2011年16家增长最快的明星公司

RIM 

排名：第63位

连续在榜年数：3年

    2009年，黑莓生产商RIM（Research in Motion）可谓一颗明星。这家加拿大公司引领了整个国家的技术产业，卖出了它第5,000万台黑莓手机（Blackberry），并在当年的榜单上荣登榜首。

    2011年，对这家智能手机公司来说情况就不那么美妙了——它面临来自苹果公司和谷歌公司（Google）的激烈竞争，并且宣布将裁员2,000人。但是，有人认为，称RIM即将覆灭的言论极度言过其实。上一财年，黑莓手机的出货量增长40%，销售收入增长35%。此外，还有一个好消息：上一财季，它的国际销售收入比去年同期增长了67%。

Research in Motion

100 Fastest-Growing Rank: 63

Consecutive years on the list: 3

    In 2009, Research in Motion was a star. The Canadian company led the country's tech industry, sold its 50 millionth BlackBerry, and came in first place on Fortune's Fastest-Growing Companies list.

    In 2011, things aren't looking so rosy for the smartphone company -- it faces intense competition from Apple and Google and announced that it would lay off 2,000 employees. But some call the predictions of RIM's nearing demise greatly exaggerated. The last fiscal year saw a 40% increase in BlackBerry shipments and a 35% uptick in revenues. More good news: the last quarter international revenue grew 67% year over year.
