Apple Competitor Creating Disruptive Innovation as an Apple Competitor Apple continues to create an entirely new level of disruptive innovation in the areas of MP3, smartphone and tablet PCs by continually fueling new ecosystems of musical and video content while revolutionizing the hardware experience. The continual evolution of the iPad is today re-ordering the structure of the PC market and with it, enterprise computing (Apple Investor Relations, 2012). Just as the

It was then not the device, but the ability to selectively customize the device for a given consumers' tastes and preferences in music that mattered. The iTunes ecosystem, now responsible either directly or indirectly for nearly one out of every four dollars Apple makes, was the most powerful catalyst of disruptive innovation the tech industry has ever seen (Tariq, Ishrat, Khan, 2011). Disruptive innovation was created in the initial

Xerox How did disruptive innovations in the industry affect Xerox? Did it adjust; and if so, how? Discuss possible sources of innovation for Xerox Capitalism, in general is often referred to as a "Profit System." However, a more accurate term would be that of a "Profit and Loss System." Consequently, due primarily to this loss component, innovations arise. Disruptive innovations occur when an unusual industry occurrence disrupts traditional thought process. The prevailing

Mobile Computing: A Disruptive Innovation Whose Time Has Come The pervasive adoption of mobile computing devices, combined with cloud computing and the quantum gains in application software are creating a globally diverse collaborative platform. These elements taken together are deliver an exceptionally fast and pervasive level of disruptive innovation across all sociocultural and technology sectors (Bernoff, Li, 2008). The impact of this disruptive innovation is so significant that IT departments have

Innovation In a single day, the average person comes into contact with a range of services, products, and processes that can be categorized as forms of innovation. Furthermore, most of these innovations will differ in degree, some being radical innovations and others being merely incremental; some sustaining, others breakout, and still others viewed as disruptive innovations. This paper will analyze the different examples of innovation with which I come into contact

Over time the disruptive innovator can control the majority of a given market. Clayton Christensen shows this through a series of extensively researched examples throughout the book. In reality the disruptive innovator will be most successful attacking the low-end of any market where the switching costs of technologies are lowest and the costs of change as perceived by customers is the lowest. At its most systemic level, this is
