My point is that focusing on "maximizing shareholder value" instead of innovation and customer experience is what got RIM in trouble in the first place. It seems no lessons have been learned.

"maximizing shareholder value" is the purpose of a public traded company, including Apple.

Jobs did it by out-innovating, out-marketing and other stuff. RIM CEO is trying to do it his way. (which may or may not be successful.)
