Publisher's Synopsis
Great companies can fail--not because they do anything wrong, but because they do everything right. Meeting customers' current needs leads firms to reject breakthrough innovations--"disruptive technologies" that create the products and opportunities of the future.
Radical thinking...and a wake-up call. Citing examples from many industries (computers, retailing, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, steel), Clayton M. Christensen explains how to avoid a similar fate. He presents strategies for determining when not to listen to customers, when to pursue small markets at the expense of larger ones, and other ways to ensure long-term growth and profit. This award-winning book shows managers the changes that may be coming--and how to respond for success.
