The thesis goes over the history, current events and business model of each company. This paper includes differences between the companies and co-operation and rivalry, such as patent infringement cases. The study is limited to smartphones and their future. The result of this study is that Apple will continue its steady increase in market share, while Nokia will first decrease and after the launch of the Windows Phone it will rise again. RIM‟s result has not been as good as in past years and it has lost market share. The decrease of share price may lead to acquisition by a company interested in RIM technology. ii TIIVISTELMÄ Lappeenrannan teknillinen yliopisto Teknistaloudellinen tiedekunta Tietotekniikan koulutusohjelma Anni Sirén Apple, Nokia and RIM – Rivalry and Co-operation between Three Mobile Phone Corporations Kandidaatintyö 25.8.2011 40 sivua, 6 taulukkoa, 3 kuvaa Työn tarkastaja: Professori Jari Porras Hakusanat: Nokia, RIM, Apple, älypuhelin, Blackberry, iPhone, patenttiloukkaus, tekijänoikeusloukkaus Työn tavoitteena on koota tarpeeksi todisteita Nokian, RIM:n ja Applen tulevaisuuden näkymien arviointia varten.
