Product Description

Product Description

“Just as kids await the next Harry Potter installment, so do business leaders look for Clayton M. Christensen's next offering.”-Inc. Magazine

The business book of the year-a long-awaited lesson in innovation from the legendary Harvard Business School professor…

With his blockbuster bestseller The Innovator's Dilemma, Clayton M. Christensen created the classic model for growth and change in corporations and cultures. Now, taking a cue from Bill Gates' 2005 critique of the American school system, he applies his theory of “disruptive innovation” to a much-needed evolution in educational technologies-offering new opportunities and challenges for the business community. Christensen brilliantly shows how tomorrow's innovations in education will change the way the world learns-and what businesses can do to meet those changing demands today.

Clayton M. Christensen's books are:

“REQUIRED READING.”-BusinessWeek

“ABSORBING.”-The New York Times

“THOUGHTFUL.”-Fortune

“BRILLIANT.”-Michael R. Bloomberg



From the Inside Flap

"A brilliant teacher, Christensen brings clarity to the a muddled and chaotic world of education." Jim Collins, author of Good to Great

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating look at disruptive innovation in education, 19 May 2009
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The very real value of this useful and, at times, pleasantly surprising book comes from the way the authors apply their expertise in innovation to the field of education. By approaching public education's crisis with new eyes - and conceptualizing education as a product or service like any other - Clayton M. Christensen (The Innovator's Dilemma), Michael B. Horn and Curtis W. Johnson provide insights that escape the tired loops of argument that often define discussions about public education. These writers' obvious willingness to look in new directions for learning innovation is matched by their genuine concern for everyone involved in education. However, they do seem a bit idealistic, as they focus so strongly on the pedagogical and conceptual aspects of education that they seem to skim over other concerns, like logistics and budgets. The authors acknowledge the legal monopoly governing public education without really addressing the social weight and inertia of such a monopoly. In fact, they seem to believe that positive disruption is almost inevitable. getAbstract recommends this thoughtful book to anyone interested in social change and education, and - not tangentially - in how new technologies affect societies.
