So much to read, so little time? Get a brief overview of The Innovator's Dilemma—the bestselling business book about disruption and how companies adapt.

Named one of the most important business books ever written by the Economist and the winner of the Global Business Book Award, The Innovator's Dilemma uses true stories of the successes and failures of prominent companies to analyze why great firms fail when faced with critical market and technological innovation.

In this summary of Clayton Christensen's book for entrepreneurs, managers, CEOs, and business leaders, you'll learn:

- Why sometimes "doing the right thing" can be the wrong thing, especially when faced with disruptive technology - Why most companies, even good ones, struggle to adapt their business practices - What executives can do to ensure both the short-term health and long-term survival of their organizations

With historical context, chapter-by-chapter overviews, important quotes, definitions of key terms, and other features, this summary and analysis of The Innovator's Dilemma is intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
