According to analysts, it appears highly unlikely that the new Research in Motion (RIM) CEO Thorsten Heins will not be able to bring about such widespread across-the-board changes to the company that its market-share losses can be stemmed effectively.

Heins, 54, recently took over the reins of the struggling BlackBerry maker after the resignation of the company’s co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis. His appointment comes at a time when sweeping changes are being expected from RIM such that the company can, once again, move in the direction of profits.
