The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail

About the book

Clayton Christensen investigates why successful, well-managed companies can lose their leading positions when new technologies emerge. Using examples of businesses that adapted and others that failed, he explains how established products and familiar management practices can make disruptive opportunities difficult to recognize or pursue. The book develops a framework for understanding these tensions and deciding when a company must change the methods that previously made it successful.
