Disruptive innovations are like missiles launched at your business. For 20 years we’ve described missile after missile that took aim and annihilated its target: Napster, Amazon and the Apple Store devastated Tower Records and Musicland; digital photography made film practically obsolete.
And all along we’ve prescribed a single response to ensure that when the dust settles, you’ll still have a viable business: develop a disruption of your own before it’s too late to reap the rewards of participation in new, high-growth markets – as Apple did with the iPod, iTunes, the iPad and the iPhone. That prescription is, if anything, even more imperative in an increasingly volatile world.
