Disruptive Innovations

Disruptive innovations are new products or technologies that significantly alter the way that an industry or market functions. These innovations often introduce a lower-cost or more convenient alternative to existing products or services, and can disrupt the existing market by making it obsolete or by creating a new market where none previously existed. The concept is associated with a process of creative destruction associated with Joseph Schumpeter.

Disruptive innovations are new products or technologies that significantly alter the way that an industry or market functions. These innovations often introduce a lower-cost or more convenient alternative to existing products or services, and can disrupt the existing market by making it obsolete or by creating a new market where none previously existed.

Some examples of disruptive innovations include:

  1. The personal computer, which disrupted the market for mainframe computers and created a new market for consumer-grade computers.
  2. The smartphone, which disrupted the market for personal computers and created a new market for mobile computing.
  3. Online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay, which disrupted the traditional retail industry by allowing consumers to purchase goods from a wide range of sellers online.
  4. Streaming video services such as Netflix and Hulu, which disrupted the traditional cable and satellite television market by offering a lower-cost and more convenient alternative for viewing movies and TV shows.
  5. Electric and self-driving vehicles, which have the potential to disrupt the traditional automotive industry and change the way that people travel.cre
