overstating it.”

- February 2011, stock at $66.20, and it’s all downhill from there.
- April, RIM releases PlayBook tablet to so-so reviews and poor sales.
Jim Balsillie failing to inspire confidence about RIM’s plans: “No other

- It owned exclusive app store
- provided hundred of thousands of app
available to customer
CAN RIM SURVIVE? SHOULD IT STAY THE
COURSE OR FIND NEW WAY?
ANDROID
APPLE
RIM
Holistic internal marketing
 On the former time, RIM tend to abandon
their concern on holistic marketing. The main
focus is to take gross margin. Their not
improve their device interface and other
valuable creating value to customer. As per
telecommunication has short life cycle, RIM is
lack of innovation to lead the market.
1. In order to survive RIM should improve their
company use holistic marketing as point of
view.
2. The owned database system is their
strength point. This could be point start to
start make a plan to revive.
3. Since, telecommunication has a fast speed,
RIM also should consider put their resource
on R&D and Innovation to win the
competition
Thank You....
