This book offers a large number of case studies from the areas of research and technology development in various industries. It covers most the important concepts of technology management such as "core competencies". It follows the traditional model employed in business schools: learning from others' experiences by means of case studies. Particularly relevant are the sections on "heavyweight teams".

This textbook on strategic management is heavy reading but contains a lot of useful business cases for deep study and discussion. But if you are reading it on your own, the cases are also explained. Burgelman is the director of the Stanford Executive Program and Clay Christensen is a well known business thinker. Both are very influential and have created useful frameworks to guide business thinking.

The best book to get to understand and appreciate the CIO’s role for an enterprise purely from the seat of leading the management and the application of technology with both micro & macro economic perspectives.
