Christensen offers a breath of fresh air in this guide that outlines new ways to think about managing innovation. In The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail , Christensen makes readers understand the complexities of the relationships between technological change and success in business, and urges the need for balancing the development of disruptive and sustaining technologies. From the Publisher How Great Firms Fail By Doing Everything Right Harvard professor Clayton M. Christensen demonstrates in the most revolutionary business book in years why outstanding companies that did everything right-were in tune with the competition, listened to customers, and invested aggressively in new technologies still lost their market leadership when confronted with disruptive changes in technology and market structure ... and he tells how to avoid a similar fate as business races online into the twenty-first century. The Innovator’s Dilemma eloquently demonstrates a shattering paradox: that the best of conventional good business practices can ultimately weaken a great firm. There is a certain type of technological innovation that Christensen labels disruptive technology, which mainstream customers initially reject. Following these customers causes well-managed firms to allow strategic innovations to languish. The solution? Create a subsidiary entirely focused on the emerging market, one that is free to be visionary while courting an unorthodox customer base and staying poised to catch the next great wave of industry growth. Sharp, cogent, and provocative, The Innovator’s Dilemma is one of the most talked about business books of our time-and something that none of today’s executives will dare to be without. About the Author Clayton M. Christensen is a professor at the Harvard Business School.
