As they tried once again Thursday evening to urge financial analysts to look ahead to a brighter future while once again delaying the release of a crucial product, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis failed to give anyone a reason to think RIM will be a player in mobile during 2012 or to explain why they should still have their jobs.
We’re happy Balsillie and Lazaridis are around if just for the comic relief.
The guys at macgasm recently posted their top referring keywords from Google, I wonder which spot keywords related to RIM would show up for the Loop 😉
Don’t blame the co CEO, RIM has strange culture and political environment.
In RIM if a new hired person figure out major problem and introduce efficient approach, both manager and his buddy group member will proof their wrong approach works. just like someone point out driving a car is right way, pushing a car is wrong way, then both manager and his buddy group member will hate you, and proof that 3 person can also move the car by pushing it. cheating email will be sent to some vice president, saying like: see, the car moving, pushing a car is a natural part of the process, in order to deny contribution of introduce skill of drive a car, thet deny merit of driving a car.
It is very strange company culture and strange company political environment, it promote stealing and cheating skill. RIM’s management may be a typical instance in MBA course.
This culture deny or steal hardworking team members’ contribution/innovation, generate strange political environment, destroy RIM.
so it is not the CEO, it is because some of its VP and expert, they generate strange culture and self-distruct political environment.
