Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Review:"Absolutely brilliant. Clayton Christensen provides an insightful analysis of changing technology and its importance to a company's future success." Michael R. Bloomberg, CEO & Founder, Bloomberg Financial Markets Review:"The Innovator's Dilemma is becoming a handbook for CEOs remaking their businesses for the Net." BusinessWeek Review:"I cannot recommend this book strongly enough - ignore it at your peril." Martin Fakley, Information Access Synopsis:A wide range of industries, such as the computer, discount retailing, and the automobile industries are analyzed in this book, the aim being to provide managers with a new perspective on their customers and products.

Synopsis:"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.
