1. Provide an example of a firm which has been a disruptive innovator. What role does technology play in disruptive innovation?
2. What is the greatest risk of being a disruptive innovator for an organization? How must the firm consider the actions of its rivals?
3. How might government try to limit the effects of disruptive innovation? Provide a specific example of when a technology tool was limited or disabled by a government.
You are expected to make at least three posts to the discussion forum during the course of the discussion period.
