La pobreza global es uno de los problemas más grandes del mundo. Desde la educación hasta la atención médica, la infraestructura para erradicar la corrupción, se han ofrecido demasiadas soluciones, pero que se basan en ensayo y error. Esencialmente, el plan a menudo es identificar áreas que necesitan ayuda, inundarlas de recursos y esperar ver cambios a lo largo del tiempo. Pero la esperanza no es una estrategia efectiva. ¿Cómo es posible que naciones que reciben millones de dólares en ayuda sigan siendo pobres? Christensen sugiere una mejor manera. El tipo correcto de innovación no solo construye empresas, sino que también construye países. La Paradoja de la Prosperidad identifica los límites de los modelos comunes de desarrollo económico, que tienden a ser esfuerzos de arriba hacia abajo, y ofrece un nuevo marco para el crecimiento económico basado en el espíritu empresarial y la innovación de creación de mercado, para analizar países como Japón, Corea del Sur, Nigeria, Ruanda, India, Argentina... y México.

A new classic, recommended by leaders and media around the world In this bestselling book, authors Jeff Dyer (Innovation Capital and The Innovator''s Method), Hal Gregersen (Questions Are the Answer), and Clayton M. Christensen (The Innovator''s Dilemma, The Innovator''s Solution, and How Will You Measure Your Life?) build on what we know about disruptive innovation to show how individuals can develop the skills necessary to move progressively from idea to impact. By identifying the winning behaviors of the world''s best innovators--from leaders at Amazon and Apple to those at Google, Tesla, and Salesforce--Dyer, Gregersen, and Christensen outline five discovery skills that distinguish innovative entrepreneurs and executives from ordinary managers: associating, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. Through real-world stories, the authors show you how to evaluate and develop your own innovator''s "DNA code," including advice for how you can use the five skills to generate ideas, collaborate with colleagues to implement them, and sharpen your organization''s competitive edge by building innovation skills into its culture. This innovation advantage will translate into a premium in your company''s stock price--an innovation premium--which is possible only by building the code for innovation right into your organization''s people, processes, and guiding philosophies. This book shows you how. Now updated with a new preface and fresh examples, The Innovator''s DNA is more than ever the essential resource for individuals, managers, and teams who want to strengthen their innovative prowess.

New York Times–bestselling Author: “Powerful . . . a compelling case for the game-changing role of innovation in some of the world’s most desperate economies.” —Eric Schmidt, former Executive Chairman, Google and Alphabet Clayton M. Christensen, author of such business classics as The Innovator’s Dilemma and How Will You Measure Your Life, and co-authors Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon reveal why so many investments in economic development fail to generate sustainable prosperity, and offer a groundbreaking solution for true and lasting change. Global poverty is one of the world’s most vexing problems. For decades, we’ve assumed smart, well-intentioned people will eventually be able to change the economic trajectory of poor countries. From education to healthcare, building infrastructure to eradicating corruption, too many solutions rely on trial and error. Essentially, the plan is often to identify areas that need help, flood them with resources, and hope to see change over time. But hope is not an effective strategy. At least twenty countries that have received billions of dollars’ worth of aid are poorer now. Applying the rigorous and theory-driven analysis he is known for, Christensen suggests a better way. The right kind of innovation not only builds companies—but also builds countries. The Prosperity Paradox identifies the limits of common economic development models, which tend to be top-down efforts, and offers a new framework for economic growth based on entrepreneurship and market-creating innovation. Christensen, Ojomo, and Dillon use successful examples from America’s own economic development, including Ford, Eastman Kodak, and Singer Sewing Machines, and shows how similar models have worked in other regions such as Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, Argentina, and Mexico. The ideas in this book will help companies desperate for real, long-term growth see actual, sustainable progress where they’ve failed before. But The Prosperity Paradox is more than a business book—it is a call to action for anyone who wants a fresh take for making the world a better and more prosperous place.

The foremost authority on innovation and growth presents a path-breaking book every company needs to transform innovation from a game of chance to one in which they develop products and services customers not only want to buy, but are willing to pay premium prices for. How do companies know how to grow? How can they create products that they are sure customers want to buy? Can innovation be more than a game of hit and miss? Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen has the answer. A generation ago, Christensen revolutionized business with his groundbreaking theory of disruptive innovation. Now, he goes further, offering powerful new insights. After years of research, Christensen has come to one critical conclusion: our long held maxim—that understanding the customer is the crux of innovation—is wrong. Customers don’t buy products or services; they "hire" them to do a job. Understanding customers does not drive innovation success, he argues. Understanding customer jobs does. The "Jobs to Be Done" approach can be seen in some of the world’s most respected companies and fast-growing startups, including Amazon, Intuit, Uber, Airbnb, and Chobani yogurt, to name just a few. But this book is not about celebrating these successes—it’s about predicting new ones. Christensen contends that by understanding what causes customers to "hire" a product or service, any business can improve its innovation track record, creating products that customers not only want to hire, but that they’ll pay premium prices to bring into their lives. Jobs theory offers new hope for growth to companies frustrated by their hit and miss efforts. This book carefully lays down Christensen’s provocative framework, providing a comprehensive explanation of the theory and why it is predictive, how to use it in the real world—and, most importantly, how not to squander the insights it provides.

This paper proposes a model of the factors that affect a company''s ability to capture the returns from its investments in research. The nature of the technology and the organizational configuration of the firm together determine how a company can capture value from its research. Under conditions of technological modularity, technologies developed in one company''s research laboratories might "leak" into the open market. Under conditions of technological integrality, firms that conduct research can capture better the returns from their investments in creating new technology. The key is to align organizational structure with the character of technology. Under modular conditions, centralized structures impose inappropriate overheads; firms need to organize themselves in a decentralization fashion to capture value here. Under integral conditions, however, decentralization cannot coordinate complex interdependencies, and centralized structures are necessary to realize value.
