Be the Disruptor
Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen’s theory of disruptive innovation provides a framework to understand how businesses grow, become successful, and falter as nimble start-ups muscle in on their customers. It’s a familiar story, one that has played out in the steel and auto industries, among others. Now Christensen, in collaboration with 2012 Nieman Fellow David Skok, has applied his analysis to the news industry. Their goal in this issue's cover story, “Breaking News,” is to encourage news executives to apply the lessons of disruption to the media industry as a means of charting new paths to survival and success.
"Breaking News" by Clayton M. Christensen, David Skok, and James Allworth, which applies the lessons of disruptive innovation to the media industry, is available in EPUB and MOBI formats for easier reading on Kindle, iBooks and other e-readers. You can also download a PDF of the cover story as it appears in the print edition.
