...------------------------------------------------- History Mike Lazaridis - Founder and former co-CEO of BlackBerry The first BlackBerry device, the 850, was introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager in Munich, Germany. The name BlackBerry was coined by the marketing company Lexicon Branding. The name was chosen due to the resemblance of the keyboard's buttons to that of the drupelets that compose the blackberry fruit. In 2003, the more commonly known smart phone BlackBerry was released, which supports push email, mobile telephone, text messaging, Internet network. BlackBerry first made headway in the marketplace by concentrating on email. RIM currently offers BlackBerry email service to non-BlackBerry devices, such as the Palm Treo, through its BlackBerry Connect software. The original BlackBerry device had a monochrome display, but all current models have colour displays. All models, except for the Storm series and the all-touch Torch 9850/9860 have a built-in QWERTY keyboard, optimized for "thumbing", the use of only the thumbs to type. The Storm 1 and Storm 2 include a Sure Type keypad for typing. Originally, system navigation was achieved with the use of a scroll wheel mounted on the right side of phones prior to the 8700. The track wheel was replaced by the trackball with the introduction of the Pearl series which allowed for 4 way scrolling. The trackball was replaced by the optical track pad with the introduction of the Curve 8500 series. Models made to use iDEN networks...

These organizations have typically established a new unit at the corporate level to oversee all strategy related activities; it is called Office of the Strategy Management (OSM). The OSM when created becomes the central point for coordinating and facilitating the process of communicating of corporate strategy; ensuring that enterprise-level plans are translated into the plans of the various units and departments; executing strategic initiatives to deliver on the grand plan; and aligning employees’ competency development plans, and their personal goals and incentives, with strategic objectives. Strategy Management: The New Support Function The problem with the “The Old Strategy Calendar” where throughout the year, different teams and units engages in performance reviews, corporate communication, and knowledge sharing is that the activities are carried out largely in isolation and without guidance from the enterprise strategy.

...Capitalizing on Complexity Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study This study is based on face-to-face conversations with more than 1,500 chief executive officers worldwide. Samuel J. Palmisano Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer IBM Corporation Letter from the Chairman 3 A note to fellow CEOs In the first chapter of this report on dealing with complexity, the CEO of an industrial products company calls the economic environment of 2009 “a wake-up call.” I agree. I’d only add that it was just the latest in a series of alerts that sounded during the first decade of this new century. In a very short time, we’ve become aware of global climate change; of the geopolitical issues surrounding energy and water supplies; of the vulnerabilities of supply chains for food, medicine and even talent; and of sobering threats to global security. The common denominator? The realities — and challenges — of global integration. We occupy a world that is connected on multiple dimensions, and at a deep level — a global system of systems. That means, among other things, that it is subject to systems-level failures, which require systems-level thinking about the effectiveness of its physical and digital infrastructures. It is this unprecedented level of interconnection and interdependency that underpins the most important findings contained in this report. Inside this revealing view into the agendas of global business and public sector leaders, three widely...

...direct Memo from the President and CEO of Meherban Marketing Enterprises, Hyderabad, as part of company policy. To : All staff From : Vivaan Gupta President and CEO Date : 18 July 2014 Subject : Cutting Down Tour Expenditure of Officers In the recent months, I has been noticed that there is a spurt in the tour expenditure incurred by our officers when they had gone on tours/visits. This was not only a wasteful expenditure, but also sets a poor example to our subordinates. In view of the above, may I request to all the heads of divisions, to see that not more than 5% of the officers be sent on visits/tours at any one time. As far as possible they should not stay in accommodation which is higher than their entitlement/permissible allowance. The laundry expenses in a large number of cases which had exceeded the cost of board. I guess it is the time that with immediate effect a flat laundry allowance of Rs. 5/- per day should be granted. Entertainment allowance was also on the higher side. I would like to invite your opinion on the amount, which should be admissible. Personally, I think Rs. 15/- per day would be more than adequate. In addition, I received a representation from the officer’s union that they require a hike in their conveyance/fuel allowance, at Hyderabad. I am sure that all Divisional heads would motivate their staff to see this request of mine in its correct perspective. This policy may be put into effect from...

...LOPEZ Ayanna Kirton, Staff Reporter IN RECENT years the term 'business ethics' has taken on new relevance in the wake of accounting scandals that have discredited some of the world's largest and well-respected companies. The list includes WorldCom (now MCI), Tyco International, Parmalat, and Enron whose financial executives have faced charges and possible jail time for financial misdeeds. Now, the Business Roundtable (BRT) aims to restore public confidence in Corporate America with a US$3 million initiative to educate future CEOs on business ethics. According to an article published by Business Week, on January 14, 2004, the BRT, an association of 150 chief executive officers of leading United States companies, announced it was creating a new business-ethics centre. The Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics will be housed at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business Administration. The BRT hopes to deflect criticism of CEO excesses by developing a business school ethics curriculum as well as train executives and conduct research. Ethics education and training are important elements in the creation of ethically sensitive business cultures. In a presentation on Jamaican Business Ethics, Dr. Michael Witter, senior lecturer and head of the Department of Economics at the University of the West Indies (UWI), said to understand business ethics, a clearer understanding of the meaning of the phrase was critical.

The company is well known for its innovations in supply chain management and electronic commerce, particularly its direct-sales model and its "build-to-order" or "configure to order" approach to manufacturing—delivering individual PCs configured to customer specifications. Dell was a pure hardware vendor for much of its existence, but with the acquisition in 2009 of Perot Systems, Dell entered the market for IT services. The company has since made additional acquisitions in storage and networking systems, with the aim of expanding their portfolio from offering computers only to delivering complete solutions for enterprise customers. Dell was listed at number 51 in the Fortune 500 list, until 2014. After going private in 2013, the newly confidential nature of its financial information prevents the company from being ranked by Fortune.

...Emerging Markets Perspectives - CEO Insights Emerging Markets Perspectives - CEO Insights 1 Convergence & Differentiation What is success in a connected world?* Methodology This report was developed to provide a unique perspective from which to view the successes of companies based in emerging markets. While there are many reports providing valuable insights on how multinationals can expand into emerging markets, very few take a systematic approach towards looking at how emerging-market companies have not only fended off developed-world multinationals, but also found their own ways to expand into foreign markets. In addition to drawing on the insights of PricewaterhouseCoopers partners and associates from every market, we relied on two additional sources: 1. The 11th Annual PwC Global CEO Survey: The authoritative analysis of CEO views on business opportunities and risks of operating in an increasingly connected world. PricewaterhouseCoopers has published the survey for more than a decade, reaching out to more than 1,100 chief executive officers worldwide. The 11th Annual Global CEO Survey was launched in January 2008 at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos. The survey data were re-analysed for this report at the country level as well as by contrasting insights from developed versus emerging markets.
