How Hard Times Can Drive Innovation†

Wall Street Journal, December 15, 2008 — Sure, the economy's bad. But it's a good time to innovate, according to Clayton M. Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor who focuses on innovation.

He is the author or co-author of a number of books on the subject, from "The Innovator's Dilemma" to a book due out next month on health care, "The Innovator's Prescription."

Dr. Christensen spoke with MIT Sloan Management Review senior editor Martha E. Mangelsdorf for Business Insight.
