Important Note About This Ebook
Summary of The Innovator’s Solution (Clayton Christensen Michael Raynor)
Book Abstract
Main IDea
Innovation
The capital markets demand that all companies should grow by commercializing new innovations. Those companies which achieve this are rewarded spectacularly, yet in practice only one company in ten is able to deliver consistent and profitable growth. Why? It’s not because they don’t have good ideas or good managers, but because most companies actually end up unwittingly watering down the disruptive potential of their most creative new business ideas.
The Innovator’s Dilemma
The innovator’s dilemma is that when industry leaders focus too closely on their most profitable customers and businesses, they can miss seeing the potential of disruptive new innovations that can create new growth markets from scratch.
The Innovator’s Solution
The solution to this dilemma is for companies to become skilled at creating and harnessing these disruptions themselves to grow new businesses that take advantage of disruptive innovations. This requires aligning every resource to support the overall disruptive initiative.
