Why you should read Seeing What's Next

Clayton M. Christensen’s first book, The Innovator’s Dilemma, was a work of impressive insight and originality. His second, The Innovator’s Solution, was somewhat less insightful but added a necessary extension to the first by telling readers how they might begin to extricate themselves from the dilemma of industry disruption caused by an upstart innovation. The current book is a dense, harder to read compilation of the first two books, with added theoretical insights. Christensen and co-authors Scott D. Anthony and Erik A. Roth tell readers how to use theories of innovation to predict change. getAbstract.com applauds the effort. Don’t miss the helpful appendix that summarizes the previous two books.
