The Innovator's Dilemma
The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail | Clayton Christensen
An innovation classic. From Steve Jobs to Jeff Bezos, Clay Christensen’s work continues to underpin today’s most innovative leaders and organizations. The bestselling classic on disruptive innovation, by renowned author Clayton M. Christensen. His work is cited by the world’s best-known thought leaders, from Steve Jobs to Malcolm Gladwell. In this classic bestseller—one of the most influential business books of all time—innovation expert Clayton Christensen shows how even the most outstanding companies can do everything right—yet still lose market leadership. Christensen explains why most companies miss out on new waves of innovation. No matter the industry, he says, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know how and when to abandon traditional business practices. Offering both successes and failures from leading companies as a guide, The Innovator’s Dilemma gives you a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation. Sharp, cogent, and provocative—and consistently noted as one of the most valuable business ideas of all time—The Innovator’s Dilemma is the book no manager, leader, or entrepreneur should be without.

"But when established firms wait until a new technolohy has become commercially mature in its new applications and lauch their own version of the technology only as a response to an attack on their home markets, the fear of cannibalization can become a self-fulfilling prophecy"

quote
MayaHodroj

"The fear of cannibilizing sales of existing products is often cited as a reason why established firms delay the introduction of new technologies. However, if new technologies enable new market applications to emerge, the introduction of new technology may not inherently be cannibalistic..."
