It is a very disrupting, disturbing world. We have to push this into more of the cross-sector cascading effects of disruptions. This becomes a critical point of any dynamics of future disruption. Technological disruption is altering all we do. This was the most disruptive space for innovation and technology to be applied.

In our last Thursday Theory Tips piece, we explored disruption as a theory of competition. In this piece, we’ll explore one of the two types of disruption: new market disruptions and, consequently, market-creating innovations (MCIs)— the specific spark that births a new market structure. What about competition?
