29. Clayton M. Christensen
- Harvard Business School
The reason is that good management itself
was the root cause. Managers played the
game the way it was supposed to be played.
The very decision-making and resource-
allocation processes that are key to the
success of established companies are the
very processes that reject disruptive
technologies.
