DailyFinance has a list of 9 CEOs who need to be fired, and guess who is on the list? RIM Co-CEO's Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis. What is particularly bad is the RIM CEOs are number 2 on the list. You can't get much worse than that.
"Research In Motion is probably on nearly everybody's list of companies in need of a new CEO. Jim Balsillie has been co-CEO since 1992; Mike Lazaridis shares the top job with him. RIM has received as much press coverage as nearly any major consumer electronics company over the last year. It has hemorrhaged market share, which has been gained by Apple (AAPL) and a number of companies that produce smartphones based on the Google (GOOG) Android mobile operating system. Market research shows that RIM is the no. 3 or no. 4 smartphone company in both the U.S. and abroad, and that its piece of those markets has continued to fall quickly."
What do you think? Should RIM get some new blood at the top, or stick with the guys that have guided them thus far.
