Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth

About this book

An innovation classic. From Steve Jobs to Jeff Bezos, Clay Christensen’s work continues to underpin today’s most innovative leaders and organizations. A seminal work on disruption—for everyone confronting the growth paradox.For readers of the bestselling The Innovator’s Dilemma —and beyond—this definitive work will help anyone trying to transform their business right now.In The Innovator’s Solution, Clayton Christensen and Michael Raynor expand on the idea of disruption, explaining how companies can and should become disruptors themselves. This classic work shows just how timely and relevant these ideas continue to be in today’s hyper-accelerated business environment. Christensen and Raynor give advice on the business decisions crucial to achieving truly disruptive growth and propose guidelines for developing your own disruptive growth engine. The authors identify the forces that cause managers to make bad decisions as they package and shape new ideas—and offer new frameworks to help create the right conditions, at the right time, for a disruption to succeed. This is a must-read for all senior managers and business leaders responsible for innovation and growth, as well as members of their teams.Based on in-depth research and theories tested in hundreds of companies across many industries, The Innovator’s Solution is a necessary addition to any innovation library—and an essential read for entrepreneurs and business builders worldwide.

Business
Financial 
markets 
relentlessly 
pressure 
executives 
to 
grow 
and
keep 
growing 
faster 
and 
faster. 
Is 
it 
possible 
to 
succeed 
with 
this
mandate? 
Don’t 
the 
innovations 
that 
can 
satisfy 
investors’ 
de-
mands 
for 
growth 
require 
taking 
risks 
that 
are 
unacceptable 
to
those 
same 
investors? 
Is 
there 
a 
way 
out 
of 
this 
dilemma?
This 
is 
a 
book 
about 
how 
to 
create 
new 
growth 
in 
business. 
Growth
is 
important 
because 
companies 
create 
shareholder 
value 
through
profitable 
growth. 
Yet 
there 
is 
powerful 
evidence 
that 
once 
a 
com-
pany’s 
core 
business 
has 
matured, 
the 
pursuit 
of 
new 
platforms 
for
growth 
entails 
daunting 
risk. 
Roughly 
one 
company 
in 
ten 
is 
able 
to
sustain 
the 
kind 
of 
growth 
that 
translates 
into 
an 
above-average 
in-
crease 
in 
shareholder 
returns 
over 
more 
than 
a 
few 
years.

Too 
often
the 
very 
attempt 
to 
grow 
causes 
the 
entire 
corporation 
to 
crash. 
Con-
sequently, 
most 
executives 
are 
in 
a 
no-win 
situation: 
equity 
markets
demand 
that 
they 
grow, 
but 
it’s 
hard 
to 
know 
how
to 
grow. 
Pursuing
growth 
the 
wrong 
way 
can 
be 
worse 
than 
no 
growth 
at 
all.
Consider 
AT&T. 
In 
the 
wake 
of 
the 
government-mandated 
divesti-
ture
of 
its 
local 
telephony 
services 
in 
1984, 
AT&T 
became 
primarily
a 
long 
distance 
telecommunications 
services 
provider.
