Book summary

With numerous case studies of diverse industries, this business analysis investigates how a company's adoption of "sustaining" and "disruptive" emerging technologies affects its long-term stability.

Media Reviews


"Easy for managers today to vow: 'I won't make that mistake!' Christensen brilliantly shows how they make the mistake anyway....This book ought to chill any executive who feels bulletproof--and inspire entrepreneurs aiming their guns."

   -- Toni Mack, Forbes

Publisher Notes


"The Innovator's Dilemma" provides new ways to think about managing innovation by balancing the development of disruptive and sustaining technologies. "Brings new and fresh insights and understanding to the complex and critically important relationships between technological change and business success".--Richard N. Foster, Director, McKinsey & Co., Inc.



Excerpt


Finding new applications and markets for these new products seems to be a capability that each of these firms exhibited once, upon entry, and then apparently lost. It was as if the leading firms were held captive by their customers, enabling attacking entrant firms to topple the incumbent industry leaders each time a disruptive technology emerged.
