Disruptive innovation has been described in the literature as a force that sweeps aside existing technology and business models. This paper presents a case study that aims to understand the disruptive nature of digital innovation. It questions how and why digital innovation comes to have (or not) a disruptive effect. It describes a case study of App and mobile innovation and offer preliminary f...

C hristensen’s (1997) original theory focused on disruptive technologies. Over time, the same theory has been used to explain all kinds of disruptive innovations. This is a mistake. Different kinds of innovations have different competitive effects and produce different kinds of markets. They should be treated as distinct phenomena. This article summarizes what the academic literature has to say...

While usually been considered by established businesses as an attack, disruptive innovation provide an appropriate innovation approach for SMEs through new market discovery. This article tries to explore the opportunities offered by disruptive technlology and how SMEs could benefit from diruptive innovation. The process and features of diruptive innovaion and a managrial framework for diruptive...

I develop a dynamic innovation model with three important features: (a) asymmetry between large and small firms (“giants” and “midgets”); (b) technology transfer by acquisition; and (c) the distinction between gradual innovation (i.e., within a certain “paradigm”) and disruptive innovation (i.e., that which induces a new paradigm). I provide conditions such that (a) greater asymmetry between gi...

A disruptive innovation creates a new market and eventually disrupts an existing market. Few IS research has systemically studied disruptive innovation diffusion, and little is known regarding how disruptive innovations change the business model and what challenges companies are facing during the process. To fill the research gap, we aim to propose a framework to understand challenges disruptiv...
