Finally managed to find this on DVD. It is just as cool and classy as I remembered — and with a very young Dominique Pinon (City of Lost Children, A Very Long Engagement) as the shiv wielding, crop-headed thug.
Book The Innovator's Dilemma
Actually somewhat mis-titled - the sort of innovations at the heart of the dilemma are those that serve emerging market segments first, and only later serve the pre-existing market segments well, rather than innovations that meet existing market needs.
This is coupled with the fact that it is easier to improve products at a rate faster than markets can absorb; and that there is only a limited amount of space for "top carnivores" in any ecosystem. In many respects it is the classic (if not borne out by more recent palaeontological data) “mammals pwn3d the dinosaurs” type of scenario.

First of I would like to mention that I really respect your opinions and I would be more than happy if you could explain more how the book was mis-titled
thank you in advance....
I put a more extended review up later. The mis-titling refers to the fact that there are two sorts of innovation (the evolutionary, non-disruptive; and the revolutionary and disruptive), and the dilemma concerns the second type. The former is the sort of safe incremental, shave a percentage point off here or there sort of innovation; the latter is the "bet the company", may work, may not sort of change, and it's that sort which provides the dilemma.
