Very outdated and poorly ages examples. No stringent system but rather a mix of best-of-management-school knowledge. While the authors most definitely know what they are talking about, they convey it in a sense that is not fun or intriguing to read

Like the "dilemma" book, I found this one a bit dry. Main takeaway was similar to the dilemma book: big businesses aren't naturally conducive to disruptive innovation, even when led by competent and smart people. The solution is to start a segment of that business within the larger organization that is completely removed from the larger organization's management. Also, middle managers typically kill innovation because they filter out risky projects due to the fact that they are usually the ones who take the fall for failed projects.

Excellent. Innovator's Dillema identified fundamental assymetrical forces at play in how businesses grow, whereas this book gives practical guidance in how to harness (or be harnessed by) these forces based on case studies of company successes and failures. This is on the level of Jim Collin's Good to Great for me.

This great, well researched book serves as the opposite of “Innovators Dilemma”- instead of teaching business leaders how to protect against disruption, it focuses on how to be disruptive. Also similar to that book, I think it’s most useful to people who’ve had at least 5-10 years of work experience because you’ll realize many of things that seem to be easily avoided truisms (“businesses can’t disrupt themselves”) are actually gravitational forces that are extremely difficult to escape (businesses will still try and fail spectacularly)

This is a great work that open our eyes to see our world clearer

It’s highly recommended to stock investors, regardless of active or passive. For readers who have finished Mr. Fishers’ book “Common Stock, Uncommon Profits”, and Chris Mayer’s book “100 Baggers”, no doubt we may have questions about how to spot or screen the potential candidates to research and study further. More importantly, things will change. That’s a cliche. Investors love their invested companies that have strong competitive moat, high profitability, keep reinvesting and growing. However, that also maps to what this book suggested, it feels good to grow financially. While all data is delayed by years, data point does not reflect the current competitive status. Although this book, along with Innovator’s Dilemmas, may not give us exactly what makes a great investment like Mr. Fishers’ layout in his book, it provides a clear and useful frameworks for investors to understand what makes quality disruption, and what to watch out. It’s a great gift from the authors, that we can have a life-saving toolkit in our toolbox during our journey.

deserves a re-read
practical as well as theoretical

Examples used sound outdated reflecting the time the book was written but nevertheless its messages stand the test of time to be considered a classic worth sequel to the innovator delima. Must read

to be continue.

Christensen recommends that companies look beyond their core capabilities and understand that customers go for products that make their lives easier. Disruptive innovations target low market niches and that senior leaders should be patient for profit and growth. Disruptive innovation must be a repeatable process to keep established companies building novel offerings before new entrants do.

Even though the innovators solution does layout a clear path toward implementing the type of disruption outlined in its predecessor, the insight feels hollow because I do not know how I would ever apply this to a real-world situation and expect much more than random success or failure.

Couple or interesting ideas from analysing some well known companies and how they innovated to build new disruptive businesses. However from stories of Intel, Intuit, IBM or Microsoft, i did not learn that much new stuff. Quite shallow analysis in my opinion and i had troubles to be pulled 100% into the reading. More of an recap for me…

Fantastic! A good read for sure!
