Abstract

The nature of disruptive innovation, first studied by Joseph Schumpeter, has changed dramatically in the wake of rapidly and predictably deflating costs for embedded digital technology. New disruptors now enter the marker both better and cheaper than existing products. The result is devastating transformation of incumbent industries and markets, or what we call "Big Bang Disruption."

Keywords: disruptive innovation, industrial organization, technological change
