Clayton Christensen: Disruptive innovation

In the first of his lectures for Saïd Business School, Clayton Christensen explains his theory of disruption, drawing on examples of innovations occurring in the steel industry and from leading companies such as Toyota, Sony, Walmart and Indian refrigerator manufacturer, Godrej. Christensen explores how the theory can explain why the economies of America, England and Japan have stagnated. He also uses the theory to analyse how economies in Asia have achieved prosperity and to examine why countries such as Mexico are not experiencing economic growth.

    Many others have come to the same conclusion why growth has slowed but usually they explain it away as us being more and more risk averse. The problem is that it's hard to cure risk aversion, but we can reverse false rational conclusions that lead us into a corner, that's why Christensen's explanation is so much better.

    I think what's happening in what he's saying about countries is that beyond politically drawn boundaries, there are economic boundaries around epicenters of innovation. The U.S. has treated Mexico like it's inside the same economic boundary, so they are way too connected us to look for innovation in their own midst.

    I work in broadcasting - nowhere has the small disruptive team done more to totally change the face of what is made for audiences these days. I guess both authors will do well from the attention these articles are getting. But, in my experience, only those who practice disruptive thinking survive. But the disruptive period is limited. Toyota, Sony, Walmart and Godrej are no longer the disruptors. So they have become vulnerable in the long term themselves.

    Brilliant lecture! Cherishing the investment of People and their Development is to be 'husbanded' smart & tight!!... I wonder what would be the 'Disruption' element(s) which have been keeping some regions of the world in a 'sustainable' vicious circle of 'efficient' turmoil & poverty?...Undervalued 'Domestic Economy' perhaps?? Many are benefitting with plenty of 'Capital' at 'no costs'!!...Except of course the 'Human Cost' ....which for some has 0=cost!!!...with more and more people in a growing state of deeper and deeper destitution & desperation, driven by more and more greed & unethical actions... 'Disruption' seems to be driving the 'Theory of Prosperity' for some when 'chaos' and 'stagnation' are maintained 'efficiently' for others... An ongoing 'depressing' situation leading to more 'correlative' as much as 'causal' to current 'crisis' in many regions:( Maybe a better state of 'Equilibrium' can be explored where 'disruption' does not exist and the 'Theory of Prosperity' is sustained efficiently for all through common sense, shared values, fair trade, fair barter, fair dealing... and no greed involved at all.

    One thing common between the two top growing economies (INDIA & CHINA) is CHEAP SKILLED LABOUR by the boat load. All our manufacturing went to China and IT (information technology) to India. In India it started with the CALL CENTRES where an employee worked for $15 a day where as in the states it was $8 an hour n up. Next was so called software engineers who were nothing but BUTTON PUSHERS. And this particular field still dominates in the H1 B visa war where Indian rank the highest. Why ? They are CHEAP really cheap...... this leads to a domino effect making India and China grow n states slow..... off course there is a lot more but.........

    No. The hallmark of any disruptive innovation is the creation of new markets, new customers, new users. Think Henry Ford. People who had never used nor needed a car (horse drawn carriage worked just fine) could now be incentivized to use one. Uber was disruptive because it increased the number of people who would pay for personal transport. Uber became many times more valuable than the entire taxi market combined because people who would typically not use a taxi for certain situations now started using Uber. Same for the microprocessor enabled personal computer, not just scientists, but every day people now use a computer.

    In the early days, companies had only what they called "dumb terminals" which were basically a screen/keyboard connected to the mainframe. With the raise of PC the need for dumb terminals declined and so did the need for the main frames for that use case. Agree the main frames are still being used, but not in the same way it was in the early days. I think he over simplified his statements for the sake of the lecture.

    The "dumb terminal" was only the access point for the mainframe. When PCs came around, they connected to the same mainframes--they just used a networking cable instead of a "dumb terminal". Companies didn't replace their mainframes with PCs. They bought both. If you want to claim that networking cables + PCs replaced "dumb terminals", I'll give you that. PCs replaced: Typewriters, word processing machines, personal assistants, files and file cabinets, inter-office messaging services, graphic design and layout by hand, accounting services or accounting by hand, game systems like Atari, and board games like Dungeons & Dragons....

    That isn't what Clay's "Disruptive Innovation" is about at all. He claims that PCs "disrupted" mainframes - which they did not. They are unrelated. All industries have consolidation as they mature. Look what happens to cars. At first (early 1900s) there were dozens, perhaps 100, different car manufactures in the US. How many are there now? 3 + Tesla? Look at smartphones. In the 90's and early 2000's there were many smartphone manufactures / OSs & platforms (e.g. Symbian, Windows, Treo, Blackberry, Android, iOS). How many are there now? iOS and Android. And the same will / is happening with PCs. Low end "disruptive" PCs are the first ones to kick the bucket. Just look at Dell, Hewlett Packard, Asus...
