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. -
