Praise for The Innovator's Solution:
The Financial Times
“Fresh thinking aplenty . . . nothing less than a handbook for managers who would rather disrupt than be disrupted."
Fast Company
“Every dilemma demands a solution. And this book lives up to its promise: More than an engrossing read, shot through with Christensen's rigorous thinking and trademark clarity, it's a valuable tool for every aspiring upstartwhether you're inside a billion-dollar company or have a billion-dollar glimmer in your eye."
The New York Times
“If [Christensen's] first book left business with the quandary of how a middle-aged company can be as creative as the new kid on the block, [this] book is an instructive tutorial on how to rekindle the spark of youth and nurture the fragile flame."
