Commercialization of disruptive innovations: Literature review and proposal for a process framework

Disruptive Innovations (DI) are those generated by new technologies that have the power to change the value proposition of a market and, even though they may begin appealing only to smaller clients segments. Eventually, they go upmarket and cause “disruption” challenging the leading established organizations. We believe that Competitive Intelligence (CI) can be used as a dynamic strategy and a structured process of acquisition, analysis, and dissemination of information and of knowledge creation to help these established organizations to better anticipate, understand and respond to the challenges of disruptive innovations in their industries. Through a theoretical essay based on a thorough literature review on the themes, we evaluated if and how IC can help these organizations. The study was justified mainly by the lack of previous works relating the two constructs (CI and DI), and we focused on the perspective of the established organization (incumbent) instead of the perspective of the disruptive companies (new entrants). We believe these discussions may benefit scholars in the fields of CI and Innovation and practitioners from different industries that are being or may be challenged in the future by this kind of innovation.

Innovation Processes

This study was undertaken to investigate the premises that the success of disruptive innovation is related to the business model adopted by organizations. An analysis of five business models from the literature review - Bovet and Martha (2000), Applegate (2001), Chesbrough and Rosenbloom (2002), Osterwalder and Pigneur (2010), and Rodrigues, Maccari and Lenzi (2012) – was conducted based on the case of the Brazilian Gol Airlines who is recognized as a success business that promoted a disruptive innovation. The results suggest that the assertive choice of the business model can leverage innovation processes, and two of the models listed are adherence to the case studied. Keywords: Disruptive Innovation; Business Model; Innovation Elements; Strategy; Gol Airlines.

And Training

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.
