"The Innovator's Dilemma" Book Notes

• reads like a textbook
• too much info about disk drives
• disruptive technologies work like this: development-> companies -> markets -> users -> upmarket -> established firms defend their sustaining tech
• iPhone 2G=disruptive, iPhone 8=sustaining
• If a company’s resources, processes and values don’t match the market, no management can save it.
• Market leaders can solve the innovator’s dilemma by acquiring or founding subsidiaries.
• smaller companies shoot for smaller goals to achieve the same goals
