"A separate organization is required when the mainstream organization’s values would render it incapable of focusing resources on the innovation project." When dealing with disruptive technological changes that do not fit within the existing processes and values of an organization, creating autonomous organizations is crucial. This allows the new initiative to develop without being hindered by the parent company's established processes. For example, IBM's PC Division and GM's Saturn Division succeeded because they operated independently, ensuring dedicated resources and focus. | Clayton Christensen | The Innovator's Dilemma
