Disruptive Tech

1. Make a list of up to 2 recent disruptive innovations. List firms that dominated the old regime and firms that capitalized after a disruption. Are any of the dominant firms from the previous era the same as those in the post-disruptive era? For those firms that failed to make the transition, why do you think they failed?

2. Why do leading firms fail to recognize and react to potentially disruptive innovations? How can a firm avoid the kind of blindness that leads to disruption?
