The Innovator's Solution

"The Innovator's Solution" Clayton Christensen 2003
This is the third Christensen book that I have read. The other two were "The Innovator's Dilemma" and "Disrupting Class", both reviewed in other posts here.
In all the books, Christensen is focusing on new approaches that destroy large existing companies routinely. He is trying to teach the companies how to avoid being destroyed.
From my point of view in trying to get small companies to be successful, Christensen is telling me how large organizations interact with small ones and what avenues to pursue, as a small organizationo, in order to be successful.
I like this book the best of the three because it explains the organzational dynamics that accounted for event such as the collapse of Pandesic and RCA as well as the movement of VC firms upmarket creating a dearth of new companies for the VC firms to invest in.
