitcases. Lazaridis was 5-years-old when he watched his bird-shaped kite soar above the stern of the boat that would take his family to their new home across the Atlantic Ocean. He was fascinated by how the motion of the boat and the wind kept the kite in the air. His curiosity about motion and how things worked only blossomed as he grew up in Windsor, Ontario. He spent hours in the basement of his home building rockets and radios with his closest friend Doug Fregin. Fregin would later help found RIM in 1984 along with Michael Barnstijn. When he was 12-years-old, Lazaridis won an award for reading every science book in the Windsor Public Library. In high school he took science courses to get into university but also enrolled in the shop courses that would allow him to tinker.
