		For Christensen, the answer is revealed in what he calls “the innovator's dilemma”: the logical, competent decisions of management that are critical to the success of their companies are also the reasons why they lose their positions of leadership.
		Note in particular Christensen’s detailed analysis of a disruptive technological change in the mechanical excavator industry (Chapter Three) and the correlations between value networks and characteristic cost structures (Chapter Four).
		As Christensen suggests, “In sustaining technologies, in fact, evidence strongly suggests that companies which focus on extending the performance of conventional technologies, and choose to be followers in adopting new ones, can remain strong and competitive.”
