Clayton Christensen (Harvard Professor)

Clayton Christensen was a Harvard Business School professor best known for his theory of "disruptive innovation." This concept explains how smaller companies with fewer resources can successfully challenge established businesses by offering simpler, more affordable products. Christensen's ideas have influenced fields beyond business, including education, healthcare, and technology, helping organizations understand how innovative changes can reshape markets. His best-selling book, "The Innovator's Dilemma," explores why successful companies often fail to adapt to new technologies and market shifts, providing valuable insights into competition and growth. Christensen's work has had a lasting impact on how businesses think about innovation and strategy.
