About this source
A foundational work in innovation theory that explains why well-managed companies often fail when confronted with disruptive technologies. Through extensive research in the disk drive, excavator, steel, and other industries, Christensen identifies the principles that cause great firms to stumble and prescribes managerial strategies for harnessing these forces rather than fighting them.
