How to Solve the Innovator’s Dilemma, Second Edition
Stanford UP, 2021
What's inside?
Large, incumbent firms that wish to remain relevant must maintain current revenue streams while simultaneously pursuing new ventures.
Recommendation
This new edition of Charles O’Reilly and Michael Tushman’s 2016 original, offers expanded, fresh insights into how to build an “ambidextrous” organization: one that continues to extract profits from existing lines of business while simultaneously developing new ventures that eventually displace the old. The authors use cautionary lessons from Blockbuster, Sears and Kodak to demonstrate how fraught this balancing act can be. However, their description of firms that get it right, including Amazon and IBM, offers your business a road map to survive and thrive in turbulent times.
