  • Towards an Improved Theory of Disruptive Innovation: Evidence from the Personal and Mobile Computing Industries
    Towards an Improved Theory of Disruptive Innovation: Evidence from the Personal and Mobile Computing Industries Juan Sebastian Montoya, Doshisha University, Japan Toshiro Kita, Doshisha University, Japan The Asian Conference on the Social Sciences 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract This research studies the concept of disruptive innovation, its patterns, and the mechanisms that cause it. By using quantitative and qualitative evidence from the personal and mobile computing industries, this research serves to corroborate Clayton Christensen's disruption theory, the main theory proposed today as an explanation of this phenomenon. It identifies the strengths and weakness of the theory, and builds upon it in order to propose an improved theory of disruption. In order to measure disruption in the personal and mobile computing industries this research collected data for 58 product lines, including personal computers and smartphones developed by companies in America, Europe, and Asia from 1974 to 2015. A correlation analysis validated the foundations of Christensen's model, however it also revealed many unexpected results such as the importance of radical innovation and architectural innovation. Further qualitative historical analysis corroborated these results. The main finding of this research was identifying three different types or phases of disruption and proposing an original categorization for them: 1) disruption by creation of a new market, 2) disruption by 'mainstreamization' of the market, and 3) disruption by commoditization of the market. This represents an improvement over the current understanding of the theory from a macro perspective. Keywords: Innovation, disruption, technology, management, design, new market, commoditization, computing, mobile iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org 1.

NEWS80S, the independent newsletter for owners of Hewlett-Packard Series 80 computers has announced that in 1983 its publishing schedule has been increased from four issues per year to six issues. “This will allow us to significantly increase our ability to provide timely and comprehensive coverage of Series 80 topics,” stated Dale Flanagan, Editor of the publication. “We plan on maintaining our coverage of HP-83 and HP-85 computers, and using the extra editorial space to expand our HP-86 and IIP-87 coverage. We will pay special attention to software reviews, Series 80 assembly language and HP Basic programming techniques. Past articles on these three topics have generated the most reader response for us. We’ll also continue to publish complete program listings for useful utility and application programs,” Flanagan added. NEWS80S started publishing in February of 1982. In May of 1982 the publication was sold to Joseki Computer Corporation, publishers of Apple, IBM and LIP personal computer software. The publication now covers approximately 10% of the known Series 80 owners in the U.S. Subscriptions to the publication are $15 for six issues ($30 for foreign subscribers). “Our per-issue price remains the same,” commented Flanagan, “but we are now supplying more issues per year.” Through its publisher, Joseki Computer Corporation, NEWS80S also sells low cost software to the Series 80 community.
