The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton Christensen

In this episode of Books Deep Dive, we dive deep into the concept of disruptive innovation, as explained in Clayton Christensen’s groundbreaking book, The Innovator’s Dilemma. We explore how new entrants with low-cost, lower-quality products can completely transform industries—using Sony's rise in the 1950s and the modern example of Dollar Shave Club as case studies. We also examine how established companies like Kodak and Gillette get stuck in the “dilemma” of failing to adapt to disruptive forces, and why companies must embrace new ideas or risk obsolescence. Tune in for a fascinating look at how disruptive innovation is reshaping business and how leaders can avoid getting left behind.
