The evolution of the disruptive ecosystem: a framework integrating disruption, ecosystems, and business models

Abstract

PurposeThis article aims to understand the dynamics between disruptive innovations and innovation ecosystems, using disruption business models as a catalyst.Design/methodology/approachThis study presents an integrative literature review and a theoretical framework in order to integrate the theories of disruptions and ecosystems.FindingsThe dynamics of disruptive innovation, within an ecosystem, as an essential driver of creating new markets. The effect of creative destruction from a disruption influences business models in a coopetitive dynamic that drives the ecosystem as a whole.Research limitations/implicationsLimited to theoretical research and suggested the application of the proposed model in an empirical study.Practical implicationsUnderstand the formation of new ecosystems based on the occurrence of a disruption as a way for organisations to prepare for the arrival of this new market.Originality/valueThe contribution of this study is based on joining the literature of disruptive innovation and innovation ecosystem, pointing to a theoretical framework and a flow of Evolution and Adaptation to the Disruptive Ecosystem that integrates this complex dynamic.

The effects of technological leapfrogging in transportation technologies in BRICS and G7 countries

“…Depending on technological conditions, user acceptance and legislation, costs could be lowered, leading to demand growth (Booz Allen Hamilton, 2018; Silva et al , 2022). To endorse A4 , the results corroborate with the literature where the potentially disruptive innovation technologies such as EVs, AVs and eVTOLs can introduce new transport possibilities (Cohen et al , 2021; Skeete, 2018), triggering a great change in the automotive industry and the transportation mobility market (Skeete, 2018), leading to a growth in the sector (Christensen et al , 2001; Silva and Grützmann, 2022).…”

“…Silva and Grützmann (2022) pointed out that new technologies can change countries’ value chains, requiring national regulations, infrastructure and complementary technologies and platforms. In this perspective, our results show that countries replacing technologies could leap forward, achieving transport, economic, CO 2 reduction and social benefits.…”

“…By investing in technology, developing countries can avoid expensive infrastructure and leapfrog into newer technologies to promote further economic development. Thus, a disruptive innovation changes technology standards (Christensen et al , 2001; Silva and Grützmann, 2022), enabling emerging nations to reach developed countries and making the former globally competitive (Wang and Zheng, 2022).…”

“…In the case of new transport technologies, electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous vehicles (AVs) and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOLs) are technologies that can cause a profound change in the market. Such potentially disruptive technologies deserve attention as an opportunity to revolutionise the transportation ecosystem (Dedehayir et al , 2018; Palmié et al , 2019; Silva and Grützmann, 2022). Despite the topic’s importance to the economy, society and the government, the deeper impacts of disruptive innovations on the transport mobility market still need to be better investigated.…”

Start-Up’s Road to Disruptive Innovation in the Digital Era: The Interplay Between Dynamic Capabilities and Business Model Innovation

“…In particular, dynamic capabilities are considered one of the promising theoretical foundations for understanding the firm’s digital entrepreneurship in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous business world ( Vial, 2019 ). In addition, business model innovation involving the change of value architecture is regarded as the primary means to achieve disruptive innovation ( Silva and Grützmann, 2022 ) and digital transformation ( Vaska et al, 2021 ). Previous studies have discussed them separately without considering their interactions.…”
