Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen has gained a reputation for his work on "Disruptive Innovations":

• His theory says that organizations customarily develop mind-sets and processes that revolve around doing what they already know.
• Once that pattern becomes established, managers have great difficulty justifying to others or even themselves the need to turn their processes upside down to respond to a barely emergent market change.
• By the time the threat is apparent, however, it's usually too late; upstart companies have seized a substantial lead.
