The speaker ruins the content

The content is 4 stars. Actually this synopsis is more valuable to readers / listeners than the whole book. This is because Christensens tends to repeat himself and his ideas quite a lot. The synopsis is free of that. The main idea is clear and important, but not as revolutionary as announced. It is an old wisdom of innovation management that simple things (not to mix up with trivial things) catch the attention, whereas complex ones tend to get ignored because they are not understood. Still Christiansen does a valuable transfer of that idea into (mainstream) business which is worth to notice.

The speaker is zero stars. So in total I cannot give more than two stars. He has a very heavy American accent and swallows syllables and endings. He does not speak clearly. On top of that he sounds confused. It sounds as if he had never read the paper before recording the audio. You even might guess he is ill (or drunk) and has problems to concentrate on the text. What a pity.

Worst audio quality ever experienced

The contents of this book are rather aged at this time and their relevance is lower than it used to but still it's a good book. However the speaker is bad (sorry no way to say it) and the over all quality of the audio is even worse. Even at 50% off this audiobook is a disappointment

Leider schlecht umgesetzt

Würden Sie dieses Buch einem Freund empfehlen? Warum oder warum nicht?

Nein.

Würden Sie The Innovator's Dilemma Ihren Freunden empfehlen? Warum oder warum nicht?

Nein. Es werden Stellenweise Tabellen vorgelesen. Es ist schwer hier zu folgen. Der Sprecher ist nicht gut. Teilweise macht er lange Pause, wo er scheinbar überlegt, wie es weiter geht. Die Tonqualität ist schlecht,

Wie hätte das Hörbuch besser vorgetragen werden können?

Ja.

Könnten Sie sich The Innovator's Dilemma als Film oder TV-Serie vorstellen? Welche Stars sollten unbedingt mitspielen?

Nein.

Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

Finger weg. Es ist so lieblos umgesetzt, dass man sich nur schwer auf den Inhalt konzentrieren kann. Tabellen werden stupide vorgelesen.

Not worth it

This audio book is only the synopsis Christensen published of his full book for Harvard Business Review, and as such can be accessed in writing for free.
This synopsis does not lend itself well to the audio format as there are references to graphics not available to the listener.
The speaker seems very inexperienced. He has a heavy slur and often pauses because he seems to either lose the line or doesn’t know how to pronounce a word, making it extremely difficult to follow.

Narration is slow, sounds slightly absent-minded

Narration is slow and sounds slightly absent-minded. Starts literally reading out table, with no emphasis and little context going beforehand.
