Provocative, cogent and right on track, here's a book that comes right out and states that even the best-managed companies, with all their investment in the latest technologies and attention to customer care, are susceptible to failure. It doesn't matter what the industry, be it high technology or retailing, this susceptibility exists. Author Christensen's book presents a set of rules that defy convention on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation, using the real-world lessons of successes and failures of leading companies today. The innovator's dilemma is this: when does one apply the rules of disruptive innovation that goes so much head-to-head against the conventional wisdom? The author offers some good examples of disruptive technologies that helped to redefine the competitive landscape of their respective markets. He shows clearly that these products did not come about as the result of successful companies carrying out solid business practices in established markets. The case is made where these and other products cut into the bottom of the marketplace and evolved to displace competitors at the top end of their field, and displace their dominant technologies as well. Provocative and cogent, this is one of the most talked about business books of our time, and is one that belongs on every project manager's briefcase.

Great new ideas are born either in small organisations or in small independent groups within large organisations - you have to be small enough to appreciate small successes when you are developing tomorrows bright perspectives.

This is a great book about the history of business in the late 1900's, and has some interesting case studies of major companies. Unless you're a CEO or very high management at a big company though, this won't have much relevance to your actual career. Still very worthwhile though, and gives a great insight into why certain businesses succeed or fail.

Very good theory on how many companies have a hard time coping with new technologies. The book explains how investment in these disruptive technologies cannot be justified in a boardroom using conventional cost-benefit analysis but end up toppling even great firms. Easy to read and the examples are quite good (although not everybody is a fan of hard disks).
