Clayton M. Christensen - Harvard Business Professor and Disruptive Innovation Expert

Clayton M. Christensen was a Harvard Business School professor known for his concept of "disruptive innovation," which describes how smaller companies with fewer resources can successfully challenge established businesses. His idea suggests that these newcomers often start by targeting overlooked segments of the market with simpler, more affordable products. Over time, they improve their offerings and can disrupt larger companies that fail to adapt to changing consumer needs. Christensen authored influential books, notably "The Innovator's Dilemma," which have shaped how businesses think about innovation and competition. His work continues to influence entrepreneurs and leaders worldwide.
