An article in Yesterday's Daily Press by Andrea Chang called "Heat on Blackberry to hang up on phones" showed me that Blackberry is in the trough part of the business cycle. The author thinks that if Blackberry keeps on trying to sell smart phones then they will never enter a reconstructing stage. In the business cycle, this means they will never reach a peak again. Blackberry is trying to transform its business model to save itself. I think this is a smart decision because the company is obviously not doing to well in the smart phone department. I hardly see Blackberry phones at all anymore. To other businesses in the smart phine market, mainly Apple and Android, this is probably good because even if it was a very weak competitor, it still is decreasing the competition a little bit.

Blackberry has to change if they want to be successful. I also have not seen somebody with a Blackberry in a long time.
ReplyDeleteBlackberry does need to find something to add to their product to get demand for their products higher. Apple just came out with two new iPhones, and Samsung recently let out their Galaxy S4, I hope Blackberry does something to keep competition high.
ReplyDeleteThat true. A few years ago Blackberry was a huge and popular company then Apple came and completely gained all popularity.
ReplyDeleteThe reason Blackberry doesn't sell anymore is because unlike other smartphones, they don't have touch screens or a user friendly interface. They really need to update their product if they want to regain any market strength.
ReplyDeleteI remember when blackberreis were very popular, if they came out with a smart phone that would be amazing
ReplyDeleteI honestly forgot that Blackberry was even still a company, apple sure has made quite a monopoly.
