Winning Through Innovation: A Practical Guide to Managing Organizational Change and Renewal

Why do organizations often stall in their development, and how can leaders help them adapt to change? The authors - Harvard Business School professor Michael Tushman and Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Charles O'Reilly - have studied this issue... for 30 years and share the results of their research. The book outlines the concept of ambidextrous organizations - companies that are capable of doing two contradictory things simultaneously. By successfully managing their existing business while experimenting with new activities, they can effectively compete in both mature and emerging markets. The authors provide examples from companies such as IBM, Novartis, Amazon, Fujifilm, and many others.
