by Thomas H. Davenport and Jeanne G. Harris
Davenport and Harris argue that in industries where products and processes have converged, analytics is becoming the primary basis of competition, and they profile companies like Capital One, Harrah's, and Amazon that embedded data-driven decision making into their strategy. They outline five stages of analytical maturity and the organisational capabilities required to move up them.
The books Thomas H. Davenport and Jeanne G. Harris 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 companies that sustained exceptional performance for decades. The key: preserve a core ideology while relentlessly adapting strategies. Vision without dogma.
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.
