Clayton Christensen’s The Innovator’s Dilemma examines why successful companies often fail to adapt to disruptive technologies. Through real-world examples, including the fall of once-dominant firms, Christensen argues that businesses focusing solely on current customer needs can miss innovations that reshape industries. He introduces the concept of “disruptive innovation”—simpler, cheaper alternatives that gradually overtake established products. The book offers insights for entrepreneurs, managers, and leaders on how to foster innovation before it’s too late. Widely influential in tech and business, it challenges conventional wisdom and urges a proactive approach to navigating technological change.
