Too Long; Didn't Read
Do you remember the days when Nokia and RIM (That was the maker Blackberry, back in the days) ignored the advent of real Smartphones, in particular the first iPhone? This is evident in <a href="https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2015/05/26/blackberry-iphone-book/&refURL=https://www.google.de/&referrer=https://www.google.de/" target="_blank">those famous last words by Mr. Lazaridis, the c0-CEO of RIM</a>: “It’s OK — we’ll be fine”. History clearly shows us what happened next — Both RIM/Blackberry and Nokia have exited the handset business. But this post is not about how the mobile phone industry was disrupted, and how the innovator’s dilemma played out text book style. You can read about that in much more detail and accuracy in Clay Christensen’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma" target="_blank">work</a>.
