Description
Geoffrey A. Moore's Crossing the Chasm focuses on marketing and commercializing disruptive technology products within the Technology Adoption Life Cycle. The book identifies a critical gap between early adopters, who embrace innovation readily, and the early majority, who require proven solutions and lower risk. Moore outlines tactics to bridge this divide, advising companies to secure a dominant position in a specific niche market before expanding broadly. This text is designed for entrepreneurs, product managers, and marketers working to transition emerging technologies into mainstream commercial success.
