The Innovator's Dilemma

When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail

De: Clayton M. Christensen

Narrado por: L.J. Ganser

His work is cited by the world's best-known thought leaders, from Steve Jobs to Malcolm Gladwell. In this classic best seller - 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. 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.

Brilliant

Absolutely brilliant. Insightful analysis into how technology business flourishes or fails through leadership, and organizational behavior.

Lectura obligatoria en temas de innovación

Aunque este libro fue escrito hace ya bastante tiempo, su relevancia y su utilidad no dejan de permanecer intactos. Clayton Christensen describe con un lenguaje muy fácil de entender los diferentes aspectos sobre la innovación causada por cambios tecnológicos o por la introducción de nuevas tecnologías. Durante todo el texto se presentan datos estadísticos para sustentar las premisas principales en casos de diferentes industrias. Se hacen recomendaciones para personas en posiciones gerenciales para evitar caer en los mismos errores cometidos en sectores que han acusado una disrrupción tecnológica y buenas prácticas para aprovechar y potenciar el cambio. En general, conceptos que con la velocidad de cambio tecnológico actual son más importantes comprender que al momento de su publicación.

great insight

great insight, a little dry for me sometimes but good info to think about. would be a good read for investors

speed it up

if you are already heavily involved in the tech scene, put this at 1.5x. he spends way too long explaining simple tech like why hydraulics are more reliable than cable actuated systems

Informative

Even though this book is several decades old, it is still full of relevant information for today’s business environment.
