“The reason why it is so difficult for existing firms to capitalise on disruptive
innovations is that their processes and their business models that make them
good at the existing business actually make them bad at competing for the
disruption.”
Prof. Clayton M. Christensen, Harvard Business School &
Author of best-selling book ‘The Innovator’s Dilemma’
