    Those are all great reading material, but as a professor of entrepreneurship my comment would be aware that yes, the innovation darling can change the market and be very successful (or a great failure, too). However, this is 1% or less of new ventures. The rest of new ventures need to understand the forces of which Porter speaks about!

    Learning strategic management and innovation on my final year at uni and OMG. They make Porter's work of 5 forces, generic strategies and generic groups look almost irrelevant.

    Read:

    *Strategy Safari (Mintzberg)

    *Innovator's Dilema (Christensen)

    *Schumpter's Creative Destruction theory

    *Dynamics of Strategy (Duncan Robertson) - also happens to be my teacher
