While I think this is true for the most part, I think Christensen is looking at a larger phenomenon through the keyhole of innovation.

There is a Champion-Challenger dynamic at play. The current Champion has the winning formula for the current market. To remain the Champion, they need to derive the winning formula for the future market. There are usually very few Champions and they are usually large and powerful in their domains.

Meanwhile, there is a much larger number of Challengers who are pursuing a variety of strategies. Where the Champions are uniform in their fitness to the current market, Challengers are diverse. As the environment shifts, pure dumb luck can make a Challenger into a Champion.

Sticking with Christensen’s obsession with the chip market, consider Intel and Nvidia. Nvidia was a bit player (pun intended) until first bitcoin mining and now generative AI have sent demand for their chips to the stratosphere.

It wasn’t brilliant innovation on Nvidia’s part or a failure to innovate on Intel’s part, but a change in the customer needs that is driving the differential performance.

While I am a professor innovator (it’s how I pay the rent), I often see the market forces more in terms of biology — natural selection and evolutionary forces, specifically the slow Lamarckian adaptation of existing firms and the periodic (often seemingly spontaneous) growth of nascent firms.

I then see the executives issue as less of an Innovators Dilemma and more of a Diversification Dilemma. Business leaders should invest their profits in competitors and competing technologies.
