Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Clayton Christensen was born in Salt Lake City in 1952 and emerged from a background that combined academic ambition, religious commitment, and practical discipline. He studied economics at Brigham Young University, spent formative time as a missionary in South Korea, and then went to the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, where he studied applied econometrics. He later earned both an MBA and a DBA from Harvard Business School. Those experiences gave him an unusual blend of quantitative training, moral seriousness, and cross-cultural perspective that would shape both his scholarship and his public voice.
