传记与作者历程
Clayton M. Christensen was an American business scholar and author whose work changed how executives, entrepreneurs, and policymakers think about change. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1952, he grew up in a family and faith tradition that emphasized discipline, service, and education. He studied economics at Brigham Young University, served as a missionary in South Korea for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, then continued his education as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford before earning an MBA from Harvard. His early career moved across consulting, government service, and entrepreneurship, including time at Boston Consulting Group, work in Washington, and leadership at a technology manufacturing company he helped build. Those experiences gave him a rare vantage point: he had seen strategy from the boardroom, the bureaucracy, and the startup, and he eventually returned to Harvard to complete a doctorate and join the faculty of Harvard Business School.
