The bestselling classic on disruptive innovation by renowned author Clayton M. Christensen. A Wall Street Journal and Businessweek Bestseller. Named by the Economist as one of the six most important books about business ever written. Named by Fast Company as one of the most influential leadership books in its Leadership Hall of Fame. His work is cited by the world's best-known thought leaders, from Steve Jobs to Malcolm Gladwell. In this classic bestseller—one of the most influential business books of all time—innovation expert Clayton Christensen shows how even the most outstanding companies can do everything right yet still lose market leadership. Now with a foreword by Marc Benioff, the cofounder and CEO of Salesforce, Christensen explains why most companies miss out on new waves of innovation. No matter the industry, he says, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know how and when to abandon traditional business practices. Offering both successes and failures from leading companies as a guide, The Innovator’s Dilemma gives you a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation. Sharp, cogent, and provocative—and consistently noted as one of the most valuable business ideas of all time— The Innovator’s Dilemma is the book no manager, leader, or entrepreneur should be without. Review: One of the best - Has the author been selective with the examples. Sure. Are there cases out there that do not fit the theory, yes a few . But no strategic framework covers all cases across time, and businesses changes their behaviours in light of such frameworks becoming known. This book remains still very relevant and insightful, even 25 years on. Review: Great read - Enough reviews out there on this. My colleague was actually taught by him and sounds like in real life he was great lecturer too. If you’re role involves getting ideas accepted (not killed) and new products out in an big company with corporate immune system, this is a must read.

One of the must read books to understanding Product Discovery and Distribution Better!
[book:The Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book that Will Change the Way You Do Business|2615] In the whole spectrum of Product Discovery, Development and Distribution, If you want to have a firm grasp , go in detail in the Product Discovery phase than this book is one of the must reads. This book introduces reader to Why do well-managed companies fail? He concludes that they often fail because the very management practices that have allowed them to become industry leaders also make it extremely difficult for them to develop the disruptive technologies that ultimately steal away their markets. The introduces reader to 1. Principles of Disruptive Technologies 2. Characteristics of Disruptive Technologies 2. Best Practices for (Product) Managers when faced with disruptive technologies The authors goes in depth in case studies of Disk Drive Industry, Excavator Industry, their Product Life Cycles. If you get the gist of it, you can skim the pages and make your eyes look for the meat inside the book. The last chapter on applying the principles to EV(Electronic Vehicles) Industry is fascinating. The final "Book Guide Chapter" Summarizes the concepts learnt in the book well. In pursuit to understand Product Discovery better along with this book I would recommend readers other books along with this book as a package namely Crossing the Chasm by Moore, Competitive Strategy by Michael Porter, Continuous Discovery Habits, Blue Ocean Strategy, 7 Powers by Hamilton Helmer.
