☆《華爾街日報》、英國《金融時報》、《財星》、《富比士》、《公司雜誌》專文報導推薦 ** ** 當代最有影響力的創新大師克里斯汀生最新著作 揭開破壞性創新未解決的關鍵：商機在哪裡？該如何創新？ ** ** **顧客想要的不是你的產品或服務，**而是解決他問題的方案 學會問對問題，改變思考視角，找出顧客真正購買的原因 31****個給領導者的思考題，全方位審視創新關鍵 ** **   你的公司也這樣嗎？關心銷售狀況、哪些人會購買商品、對商品是否滿意，卻對顧客為何會選擇你產品的原因，而不是競爭對手的不太清楚。 為什麼不斷增加差異化新功能，銷售卻沒有同步成長？   錯誤的問題，永遠引導不到正確的方向。 一旦市場情勢改變，非常可能一夕瓦解過去成功的企業。   創新不只需要了解顧客的需求，更要了解：顧客選擇這個產品做什麼？也就是要了解顧客使用產品的用途，在什麼情境下使用，遠勝過拚命改善產品的功能、特色。   克里斯汀生是全球最受推崇的創新大師，他的破壞性創新理論是《經濟學人》評為有史以來最重要的六大管理著作之一，尤其當今無一產業不面臨被科技顛覆的威脅。   破壞性創新理論解析對競爭的回應，預測將被顛覆企業的行為，但並沒有指引企業該往何處創新或如何創新，才能顛覆市場的領導者或開創新市場，但「用途理論」可以做到這些。   經過20年的持續研究，克里斯汀生補上了破壞性創新理論最關鍵的缺口，提出「創新的用途理論」，轉換思考邏輯，以「用途」視角，找出顧客消費的「起因」，重新架構創新，並且深入解析什麼是用途？用途與需求有什麼不同？如何理解用途的社會面與情感面？   因此Netflix不是與亞馬遜競爭，而是跟你放鬆時做的每件事競爭（如打電玩） Facebook和抽菸某些時刻是在同樣的用途上競爭 BMW不只與傳統高級車款競爭，也跟Uber競爭   當你轉換視角...
