Losing the signal

This book tells the story of BlackBerry from its humble beginnings above a bagel store in Ontario to its peak as the world's fastest-growing company.

It highlights the unlikely partnership between visionary engineer Mike Lazaridis and Harvard Business School grad Jim Balsillie, and how internal feuds and chaotic growth, coupled with the entry of Apple and Google into the mobile phone market, led to the company's downfall.

The narrative is based on extensive research and interviews with key players, senior executives, directors, and competitors.
