I think disruptive innovation is a very useful concept, but this just goes to show how hard it is to apply a priori.
- ActVen 14y agoI actually thought about mentioning that article. I think it is important to point out that someone who outlines a theory as broad as disruptive innovation is not always the best person to apply it in every situation. I think he made a mistake when he chose the competitive frame for the iPhone to be all cell phones. I think the right competitive frame is smart phones. That makes all the difference in the assessment.
