Looks like these two “bozos” are going down with the ship! While everyone else is bailing, their handcuffing themselves to this debacle! I honestly think they know the end is near & are trying “too” hard to effect their stock-value, while rendering their core-business model irrelevant! In a year, iOS6, iPhone 5 & iPad 3 will destroy the remaining “copycat” companies. By then, RIM will be a memory!

Don,t blame co CEO, RIM has 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 don’t blame co CEO, some of their VP and expert is the reason of low efficient.

Just not any room for them anymore…they need to pivot in a major way. Maybe go into the food industry.
