How useful is the theory of disruptive innovation

Andrew A. King, Baljir Baatartogtokh · 2015 · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Summary. This paper critically examines Clayton Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation, which has influenced business strategy and social problem-solving. The authors argue that while disruption theory offers useful warnings, it cannot replace rigorous analysis of competition and competitive advantage. Managers should not rely on simple theories or quick analogies when making strategic decisions about innovation and organizational change.
