The Innovator's Dilemma

Author: Clayton Christensen

Clayton Christensen’s “The Innovator’s Dilemma” is a game-changer. I couldn’t put it down. It’s not just another dry business book; it’s a wake-up call for anyone in tech or management. Christensen’s insights on disruptive innovation hit home, making me rethink everything I thought I knew about success in business. His real-world examples are fascinating, and I found myself nodding along, seeing parallels in my own industry. It’s a must-read that’ll stick with you long after you’ve finished the last page.

The reason why it is so difficult for existing firms to capitalize on disruptive innovations is that their processes and their business model that make them good at the existing business actually make them bad at competing for the disruption.
