From its obscure origins in management theory, disruptive innovation has become one of the concepts used to describe how networked digital technologies and platforms transform industries and institutions. In this paper, I will examine how contested, and at times incommensurable, iterations of disruptive innovation share a similar idea of technology. Drawing upon discourses of disruptive innovation from management theory, institutional policies, and popular culture reveals a shared idea of technology whose characteristics include a reified idea of technology and a horizon of expectations in which fear of falling behind influences ideas about technological change.
ABSTRACTThe undergraduate business education landscape is dramatically changing and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Many of the changes are being driven by increasing costs, advances in technology, rapid globalization, and an increasingly diverse workforce and customer base, and are occurring simultaneously in both the business world and higher education. This is especially true for undergraduate business education in which alternative models to the traditional four‐year curriculum continue to emerge. Using Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation as a framework, we develop a set of recommendations to help undergraduate business education navigate the disruptions it faces by adopting a "pragmatic liberal" approach. This approach offers a direct contrast to the decades of limited success that business schools have had integrating liberal education and business education.
While competition is good for consumers and economies, competition rules alone cannot necessarily produce adequate outcomes for all circumstances. Other norms, particularly regulatory norms, are also often likely to be relevant. The current legal and policy debates about 'disruptive innovation' highlight the need for a healthy mixture of competition and regulation. This paper offers a series of reflections arising from the challenges posed by disruptive products, services and business models. These reflections cover matters such as the capacity of legal procedures to keep pace with rapidly changing market environments. Competition advocacy can help regulators decide controversial points. The paper discusses several sectors, such as the car-riding and overnight sleeping sectors, in which different interests must simultaneously be accommodated within the boundaries of national tradition and European Union law. As discussed, some of these matters have now been adjudicated by the EU Courts. The related subjects of the acquisition of data as well as the requirements of privacy and data protection principles are also considered. The paper reflects on the role of network effects and on the difficult choices to be made with regard to the wisdom of relying on competition law or on the nature of innovation itself to deliver appropriate responses to the growth of network-based economic power; and the paper notes but does not suggest a remedy for the problem of delay as inimical to effective judicial review.
Timo Strathmann untersucht in diesem Buch, inwiefern die Elektromobilität als eine "disruptive Innovation" nach der Definition von Harvard-Professor Clayton Christensen eingestuft werden kann. Dabei zeigt er, welche Herausforderungen sich durch den Aufschwung der Elektromobilität für etablierte Automobilhersteller ergeben und welche Implikationen dies insbesondere für die Geschäftsmodelle hat. Es werden einerseits die "Disruptive Innovation Theory" von Christensen anschaulich dargestellt und andererseits die auf die Automobilindustrie einwirkenden Entwicklungen untersucht. Darauf aufbauend werden spannende Geschäftsmodellideen innerhalb der Wertschöpfungskette für Elektromobile abgeleitet. Inhalt Anschauliche Darstellung der "Disruptive Innovation Theory" Analyse der Automobilindustrie und ihrer Treiber Innovative Geschäftsmodelle von Automobilherstellern im Lichte der Elektromobilität Die Zielgruppen Dozenten und Studenten der Betriebswirtschaftslehre mit den Schwerpunkten Unternehmensführung, Organisation und Innovationsmanagement Fach- und Führungskräfte in der Automobilbranche Der Autor Timo Strathmann ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl für Controlling von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Louis Velthuis an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen im Bereich der Einflüsse der Digitalisierung auf das Controlling

Public health surveillance (PHS) is at a tipping point, where the application of novel processes, technologies, and tools promise to vastly improve efficiency and effectiveness. Yet twentieth century, entrenched ideology and lack of training results in slow uptake and resistance to change. The term disruptive innovation – used to describe advances in technology and processes that change existing markets – is useful to describe the transformation of PHS. Past disruptive innovations used in PHS, such as distance learning, the smart phone, and field-based laboratory testing have outpaced older services, practices, and technologies used in the traditional classroom, governmental offices, and personal communication, respectively. Arguably, the greatest of these is the Internet – an infrastructural innovation that continues to enable exponential benefits in seemingly limitless ways. Considering the Global Health Security Agenda and facing emerging and reemerging infectious disease threats, evolving environmental and behavioral risks, and ever changing epidemiologic trends, PHS must transform. Embracing disruptive innovation in the structures and processes of PHS can be unpredictable. However, it is necessary to strengthen and unlock the potential to prevent, detect, and respond.
