“The dilemma for top-ranking companies is that by doing all of the things that lead to success, they may doom themselves to failure. Disruptive innovations typically debut at the low end of the market or among nonusers, as unprofitable, unpromising and crude products, in comparison to the mainstream standards. Then, established companies make the understandable mistake of ignoring them, only to be overtaken from below. Author Clayton M. Christensen’s previous classic, The Innovator’s Dilemma, identified this problem. This subsequent book offers a solution by helping managers identify potentially disruptive innovations, correctly read the market and the competitive environment, and develop a response. This book is not quite as innovative or provocative as its predecessor, but it is a valuable extension of Christensen’s theory. If you want to know what your company can do about this serious competitive problem, getAbstract.com recommends this solid follow-up.”

“A follow-up work to Clayton's The Innovator's Dilemma. This book really made me respect Clayton as a true management scholar, in the ranks with Peter Drucker and Henry Mintzberg, as he understands the importance of theory, and how to construct one. Even if you're not in the tech sector, you will find this work thought-provoking and useful.”
