    Road Map to Improvements in US Health Care Deliveryby MikeyLisa

    Reader Rating:
    See Detailed Ratings

    08/29/2009: This is an excellent book that every legislator and chief executive must read and absorb. In a third of the pages it takes the US Congress to promote an ineffective and expensive plan that merely mimicks European-style single-payer health care, Christensen, Grossman and Hwang map out well-argued, well-documented, well-reasoned innovations to the health care system, its delivery mechanism, and its funding. Based in market-driven solutions, the concepts presented in this book free those who participate in this area of our economy (that is, ALL of us) to allow health care to be treated as an economic sector, and not merely a social service. A MUST READ for legislators, practitioners and patients.

    More insight from one of today's original business thinkersby Jazzlover

    05/09/2009: Most business books are actually HBR articles inflated by editors to 250-pages to meet an unwritten weight requirement. Dr. Christensen is one of the few thinkers who actually merit the book-length format and hold an experienced entrepreneur's attention throughout. This work is insightful and entertaining, while providing helpful tools and the continued expansion of the analytical framework Christensen has been developing over the past two decades. I am selective in terms of the business-oriented books I choose to finish and I wait for each addition to the Clay Christensen library. This book is well worth reading and owning, even if healthcare is not your target market.

    I Also Recommend: Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book That will Change the Way You Do Business, Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns, The Profit Zone: How Strategic Business Design Will Lead You to Tomorrow's Profits, Value Migration: How to Think Several Moves Above the Competition, The Innovator's Solution: Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth.
