    Story
    "A must-read for technologists"

    I work in the technology industry, which seems to progress in fits and spurts, through disruptive innovations that become mainstream products within mere years, not decades. This book was eye-opening in its exploration of disruptive innovations, the conditions under which they succeed, their effect on "established" players...how (if) a disruptive innovation can be defended against by the established players..

    Very interesting read.

    Story
    "Possibly the best business book available"

    I found this book to be a refreshing no BS analysis of the business of innovation

    It is well articulated well researched and puts forward a clear, precise and consistent idea that is backed up and explained in real world case studies.

    Story
    "A easy to understand presentation of a complex sub"
    Would you listen to The Innovator's Solution again? Why?

    yes, for reminding me on the points and making notes of relevant models to use


    Any additional comments?

    The reader should be complemented on making the material alive and making it easy to understand. Good prononsiations makes the listening to a good alternative to reading the book. Well done :)

    Story
    "Insightful!"
    If you could sum up The Innovator's Solution in three words, what would they be?

    Move up-market.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I enjoyed the way that they were able to back up each assertion with relevant examples.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes. I typically listen to my audio books at triple-speed (which, surprisingly is still easy to understand). As a result, I was able to listen to this book over the course of a day.

    Story
    "Perplexed..."

    This book is like a labyrinth of tips and solutions to innovation.

    It starts off like this "In case you meet condition A and condition B, while condition C is avoidable, you should do action X to expect outcome Z".

    Now, this starts to get super annoying when the list goes beyond handful.

    As the situation can be assessed differently from a person to another person, this book stands far from its original intention: to provide a solution for people at loss on innovation

    Maybe it was too much to ask Professor Christensen to come up with a solution. His issue raising with innovator's dilemma is maybe where the series should have stopped at.
