Purpose and benefits

Christensen’s book faces up to a fundamental problem facing innovative companies—how to deal with breakthrough technologies when customers may not be ready for them. It argues that normal practice—focusing investment and development on the most profitable products, those that are in demand among top customers—may ultimately be damaging. The risk is that companies may reject innovative products that do not meet this criterion. Christensen explains how to overcome this problem and manage breakthrough products successfully.
