Current Strategy
BlackBerry’s (BBRY) current mission and vision are to be the leading designer,
manufacturer and marketer of innovative wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile
communications market. Through the development of integrated hardware, software and services
that support multiple wireless network standards, RIM provides platforms and solutions for
seamless access to time-sensitive information including email, phone, text messaging (SMS and
MMS), the Internet and intranet-based applications [Bla17].
BlackBerry's business-level procedures can be best comprehended and acknowledged
through key examination of its strategic development by date. In 2007, when Apple introduced
the iPhone to the world, BlackBerry kept up and sought after systems that did not represent the
genuine problematic nature of the smartphone that they were about to face. At the time,
BlackBerry was an esteemed organization that had a solid piece of the overall industry with share
costs topping at $236 per each share. With the predictable development in income it affirmed that
BlackBerry had a prominent product of high value, gigantic clientele and popular demand.
Having the formula for success, BlackBerry significantly underrated and absolutely did not
expect to focused on the dangers postured by other smart-cellphone innovation[Lui16].
For senior advisers at BlackBerry, there was a conclusion at the strategic level that the
organization would permit Apple to concentrate on the new smartphone concept which was a
dubious market to begin with, while BlackBerry would proceed with its attention on the current
plan of action. This confirms BlackBerry's slow response to embrace and presenting a new
smartphone of its own. For BlackBerry, its cell phones remained as profoundly separated with a
particular yet vast and effective market. In spite of this, the worth of BlackBerry's item was
inevitably overshadowed and dominated by the smart-cellphone industry, changing the scene for
all cell phone companies. BlackBerry inability to recognize, respond and adjust deliberately to
this troublesome advancement prompted the loss of its vital position[Ala16]. Because of this,
BlackBerry attempted to get the upper hand by attempting different types of strategies.
In late 2008, BlackBerry started to create its own particular smart-cellphones called the
Storm, trying to ride and keep up with the development of the uprising smartphone market.
Tragically, the organization did not secure a solid position as for the Storm met average sales,
buyer were not impressed with its features and software. The organization additionally couldn't
outsource and depend on the capabilities of other experienced engineers, for example the Google
Android. BlackBerry then settled on making a strategic choice to enter the developing market of
smartphones in Latin America and Asia, with a cost driven approach. The BB phones were
valued at a lower price of its rivals in these countries. This procedure empowered the
organization to pick up a brief upper hand as BlackBerry saw a relentless development by getting
a piece of the pie in these areas. With QNX software technology, BlackBerry then turned into the
tablet industry with the arrival of its own QNX-based tablet called the BlackBerry Playbook. The
Playbook again met negative results and was a business flounder for the organization, as it was
over-valued, with respect to its performance execution and technical abilities[Bla17].
Today, BlackBerry is not much focused on advertisement to the mass customer of
smartphones yet they rather concentrate on its specialty and niche that the product offers. The
organization has always had a strong reputation for its security frameworks and capacities which
speak solid for the organization. Rather than competing and securing its own position with
general shoppers in the very heavily saturated smartphone industry, BlackBerry is presently hoping to target and concentrate on big business and enterprises. From this current market's point
of view, BlackBerry's assets and services, especially in its security capacities which are
exceptional and esteemed contrasted than its contenders, BlackBerry could begin to stop the
decline of its overall revenue. “This strategic shift is evidenced by the BlackBerry’s recent
release of the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12, a cross-platform enterprise mobility
management platform that allows organizations the ability to securely manage mobile
devices[Lui16].”
BlackBerry's recent designated Chief Executive John Chen which appears in many media
conferences always emphasizes to the attention of BlackBerry's "strengths" by offering
companies security. This strategy guarantees a promise for many different reasons. Right off the
bat, the underlying achievement of BlackBerry at its initiation, was based on its security and
significance inside a company setting. BlackBerry speaks for itself under these grounds. Confirm
by the reality that BlackBerry items are the sole items utilized by many in controlled industries,
for example the United States' Department of Defense which has just to date approved,
BlackBerry gadgets for worker's utilization. Contrasted with this understanding, BlackBerry has
invested excessively energy and assets growing new skills to contend in the mass markets which
has been to a great extent unsuccessful. Security is winding up noticeably to be a great deal and
a problem that needs to be addressed now a days with all various types of cyber-attacks. As
information and network development continue to characterize the future, security turns into a
critical importance that could be hard to disregard[Ala16].
BlackBerry is also, attempting to diversify itself by introducing BlackBerry Messaging
Service (BBM) the company hopes to reach new consumers who aren't utilizing BlackBerry
products. “There has been great reception here as more than 40 million users have signed on to
use BBM[Lui16].” In the media, BlackBerry has an intent to create streaming for potential
BlackBerry user. The move is applicable, as the tremendous development would have to be made
in the current years for programming designers to develop.
However, with this being stated, this industry is very competitive and BlackBerry would
have to quickly distinguish itself from other products and sustain an upper hand here.
BlackBerry is likewise contributing $75 million in testing a self-sufficient vehicle in Ottawa,
Canada which expectations will produce income in 2018 and create a new digital security
improvement for the company[Ala16].
