About this title: In the worldwide bestseller, "The Innovator's Dilemma", Clayton M. Christensen exposed a crushing paradox behind the failure of many industry leaders. By doing what good companies were supposed to do-focus on pleasing their most profitable customers-leaders were paving the way for their own demise. How? By ignoring 'disruptive technologies' - new, cheaper innovations that initially target small customer segments but evolve to displace the reigning product. Now, Christensen and coauthor Michael E. Raynor cut the Gordian knot of the 'innovator's dilemma' with "The Innovator's Solution".This ...

"For a Harvard Business book, this one isn't bad; makes some interesting points, and has a more coherent feel to it than many business books, especially those in the HBS Press which seem to have a fairly strong editorial style.
Down side: makes the usual promises and doesn't really deliver on several, and makes quite a few contradictions (see style note above).
Overall, worth a read, but I don't know why all these books seem to feel like they're pimping some other book, report or consultancy."
"Because I never entered the corporate world, for which I had actually prepared in college, I've belatedly been curious about the theory and practice of business. So I read books like this one, a Harvard Business School sequel to the bestseller, The Innovator's Dilemma. In the fast paced competition to sell products whose life-cycles are becoming shorter and shorter, what's a big corporation to do? How do those latest dizzying array of innovations, such as the smart phones, net books, twitters, hybrid cars, electronic book readers, plasma TVs, Blu-Rays, and other novel goods and services ever get masterminded into the market, at such an unrelenting pace? And actually more to the point of this book, if you're a lumbering behemoth of a corporation, how do you keep nimble enough with this kind of non-stop disruptive innovation to make sure you don't get left behind by the creativity of the competition? I was intrigued about what the answer might be, and so I read this book. It's a science that can be mastered, the book explains fully."
"Good overview of how big companies can create innovative solutions and get over their inherent"company values" such as "all new products must have 40% margins" even if a new oppty can make a ton of $$ at a lower margin"
