I really wonder about his criticism of The Innovator’s Dilemma. I'll certainly admit it applies to only a subset of startups, and it probably introduced the now totally ludicrous disruption meme, but the lesson with examples of companies that used inferior but cheaper technology to find and/or create whole new markets is certainly useful, and using your "disruptive" technology to eventually eat the lunch of the incumbents gives you something to eventually shoot for. All of which I think we seldom see in people who propose to "disrupt" something.
The lessons about how incumbents are constitutionally unable to complete against this also, if sufficiently true, ought to help tamp down some the rampant paranoia I've seen so much of in startups.
