In this text, the author outlines an expansion strategy based on putting together combinations of adjacency moves into areas away from, but related to, the core business, such as new product lines or new channels of distribution.

Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics

Harvard Business School, 1989

A magnificent work that is bound to have immense influence on the ways economists think about dynamic systems for many years to come. My own guess is that this book will eventually acquire the stature, say, of Hicks's Value and Capital or Samuelson's Foundations.
--Thomas J. Sargent, Hoover Institution

Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career

Harvard Business School, 2003

Whether as a daydream or a spoken desire, nearly all of us have entertained the notion of reinventing ourselves.

But we also hold on, white-knuckled, to the years of time and effort we’ve invested in our current...

Understanding the Infinite

Harvard Business School, 1994

In writing this book I have tried to keep mathematical prerequisites to a minimum. The reader who is essentially innocent of mathematical knowledge beyond that taught in high school should be able to read at least halfway through Chapter VIII plus parts of the rest of the book, though such a reader will need to skip the occasional formula. That is...

The Innovator's Solution: Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth

Harvard Business School, 2003

At best one company in ten is able to sustain profitable growth. Yet capital markets demand that all companies seek it relentlessly and mercilessly punish those who fail. Why is consistent, persistent growth so difficult to achieve? Surprisingly, it’s not for lack of great ideas or capable managers, nor is it because customers are too...

Geeks and Geezers

Harvard Business School, 2002

We were drawn to thinking and then ultimately writing about geeks and geezers from very different starting points. Coauthoring a book isn’t quite like synchronized swimming. It’s more like gaining perspective and depth through incongruity. Through writing and arguing in what seemed like endless and percussive...

Buy-In: Saving Your Good Idea from Getting Shot Down

Harvard Business School, 2010

You've got a good idea. You know it could make a crucial difference for you, your organization, your community. You present it to the group, but get confounding questions, inane comments, and verbal bullets in return. Before you know what's happened, your idea is dead, shot down. You're furious. Everyone has lost: Those who...
