Great companies can fail-not because they do anything wrong, but because they do everything right. Meeting customers' current needs leads firms to reject breakthrough innovations-"disruptive technologies" that create the products and opportunities of the future.Radical thinking . . . and a wake-up call. Citing examples from many industries (computers, retailing, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, steel), Clayton M. Christensen explains how to avoid a similar fate. He presents strategies for determining when not to listen to customers, when to pursue small markets at the expense of larger ones, and other ways to ensure long-term growth and profit. This award-winning book shows managers the changes that may be coming-and how to respond for success.

      When new technologies become available, how do established companies take advantage of these innovations without disrupting existing relationships with customers and stockholders? The managerial formula that solves this dilemma is far from simple, but this abridgment of the author's 1997 book will be easily understood by anyone interested in technological revolutions. The clarity of these broad-brush ideas is just plain fascinating. The reader's gravity and dramatic precision will be distracting for many people, but only for the first few minutes. After that, the big ideas in this program take over and captivate the listener's attention. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
