This is one of the volumes in a series published by McGraw-Hill Education and co-authored by Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove. They wrote it in response to that question.I really like the basic concept: Crainer and Dearlove selected a major business subject such as innovation and then asked, "Which cutting edge thinkers should we consult to share their thoughts about this?" They had already read their books and articles and even interviewed several of them. A generous selection of the most valuable material they obtained is provided in this volume. The first chapter is called, appropriately, "How We Got Here." That is, how perspectives on innovation have evolved over time.* * *Here is one of the Q&As from an interview of Clay Christensen:C&D: What exactly is disruptive innovation?CC: Disruptive innovation has a very specific meaning. It is not a breakthrough innovation that makes good products a lot better. It has a very specific definition, and that is that it transforms a product that historically was so expensive and complicated that only a few people with a lot of money and a lot of skill had access to it. A disruptive innovation makes the product so much more affordable and acceptable that a much larger population has access to it.And so it creates new markets. But the technology leaders who made the complicated, expensive stuff find it very hard to move in the direction of the affordable and simple because that is so incompatible with their business model. And so it's almost a paradox within itself.
