生年: April 06, 1952 – Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Clayton Christensen was a Harvard Business School professor and business theorist best known for developing the concept of disruptive innovation. He wrote influential books including The Innovator’s Dilemma, The Innovator’s Solution, and How Will You Measure Your Life? His work reshaped management thinking and entrepreneurship education worldwide.
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.
