The Innovator's Dilemma

In this influential business book, Clayton Christensen shows how even the most outstanding companies can lose market leadership when they fail to adapt to disruptive innovations.

Christensen explains why companies often miss new waves of innovation and provides a set of rules for capitalizing on disruptive technologies.

The book uses examples from various industries, including the disk drive, mechanical excavator, steel, and computer industries, to illustrate trends that lead to success or failure in the face of disruptive technologies.
