The Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book that Will Change the Way You Do Business (Collins Business...
In this revolutionary bestseller, Harvard professor Clayton M. Christensen says outstanding companies can do everything right and still lose their market leadership, or worse, disappear completely. And he not only proves what he says, he tells others how to avoid a similar fate. Focusing on "disruptive technology" of the Honda Supercub, Intel's 8088 processor, and the hydraulic excavator, Christensen shows why most companies miss "the next great wave." Whether in electronics or retailing, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know when to abandon traditional business practices. 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.

- every product manager must read this
OK, I admit, some of it can be a bit boring, especially the first couple of chapters. But the premise and his argument are great. A product manager who has not read this book is not a product manager at all!
