Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry is a reported business history by journalists Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff. It examines Research in Motion, later known as BlackBerry, from its early work in wireless data technology to its period as a defining force in mobile communication and its rapid loss of relevance after the smartphone market changed. Drawing on access to executives, directors, competitors, and other participants, the book centers on the partnership between engineer Mike Lazaridis and dealmaker Jim Balsillie. Their complementary abilities helped turn secure mobile email and physical-keyboard devices into indispensable tools for corporate and political leaders. Yet the same organization struggled when Apple and Google shifted competition toward touch screens, software platforms, consumer applications, and faster product cycles. Rather than treating BlackBerry as a simple case of a company defeated by the iPhone, the book investigates leadership conflict, organizational strain, technical commitments, and strategic misjudgments. Its purpose is to explain how a technology pioneer can create a market and still fail to adapt when that market is redefined.
