CHARLES A. O’REILLY III AND MICHAEL L. TUSHMAN “LEAD AND DISRUPT: HOW TO SOLVE THE INNOVATOR’S DILEMMA 2ND EDITION”
Manuela Bukovec
Abstract
The book Lead and Disrupt: How to Solve the Innovator’s Dilemma is the second edition by academic Charles A. O’Reilly III and Michael L. Tushman. Charles A. In the second edition, the authors enrich the findings and analysis of their research on ambidexterity from the first edition by bringing stories about the abilities of managers to simultaneously lead companies and manage change. The aim and purpose of this edition is to make managers aware and to warn them that changes are important and necessary because the business world is undergoing both, evolution and revolution at the same time. The book is divided into three parts, and two new chapters have been added to the second edition, which investigate and provide a critical review of the role of organizational culture in promoting or preventing ambidexterity. The authors also offer two different approaches to reading the book. The first approach is a conventional linear approach, while the second approach involves focusing on the main chapters that provide the context of what motivated the authors for the second edition. The book is written simply and comprehensibly, it is based on numerous examples of world-famous companies and therefore represents a kind of manual for managers that they should have in their permanent possession.
