Now with a new look, The Innovator\'s Solution proves just how timely and relevant these ideas continue to be in today\'s hyper-accelerated business environment. Christensen (author of the award-winning Harvard Business Review article, How Will You Measure Your Life?), and Raynor give usable advice on the business decisions crucial to achieving truly disruptive growth and propose guidelines for developing your own disruptive growth engine.
