  Blackberry-Out of Juice! Introduction: Blackberry was founded in 1984 as a manufacturer of modems and pagers only. However, in 2000, BlackBerry launched its first smartphone model called BlackBerry 957. It is the first smartphone model with Internet surfing and dynamic email sending functions. In the 2000s, BlackBerry was known as a standard and premium brand not only for smart business people, but also for those who value privacy and security. But in 2007, when tech giant Apple launched its first smartphone. BlackBerry has experienced good competition in the market. Then, as technology evolved and companies like Google launched mobile phones, a great deal of competition began. Given BlackBerry's exponential growth chart, no one should have been surprised that the company would go bankrupt! And here begins the end of the BlackBerry era. Data set and Analysis: Given below is the graphical representation of worldwide market share of Blackberry smartphones from 2009 to 2
