  • 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.

    KERMIT USER GUIDE Seventh Edition Christine Gianone, Editor Columbia University Center for Computing Activities New York, New York 10027 May 26, 1988 Copyright (C) 1981,1988 Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Permission is granted to any individual or institution to use, copy, or redistribute this document so long as it is not sold for profit, and provided this copyright notice is retained. PREFACE Page 1 PREFACE Kermit is the name of a protocol for transferring files from one computer to another over ordinary asynchronous terminal connections. Kermit programs have been written for many different computers, and in general any two computers that have Kermit programs can exchange sequential files correctly and completely. This manual gives a brief and general overview of what Kermit is and how to use it, but consists mostly of detailed instructions for use and installation of specific Kermit programs. For a more detailed introduction to Kermit, complete with illustrations, diagrams, and tutorials, consult the book Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol, by Frank da Cruz, Digital Press, Bedford MA (1987), ISBN 0-932376-88-6, DEC order number EY-6705E-DP (phone 1-800-343-8321). The Kermit book describes Kermit in detail, from the points of view of the beginner, the user, the computer professional who must install Kermit programs or support their use, and the programmer who wishes to write new Kermit implementations. Also included are general introductions to computers, data communications, and file organization, plus a detailed troubleshooting guide, bootstrapping hints, and various appendices and tables. The latter half of the book is taken up by a complete description of the Kermit file transfer protocol, with programming examples in the C language, plus some analysis and comparisons of Kermit with other popular protocols such as Xmodem.

  • Il BASIC Nei Personal E Home Computer Dal 1975 Al 1984
    Il BASIC nei personal e home computer dal 1975 al 1984 Schede Tecniche Storia dell’Informatica a.a 2015/2016 Romano Ceccatelli - hmr.di.unipi.it/Corso 1/37 MITS Altair 8800 Il MITS Altair 8800 è stato uno tra i primi microcomputer disponibili sul mercato. È stato sviluppato e commercializzato dalla Micro Instrumentation & Telemetry Systems, Inc. (MITS), azienda con sede ad Albuquerque (Nuovo Messico, USA). Era dotato di un'interfaccia basata su interruttori (24). Agendo su di essi si può programmare in codice binario, mentre il risultato delle elaborazioni viene visualizzato tramite il lampeggio dei LED (36) posti sul pannello frontale. Esso conteneva appunto 36 LED: 16 per il bus degli indirizzi, 8 per i dati, 8 per lo stato e i restanti erano usati per visualizzare lo stato della CPU. C’erano, inoltre, una serie di interruttori per inserire gli indirizzi e i dati, oltre ad un insieme di interruttori per il controllo del sistema. Bill Gates e Paul Allen decisero di scrivere un linguaggio di programmazione per far funzionare l'Altair. Il risultato fu una versione semplificata del BASIC chiamata Altair BASIC. Poiché diverse parti elettroniche non erano ancora disponibili al momento della progettazione, e per risolvere i problemi di NOME MITS Altair 8800 dimensione della scheda madre, fu necessario inventare un apposito connettore, oggi noto come bus: questa nuova struttura di AZIENDA E LUOGO MITS DI PRODUZIONE Albuquerque Nuovo trasferimento dati divenne in seguito uno standard, chiamato S- Messico USA 100. Con questo accorgimento fu possibile spostare parte della logica dalla scheda madre su altre schede, con cui comunicava ANNO 1975 tramite il bus.
