The Innovator's Dilemma - The Revolutionary Book That Will Change the Way You Do Business
Authors: Clayton Christensen
I've read this book a couple times, I thought it's a classy book that makes you want to pick it up from time to time.
Why It's a Must-Read:
This book shows how successful, outstanding companies can do everything “right” and yet still lose their market leadership – or even fail – as new, unexpected competitors rise and take over the market. Through this compelling multi-industry study, Christensen introduces his seminal theory of “disruptive innovation” that has changed the way managers and CEOs around the world think about innovation. Sharp, cogent, provocative, and one of the most influential business books of all time—The Innovator's Dilemma is the book no manager or entrepreneur should be without.

"Three classes of factors affect what an organization can and cannot do: its resources, its processes, and its values.”
“The techniques that worked so extraordinarily well when applied to sustaining technologies, however, clearly failed badly when applied to markets or applications that did not yet exist.”
