Compare disruptive and sustaining technologies.
What will be an ideal response?
Disruptive technology is a new way of doing things that initially does not meet the needs of existing
customers. Disruptive technologies redefine the competitive playing fields of their respective markets.
Disruptive technologies tend to open new markets and destroy old ones. Disruptive technologies typically
cut into the low end of the marketplace and eventually evolve to displace high-end competitors and their
reigning technologies. Sustaining technology produces an improved product customers are eager to buy,
such as a faster car or larger hard drive. Sustaining technologies tend to provide us with better, faster and
cheaper products in established markets. Sustaining technologies virtually never lead in markets opened
by new and disruptive technologies.
