Business Scholar and Author
Clayton M. Christensen was an American academic and professor at Harvard Business School who developed the hugely influential theory of disruptive innovation. His landmark book The Innovator's Dilemma became one of the most important business texts of the early 21st century.
by Clayton M. Christensen
Christensen shifts from diagnosing disruption to prescribing strategy: target non-consumption, not existing competitors. The key is creating new markets before disruptors take yours.
The books Clayton M. Christensen references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Clayton Christensen
Christensen explains why successful companies fail: they rationally ignore disruptive innovations that initially serve small, unprofitable markets, until those markets overtake them entirely.
by Jim Collins
Collins studied why some good companies become great and others do not. The answer: disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action, not bold transformation programmes.
by Geoffrey Moore
Moore identifies the dangerous gap between early adopters and the mainstream market that kills most tech products. Crossing this chasm requires focusing on a single beachhead segment and dominating it completely.
