Good information, but a little outdated.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

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, 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.

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!

Ok but dated. Simple concept that, in my view, could be communicated more concisely.

A great and still fresh work about innovation and a roadmap for those who intend to implement an innovation program at their organizations

I don't like many business/management books. Many seem short on insightful data analysis, and long on personality worship and the solution currently in fashion. Christensen's book has loads of analytical support for his conclusions, and from those analyses he has produced an actionable framework for the development and execution of business strategy. Along with the prior book, The Innovator's Dilemma, this is one of the best business books I've read.
