Christensen: Google's Innovation Dilemma
+ Brandon Fuller
Clay Christensen suggests that Google can escape the innovator’s dilemma through the use of internal startups or, in his language, independent and geographically separate business units.
In addition to Google, Andrew Keen of TechCrunch asks Christensen to explain the innovator’s dilemma, comment on Apple, and describe the scope for disruptive innovation in education and healthcare.
Christensen argues that you need a model to understand the dynamics of innovation, it’s difficult to draw lessons from snapshots of successful firms at a given point in time.
