The Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book that Will Change the Way You Do |
At the heart of The Innovator''s Dilemma is how a successful company with established products keeps from being pushed aside by newer, cheaper products that will, over time, get better and become a serious threat. Christensen writes that even the best-managed companies, in spite of their attention to customers and continual investment in new technology, are susceptible to failure no matter what the industry, be it hard drives or consumer retailing. Succinct and clearly written, The Innovator''s Dilemma is an important book that belongs on every manager''s bookshelf. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From AudioFile
When new technologies become available, how do established companies take advantage of these innovations without disrupting existing relationships with customers and stockholders? The managerial formula that solves this dilemma is far from simple, but this abridgment of the author''s 1997 book will be easily understood by anyone interested in technological revolutions. The clarity of these broad-brush ideas is just plain fascinating. The reader''s gravity and dramatic precision will be distracting for many people, but only for the first few minutes. After that, the big ideas in this program take over and captivate the listener''s attention.

From Booklist
The author, an associate professor at Harvard Business School, asks why some well-managed companies that stay on top of new technology and practice quality customer service can still falter. His own research brought a surprising answer to that question. Christensen suggests that by placing too great an emphasis on satisfying customers'' current needs, companies fail to adapt or adopt new technology that will meet customers'' unstated or future needs, and he argues that such companies will eventually fall behind. Christensen calls this phenomenon "disruptive technology" and demonstrates its effects in industries as diverse as the manufacture of hard-disk drives and mass retailing. He goes on to offer solutions by providing strategies for anticipating changes in markets. This book is another in the publisher''s Management of Innovation and Change series.

Rich Karlgaard , Forbes, December 14, 1998
"In a sea of mostly worthless business books, this is an upside surprise--sharply written and rigorous enough to be predictive. Christensen''s thesis: Great companies blow it precisely because they do everything right. He explains why top companies that had listened hard to customers and invested like crazy in new technologies still lost their market leadership when confronted with disruptive changes in technology and market structure. Poor managers are not to blame. Nor are bureaucracy, late technology or tired executive blood. The culprits are size and a company''s best customers....The Innovator''s Dilemma could be the wake-up call you need." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
