About this listen

Please Note: The audio has been updated for better sound quality.

This audiobook was created based on Clayton Christensen's landmark book The Innovator's Dilemma. This was Mr. Christensen's synopsis of his book for the Harvard Business Review. The audio tracks listed here cover the key elements of Mr. Christensen's book. This audiobook emphasizes the Idea in Brief "Does my organization have the right resources, processes, values, and team to innovate?" Then it covers the right structure for your specific type of innovation. He identifies where capabilities reside, in resources, processes, and values. He then addresses the migration of capabilities, illustrates it with the example of Digital Equipment (DEC), defines sustaining versus disruptive innovation, how to create capabilities to cope with change - internally, in a spinout, or an acquisition - and how to fit the tool to the task.

This is a great book but it should be recorded again. The sequel: "competing against luck" it's a much better experience to listen.

Can't relate to the original work by Clayton Christiansen and published with Harvard. Narration was ok but many concepts left behind.

Not at all close to the original book

I am a fan of the full book but this audio book even after listening to twice completely lost me.

I would prefer to have the full book with examples or case studies to make real.
