Clayton M. Christensen Knihy

Globálna chudoba patrí medzi najpálčivejšie problémy sveta. Dlhé roky sme sa spoliehali na inteligentných ľudí s dobrými úmyslami, ktorí mali zmeniť ekonomickú trajektóriu chudobných krajín. Riešenia sa často zakladajú na pokusoch a omyloch, pričom sa predpokladá, že identifikovanie oblastí potrebujúcich pomoc a ich zaplavenie zdrojmi prinesie zmenu. Avšak nádej nie je účinná stratégia. Clayton M. Christensen a jeho spoluautori odhaľujú paradox v našich prístupoch k chudobe; hoci sú naše úsilie ušľachtilé, výsledky sú nekonzistentné a v niektorých prípadoch problémy ešte zhoršili. Mnohé krajiny, ktoré dostali miliardovú pomoc, sú dnes chudobnejšie. Christensen navrhuje nový prístup k riešeniu globálnej chudoby založený na inováciách, ktoré môžu vybudovať celé krajiny. Kniha identifikuje limity tradičných modelov ekonomického rozvoja a ponúka nový rámec pre rast, zameraný na podnikanie a inováciu. Autori uvádzajú úspešné príklady z ekonomického rozvoja v USA a iných krajinách, ako Japonsko, Južná Kórea či Nigéria. Tieto myšlienky môžu pomôcť spoločnostiam a krajinám, ktoré túžia po skutočnom a dlhodobom raste. Kniha je výzvou na akciu pre každého, kto chce prispieť k lepšiemu a prosperujúcemu svetu.

The foremost authority on innovation and growth presents a path-breaking book every company needs to transform innovation from a game of chance to one in which they develop products and services customers not only want to buy, but are willing to pay premium prices for.

And not only does he prove what he says, but he tells others how to avoid a similar fate.

Using the lessons of successes and failures from leading companies, The Innovator’s Dilemma presents a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation. Find out: When it is right not to listen to customers. When to invest in developing lower-performance products that promise lower margins. When to pursue small markets at the expense of seemingly larger and more lucrative ones. Sharp, cogent, and provocative, The Innovator’s Dilemma is one of the most talked-about books of our time—and one no savvy manager or entrepreneur should be without.

The foremost authority on innovation and growth presents a transformative guide for companies to shift from chance-driven innovation to creating products and services that customers are eager to buy at premium prices. How can businesses ensure growth and develop desirable products? Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen, known for his theory of disruptive innovation, provides answers through years of research. He challenges the long-held belief that understanding customers is key to innovation, asserting instead that customers "hire" products to fulfill specific jobs. Success in innovation stems from comprehending these customer jobs rather than merely understanding the customers themselves. This "Jobs to Be Done" approach is exemplified by leading companies and startups like Amazon, Intuit, Uber, Airbnb, and Chobani yogurt. However, the focus of this work is not on celebrating these successes but on predicting future ones. By grasping what drives customers to "hire" a product or service, businesses can enhance their innovation outcomes, crafting offerings that customers are willing to pay a premium for. This book outlines Christensen’s framework, detailing the theory's predictive nature, its real-world applications, and how to effectively leverage the insights it provides for sustainable growth.

And he not only proves what he says, he tells others how to avoid a similar fate.Focusing on "disruptive technology" -- the Honda Super Cub, Intel's 8088 processor, or the hydraulic excavator, for example -- Christensen shows why most companies miss "the next great wave."

"In his worldwide bestseller The Innovator's Dilemma, Christensen explained how industry leaders get blindsided by disruptive innovations precisely because they focus too closely on their most profitable customers and businesses. The Innovator's Solution shows how companies get to the side of this dilemma, creating disruptions rather than being destroyed by them." "Drawing on years of in-depth research and illustrated by company examples across many industries, Christensen and Raynor argue that innovation can be a predictable process that delivers sustainable, profitable growth. They identify the forces that cause managers to make bad decisions as they package and shape new ideas - and offer new frameworks to help managers create the right conditions, at the right time, for a disruption to succeed." "Revealing counterintuitive insights that will change your perspective on innovation forever, this landmark book shows how to create a disruptive growth engine that fuels ongoing success."--Jacket.
