Book Reviews of The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail (Management of Innovation and Change Series)

Book Review: Excellent analysis of growing industries and opportunities
Summary: 5 Stars

This book provides an insightful analysis of growth opportunities provided by technological breakthroughs. It allows the reader to understand how the capacities that led firms to success may also lead to eventual failure. In addition, it explains why firms often fail to pursue new technologies that do not serve their immediate customer base and how that inaction may result in their demise. The book is lucidly written and provides ample examples to support the hypothesis. It is one of the few business books today that provides new insight into exploiting technological innovation.
