Description
The BlackBerry Empire: A Story of Rise and Fall The story of BlackBerry's extraordinary rise and spectacular fall is a riveting tale of innovation and competition. This is not a conventional story of business failure, but rather a cautionary tale of how quickly companies can outpace themselves in the rapidly changing world of technology. At the heart of the story is an unlikely partnership between two key players, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, who engineered a pioneering pocket email device that became the tool of choice for presidents and CEOs. However, their success was short-lived, as internal feuds and chaotic growth crippled the company as it faced its gravest test: the entry of Apple and Google into the mobile phone market. Expertly told by acclaimed journalists Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff, this book provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most compelling business stories of the new century.
