Why the China plan was shelved

One of the many strategies that became a casualty of internal feuding at Research In Motion Ltd. was a confidential plan for a China-backed venture to sell the company’s wireless network systems in Asia.

In the summer of 2010, RIM’s chairwoman Barbara Stymiest and then co-chief executive officer Jim Balsillie approached the state-owned fund China Investment Corp. (CIC) with an overture to form a joint venture. According to people familiar with the discussions, Mr. Balsillie and CIC reached a preliminary understanding in 2011. Under the plan, Beijing agreed to approve RIM as the official supplier of wireless operating systems in China, one of world’s biggest and fastest growing mobile markets that was virtually closed to foreign competitors.

A new China-based company would be formed and owned by CIC, RIM and a handful of Chinese mobile phone makers. The venture would sell Chinese-made phones which, under a licensing agreement, would operate on RIM’s core software.

“Beijing was very keen to do this deal,” said one person involved in the talks.

Mr. Balsillie championed the venture as a lucrative window into the tightly controlled Chinese market. But according to insiders, RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis and a number of directors worried the plan would distract the company from its core focus on launching a new smartphone, the BlackBerry 10.

While RIM’s executives debated the China strategy internally for nearly two years, its potential Asian partners were left in the dark. “We heard nothing. The whole thing just frittered away,” said one person close to the Chinese partners.

Shortly after Thorsten Heins was appointed RIM’s CEO in 2013, the China plan was shelved. Mr. Heins declined in a statement to discuss the abandoned venture.

RIM最近幾年就是不斷的路線鬥爭，所以無法全力突破一個方向，人人都同意要改變但是沒有一個大家都同意的方向。
