Why do successful companies fail even when they listen to customers, invest in innovation, and make seemingly sound business decisions? Clayton M. Christensen explains how established businesses become vulnerable to disruptive technologies that initially offer lower performance, smaller markets, and thinner profit margins. As these alternatives improve, they can eventually challenge established industry leaders.
Drawing on research from the disk drive, steel, retail, and computer industries, the book distinguishes sustaining innovation from disruptive innovation and examines how customer demands, resource allocation, and organizational capabilities influence business decisions. It introduces autonomous organizations, discovery-based planning, and strategies for navigating uncertain emerging markets. Entrepreneurs, marketers, and business owners will better understand how to evaluate disruptive opportunities, recognize changing customer needs, and balance existing business priorities with future growth.
