An innovation classic. From Steve Jobs to Jeff Bezos, Clay Christensen’s work continues to underpin today’s most innovative leaders and organizations.

A seminal work on disruption—for everyone confronting the growth paradox.

For readers of the bestselling The Innovator’s Dilemma—and beyond—this definitive work will help anyone trying to transform their business right now.

In The Innovator’s Solution, Clayton Christensen and Michael Raynor expand on the idea of disruption, explaining how companies can and should become disruptors themselves. This classic work shows just how timely and relevant these ideas continue to be in today’s hyper-accelerated business environment.

Christensen and Raynor give advice on the business decisions crucial to achieving truly disruptive growth and propose guidelines for developing your own disruptive growth engine. The authors identify the forces that cause managers to make bad decisions as they package and shape new ideas—and offer new frameworks to help create the right conditions, at the right time, for a disruption to succeed. This is a must-read for all senior managers and business leaders responsible for innovation and growth, as well as members of their teams.

Based on in-depth research and theories tested in hundreds of companies across many industries, The Innovator’s Solution is a necessary addition to any innovation library—and an essential read for entrepreneurs and business builders worldwide.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and National Post Bestseller.

Praise for The Innovator’s Solution:

The Financial Times
“Fresh thinking aplenty . . . nothing less than a handbook for managers who would rather disrupt than be disrupted.”

Fast Company
“Every dilemma demands a solution. And this book lives up to its promise: More than an engrossing read, shot through with Christensen’s rigorous thinking and trademark clarity, it’s a valuable tool for every aspiring upstart—whether you’re inside a billion-dollar company or have a billion-dollar glimmer in your eye.”

The New York Times
“If [Christensen’s] first book left business with the quandary of how a middle-aged company can be as creative as the new kid on the block, [this] book is an instructive tutorial on how to rekindle the spark of youth and nurture the fragile flame.”

The Miami Herald
“The Innovator’s Solution is an intelligent, perceptive (and frequently counterintuitive) look at innovation, and well worth the time it takes to read and digest it to gain a greater understanding of the complex and profound combination of forces driving business development.”

The Conference Board Review
“. . . Required reading for every manager in America.”

The Toronto Globe and Mail
“A promising blueprint for innovation.”

Excellent book but not updated

ByMichael Lercelon January 21, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Very good insight on how to view the innovation process. However this is marketed as a new edition, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. Examples do not reflect changes in industry since the original was written.

So if you read the original edition, not worth investing in this update. But if you did not read the original then this is definitely worth reading. All of those reviews are still relevant.

Good information, but a little outdated

ByAmazon Customeron September 28, 2016

Good information, but a little outdated. This is the same as the 2003 edition of the book, just with a new cover.

Excellent input for growth management and margin optimalization

ByJørgen Tvedton April 6, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The book repeats most everything from the "Dilemma" book and, unless readers want some interesting historical examples, there is no need to read the first.

The most suitable prerequisites and circumstances for hatching successful disruptive businesses are explained in detail. These are suggested as the main route to predictable growth for existing and new companies.

The book is quite repetitive and I suspect it to somewhat oversimplify complex issues, also using a scientific language while offering theories that aren't really proven. However the ideas presented and the clearly structured content convincingly offer the reader insights into margin fluctuations in the value network and the logic of growth.

You quickly get used to the author calling him selves "we", like if the book was actually a scientific publication.

Highly recommended, also if you have already read the "Dilemma" book.

Wow....

ByP.N.Ramondton December 8, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

wow, what a great book. I've read a lot about innovation lately, but this one stands shoulders above the rest. The methodological approach, validation and general scientific approach impresses. If you're into innovation: a must have.

Very insightful!

ByDenis Ambatenneon August 26, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Great description of a theory that is always there, but have never been conceived consciously. Surely will reread it several times, because, though the book is easy to read, the theory is so solid, that it will take some time to grasp all the nuances!
