OVERVIEW: This assignment serves to encourage student dialogue and collaborative engagement of course material. We will dedicate a portion of each class session to review and clarify key concepts from the assigned readings and related lecture materials. Discussion posts receiving the most 'Likes' and discussion will serve to direct the focus of class discussion time. A Disruptive Innovation is one that conflicts with, and threatens to replace, traditional approaches to competing within an industry. For example, a solar camera would work as a disruptive innovation. It would disrupt the digital camera market. It would have a pretty widespread appeal as it works on solar energy and is eco-friendly. Identify an example of Disruptive Innovation that we have not discussed in class. Discuss why the innovation was successful.
