I don&#x27;t think author of this article has ever actually read anything by Christensen -- it makes zero mention of what Clay Christensen is best know for; the Innovator&#x27;s Dilemma. And nowhere in this does the article actually state what his alleged thesis is, and what about it isn&#x27;t being born out. It just points out a couple of cases of innovation and then waves some hands and claims Christensen is wrong a lot.<p>The Innovator&#x27;s Dilemma is his big idea, and it&#x27;s still as much a part of the innovation lexicon as it was in 1997. The accuracy of his prognostications re:specific companies is pretty irrelevant.<p>For some reason the article&#x27;s author is fixated on the idea that Christensen&#x27;s thesis has something to do with small companies; it does not. The Innovator&#x27;s Dilemma deals with companies established in their industry being unable to innovate because it will disrupt their own business. Google entering the car market is a <i>perfect</i> example of this (because Google is NOT a carmaker), not a counterexample. General Motors is unable to create driverless cars because it&#x27;s antithetical to their current business -- THAT&#x27;S the innovator&#x27;s dilemma.
