Lots of platitudes and bull…
It's probably not worth the paper it is written on. It tries to explain why new business models are needed (and fails miserably, especially if you have read any book by Christensen), and tries to explain the importance of concepts of Open Source, while a few pages ahead discusses the importance of getting as much IP as possible (patents, trademarks etc., which not always square well with OSS). He then manages to give some examples that seem to give no credence to his loosely defined theories whatsoever, and manages to make a real mess out of it in the end, where he fails (obviously) to make a new theory out of his ramblings.
This is the kind of book that makes more damage than anything else, as some ignorant fool could believe that some of the ramblings have value.
And yes, I know that Christensen is giving it a good review on the back cover, but I like Christensen's theories, I don't care what he does for money and what his morale is.
