Could read similar thoughts about Nokia. So, what is Apple's recipe against growing into a stumbling corporation and being blinded by your own success?
- ternaryoperator 3y agoMuch better marketing. RIM viewed the BB as a business tool. Apple viewed the iPhone as a consumer device and promoted it heavily that way. In short order, Apple had shipped more devices than RIM.
