Clayton M. Christensen offers a unique perspective on innovation and customer behaviour. Instead of relying on luck or intuition, Christensen introduces the "jobs-to-be-done" theory, which focuses on understanding the fundamental reasons why customers 'hire' a product or service. This insightful book challenges traditional notions of innovation and provides a practical framework for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. As you would expect, lots of examples from different industries are provided to illustrate the core point.
