嗯,轮毂公司的没落小哈政府难辞其咎
加拿大东部时间9月20日下午消息,曾经的加拿大股王,智能手机制造商轮毂公司在苹果公司发售新手机之际发布自己的业绩预警,并宣布裁员4500人。轮毂公司股票尾盘暴跌20.47%至8.37美元。
轮毂公司剩下的也只能是拆分并出售而已,也许专利还能卖几个小钱,只是可惜了支持轮毂手机的用户的支持了。
这是继北电陨落之后的又一加拿大自主品牌的没落,且都发生在小哈治下。曾经的增加就业的许诺看来只是画饼充饥而已。美联储几次三番的救市行为就是明目张胆地干预市场经济的行为,只可惜小哈仍然执迷不悟。
The fall of NORTEL is even worse, under Liberal government.
In early 2001, when NORTEL plunged, Chretien told Canadian to buy NORTEL!
Fall of Nortel and RIM are the same. Bad decision of big company CEOs.
RIM CEO made bad decisions.
They feared to take risk.
Developers at RIM have the idea like iPad before Apple produces iPads, but that was turned down by RIM senior managers, after Apple released its iPad, and then Samsung followed with Tablets, RIM still struggling to have its own coming out, but missed the market totally.
RIM thinks its Blackberry is THE only cell phone, the BEST in the world, self-assured, bad decisions, lack of innovations are just some of the reasons why the company falls.
There was an article I read two years ago, it talked about the fall of big companies, like Nortel and RIM (especially RIM). When RIM was first started, it was a small company, all employees ideas were valued. When the company started to grow, it hired MORE (Senior and middle) managers from outside, those high paying managers fear to take risk, hence any ideas (and most important of all, innovations) usually stopped at those (fear to take risk) managers. Lots of meetings to justify a new product, and once you missed the market, you miss it forever.
Sorry, RIM, I can see writings on the walls two years ago. (And I hope I can find the link to that article).
It is always easy to blame the government that you don't like, like Ontario Liberals like to blame everything on Mike Harris who has retired from politics for more than ten years. They forget Mike is actually now hired by (Liberal) BELINDA Stronach"s father since he left politics.
Nearly all the fall of big companies are the results of bad and incompetent CEOs (look at what happen when Steve Job passed away, the once big computer company WANG), and we are not living in nanny state that government determines everything (actually, corruption is the worse in those nanny states).
I think we are lucky we immigrated to Canada (ask ourselves why we came here), and Canada is the best among G7.
People have to remember Pierre Trudeau has doublde Canada national debt (because of his social programs), Bob Rae has trebled Ontario debts (in five years), current Ontario Liberal probably will treble Ontario debt (Ontario is now a HAVE NOT province).
I have a friend who was smart and have left RIM months ago.
Just my two cents.
