Disruptive Innovation for inclusive renewable policy in sub saharan africa a social shaping of technology analysis of appliance uptake in rwanda
Renewable Energy, 2021Co-Authors: Olivia Muza, Ramit DebnathAbstract:Abstract Rural off-grid renewable energy solutions often fail due to uncertainties in household energy demand, insufficient community engagement, inappropriate financial models and policy inconsistency. Social shaping of technology (SST) of household appliances provides a critical lens of understanding the involved socio-technical drivers behind these constraints. This study employs an SST lens to investigate appliance uptake drivers in 14,580 households in Rwanda, such that these drivers can aid in policy design for green growth at the grassroots level. The methodology includes an epistemological review of non-income drivers of appliance uptake. Empirical analysis using a binary logistic regression, based on which Disruptive Innovation pathways were derived for fostering green growth. Results showed that appliance uptake was highly gendered and skewed across the Ubudehe (social welfare) categories. ICT-devices like mobile phones and radios had a higher likelihood of ownership than welfare appliances like refrigerator and laundry machines. Fans and cookers also demonstrated a greater probability of ownership. Disruptive Innovation pathways were derived from leveraging the ICT-driven wave of appliance ownership, creation of service sectors through off-grid renewable solutions and promoting cleaner fuel-switching of cooking energy at the household level. Further policy implications were drawn to support the creation of consumption identities for green growth.

is point of care ultrasound Disruptive Innovation formulating why pocus is different from conventional comprehensive ultrasound
Critical Ultrasound Journal, 2018Co-Authors: Jesper Weile, Jacob Brix, Anders MoellekaerAbstract:Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is spreading throughout Emergency Medicine, Critical Care and Pre-hospital Care. However, there is an underlying inherited conflict with the established specialties performing comprehensive examinations. It has been stated that PoCUS is Disruptive Innovation. If this is true the definition might open up for a new perspective on differentiating comprehensive ultrasound from PoCUS. PoCUS in the light of Disruptive Innovation is a different perspective on ultrasound that has not before been academically scrutinized. In this paper we investigate if PoCUS is in fact Disruptive Innovation. This is done by comparative analysis with the point of departure in Disruptive Innovation theory known from the business world. We find that a Disruptive Innovation process is happening. This new knowledge allows us to put forward advice for the stakeholders in the field of ultrasound. It also allows us to challenge the conventional pyramid of expertise used to describe different types of ultrasound. The perspective of this paper is mutual understanding of similarities and differences between conventional and point-of-care ultrasound. Only with this understanding the stakeholders can collaborate and use the full spectrum of ultrasound for the benefit of the patient.

critical perspectives on Disruptive Innovation and energy transformation
Energy research and social science, 2017Co-Authors: Charles B Wilson, David TyfieldAbstract:What are ‘disruption’ and ‘Disruptive Innovation’? And what relevance do they have for energy transformation? Ten critical perspectives offer ten contrasting responses to these questions. The relevance of Christensen’s canonical definition of Disruptive Innovation is highly contested in its applicability to energy and climate challenges, as is the usefulness of analysing discrete business models or technologies rather than socio-technical systems. Further research on Disruptive Innovation and energy transformation needs to tackle: (i) the social, systemic and emissions impact of widespread adoption; (ii) how to mitigate the adverse distributional consequences of disruption; (iii) the consumer appeal of ‘good enough’ products for users marginalised or excluded from mainstream markets; (iv) the role of incumbents in system transformation; and (v) the reasons for geographic variation in disruption processes currently underway.

innovating Innovation Disruptive Innovation in china and the low carbon transition of capitalism
Energy research and social science, 2017Co-Authors: David TyfieldAbstract:Abstract Disruptive Innovation offers significant promise regarding expedited global low-carbon transition, set against currently inadequate efforts. In order to appreciate its significance, however, Disruptive low-carbon Innovation must be analysed in the light of three key shifts in perspective: to an analysis of system transition and low-carbon Innovation itself in terms of power/knowledge; to appraisal of the significance of digital Innovation (similarly reconceptualised) and its embryonic convergence with Disruptive Innovation; and to a geographical focus on Innovation happening not (just) in locations usually presumed as leading in hi-tech, but to developing countries and especially China. Indeed, exploring Disruptive Innovation in this way shows that assenting to the commonplace discourse through which Silicon Valley Tech Innovation is identified as ‘Disruptive’ is to conflate problem with solution. Conversely, this approach shows just how significant Disruptive Innovation is likely to prove to low-carbon transition, effecting a disruption of Innovation itself, and thence of capitalism, from which any such transition must ultimately emerge.

Disruptive Innovation an intellectual history and directions for future research
Journal of Management Studies, 2018Co-Authors: Clayton M Christensen, Rory Mcdonald, Elizabeth J Altman, Jonathan PalmerAbstract:The concept of Disruptive Innovation has gained considerable currency among practitioners despite widespread misunderstanding of its core principles. Similarly, foundational research on disruption has elicited frequent citation and vibrant debate in academic circles, but subsequent empirical research has rarely engaged with its key theoretical arguments. This inconsistent reception warrants a thoughtful evaluation of research on Disruptive Innovation within management and strategy. We trace the theory’s intellectual history, noting how its core principles have been clarified by anomaly‐seeking research. We also trace the theory’s evolution from a technology‐change framework—essentially descriptive and relatively limited in scope—to a more broadly explanatory causal theory of Innovation and competitive response. This assessment reveals that our understanding of the phenomenon of disruption has changed as the theory has developed. To reinvigorate academic interest in Disruptive Innovation, we propose several underexplored topics—response strategies, performance trajectories, and Innovation metrics—to guide future research.

Disruptive Innovation in health care delivery a framework for business model Innovation
Health Affairs, 2008Co-Authors: Jason Hwang, Clayton M ChristensenAbstract:Disruptive Innovation has brought affordability and convenience to customers in a variety of industries. However, health care remains expensive and inaccessible to many because of the lack of business-model Innovation. This paper explains the theory of Disruptive Innovation and describes how Disruptive technologies must be matched with innovative business models. The authors present a framework for categorizing and developing business models in health care, followed by a discussion of some of the reasons why Disruptive Innovation in health care delivery has been slow.
