内容简介 The solution to the worldwide bestseller - "The Innovator's Dilemma" argues that innovation is not as random as we think - and offers practical guidance for leveraging and managing disruptive technologies. The only way to ensure long-term growth is through innovation. Clay Christensen's "The Innovator's Dilemma" showed exactly how tough that challenge is by laying out the vexing problem facing large companies all over the globe. By doing all the "right" things to keep their current business strong and their best customers happy, Christensen said, successful industry leaders were opening the door for "disruptive technologies" to bury them. The book became an international bestseller and catapulted Christensen to guru-status as the world's premiere expert on this timely topic. Now, based on five years of research into the innovative processes that shape disruptive technologies, Christensen offers the long-awaited "Innovator's Solution". Written with Deloitte consultant Michael Raynor, this groundbreaking book reveals that innovation is not as unpredictable as most managers have come to believe.
While the outcomes of past innovations seem random, the process by which innovations are packaged and shaped within companies is very predictable. This book opens the black box of innovation to reveal the critical forces that impact the shaping of innovations from inception to launch within organizations, and shows what managers must do to avoid the preponderance of "me-too" innovations and increase the odds of creating truly disruptive growth. It is written by the world's premiere expert on disruptive technologies. Christensen is internationally known and highly respected and has a built-in audience waiting for his latest new thinking. The first book to offer practical guidance for managing disruptive technologies.
Counterintuitive new theories on innovation based on solid research: as with "Innovator's Dilemma," this book is based on years of research and the authors' theories have been tested on hundreds of cases across industries. It makes innovation less random by identifying the processes that underlie all successful innovations and suggests ways to master these processes. It is a timely solution to the growth dilemma.
It definitively shows why growth efforts so often fail and how to reverse this trend.
From Publishers Weekly
Christensen (The Innovator's Dilemma) analyzes the strategies that allow corporations to successfully grow new businesses and outpace the other players in the marketplace. Christensen's earlier book examined how focusing on profits can destroy even well-run corporations, while this book focuses on companies expanding by being "disruptors" who are able to outpace their entrenched competition. The authors (Christensen is a professor at Harvard Business School and Raynor, a director at Deloitte Research) examine the nine business decisions integral to growth, including product development, organizational structure, financing and key customer base. They cite such companies as IBM, AT&T, Sony, Microsoft and others to illustrate their points. Generally, the writing is clear and specific. For example, in discussing whether a company has the resources necessary for growth, the authors say, "In order to be confident that managers have developed the skills required to succeed at a new assignment, one should examine the sorts of problems they have wrestled with in the past. It is not as important that managers have succeeded with the problem as it is for them to have wrestled with it and developed the skills and intuition for how to meet the challenge successfully the next time around"; they then provide a real-life example of a software company. Similar important strategies give readers insights that they can use in their own workplaces. People looking for quick fixes may find the charts, diagrams and extensive footnotes daunting, but readers familiar with more technical business management tomes will find this one both stimulating and beneficial.
Book Description
In the worldwide bestseller The Innovator's Dilemma, Clayton M. Christensen exposed a crushing paradox behind the failure of many industry leaders. By doing what good companies were supposed to do-focus on pleasing their most profitable customers-leaders were paving the way for their own demise. How? By ignoring "disruptive technologies"-new, cheaper innovations that initially target small customer segments but evolve to displace the reigning product.
Now, Christensen and coauthor Michael E. Raynor cut the Gordian knot of the "innovator's dilemma" with The Innovator's Solution. This groundbreaking book reveals that innovation is not as unpredictable as most managers have come to believe. While the outcomes of past innovations seem random, the process by which innovations are packaged and shaped within companies is very predictable. By understanding and managing the forces that influence this process, companies can shape high-octane business plans that create truly disruptive growth.
Drawing on years of in-depth research and using new theories tested in hundreds of companies across many industries, the authors identify the processes that create successful innovations, and show managers how to tailor their strategies to the changing circumstances of a dynamic world.
Comprehensive yet practical, The Innovator's Solution is an actionable prescription for innovation-driven, profitable growth.
"A good business book makes managers stop and think. A great business book teaches managers how to stop and think. This is a great book. It is hard to imagine an executive team that would not benefit from devoting an entire day to discussing it."
-Geoffrey Moore, Chairman and Founder, TCG Advisors, and author, Crossing the Chasm and Living on the Fault Line
"In The Innovator's Solution, Christensen and Raynor address the holy grail of all organizations: how to generate growth and sustain it over long periods. Avoiding the temptation to provide simplistic formulas, they guide the reader through carefully constructed frameworks that teach how to think about the issues that limit-and provide-growth to organizations."
-Dr. Andrew S. Grove, Chairman of the Board, Intel
"Christensen and Raynor have done a superb job of creating a framework for helping to understand the industry dynamics and for planning your own growth alternatives."
-Pekka Ala-Pietil?, President, Nokia Corporation
"Singapore, as a small nation, needs to be innovative and sensitive to disruptive changes more than other countries. Christensen and Raynor have provided an excellent framework to reduce the randomness of the innovation process. This framework will help in our effort to nurture an environment conducive for enterprises to create and capitalize on disruptive innovations."
-Teo Ming Kian, Chairman, Singapore Economic Development Board
"The Innovator's Solution goes directly to the heart of why large companies have failed to sustain innovation. Christensen and Raynor have a deep insight into the challenges that innovative companies face, and they propose practical, realistic solutions to the dilemmas of innovation. This book will be extremely useful to all managers who are committed to using innovation to sustain their growth."
-Bill George, former Chairman and CEO, Medtronic, Inc.
