Talk:Disruptive innovation/Archives/2016

2016 Update

I propose a few things to be added to the list:

• Uber & Lyft disrupting the taxi cab industry
  • AirBnB disrupting the hotel industry
• Blockchains disrupting currency?

Disruption = "Creative Destruction"

I propose adding at the beginning a section on the concept of Creative Destruction. Christenson does not add or modify this well established term to be credited with the first to observe it. (He may, however, been the one to popularize the term "Disruption" for creative destruction) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_destruction

VoIP

Why is VoIP listed as a disruptive technology that has displaced analog and fixed digital telephones? That battle is in its early phases and is nowhere near complete. I'm loathe to delete it without mentioning it here first. Comments? --Chairboy 01:36, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I'll second the motion to remove Talk over IP; that seemed strange to me at first too.

Also, how does anyone feel about adding DVD as disrupting VHS? It seems like a good everyday example. It might not the best example of the theory, though, since DVDs have pretty much always been higher quality than VHS, they just happen to also be cheaper. Digitally compressed video replacing analog video is a definite example, but then less homespun. But anyway, I'm rambleing; any thoughts?Zombiejesus 02:28, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

VoIP is a good example of a disruptive tech yet to come, like it is mentioned how open source software *may* displace proprietary software. The fight is still taking place, although it does appear VoIP will come out on top.

DVD over VHS isn't too bad of an example, although larger business forces were at work; the media conglomerates overnight anointed the DVD as VHS's successor. All things being equal, the progression should have gone from VHS to Laserdisc to DVD to online video...it goes to show, the best guy doesn't always win. - quanta, Sep 17

In my view DVD over VHS is not a disruptive technology, since it´s neither cheaper nor lower in performance than the DVD. But, whatever —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.220.4.218 (talk) 09:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
