CALL FOR PAPERS
International Conference on Disruptive Innovation
[ICDDI2016]
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 24 – 25 September 2016
Organized by Malaysia University of Science and Technology
INTRODUCTION
Disruptive innovation describes a process by which a product or service completely alter the market with a new technology, eventually getting all the players in the industry either to adopt this technology or to disappear.
The theory of disruptive innovation was invented by Clayton Christensen, of Harvard Business School, in his book “The Innovator’s Dilemma”.
A disruptive innovation is an innovation that creates a new market and value network and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network, displacing established market leaders and alliances.
– Clayton M. Christensen (1995)
Christensen used the term to describe innovations that create new markets by creating new categories of customers. He does it partly by harnessing new technologies but also by developing new business models and exploiting old technologies in new ways. By contrast, sustaining innovation simply improves existing products.
The Smartphone, for example, Apple iPhone, was a disruptive innovation as it completely changed the way customers used their phones and at the same time contributed to the obsolescence of the camera market, subnotebooks and mobile phones.
The conference, “International Conference on Disruptive Innovation”, draws attention to under-examined issues, rarely heard voices and under-represented scholarly perspectives in Supply Chain Innovation and other management disciplines. While open to all of your best work, this international conference seeks to encourage symposia and paper offerings that build bridges by:
- Increasing participation from technological and management driven contributions that have played an important role in disruptive innovations.
- Interdisciplinary papers with a focus on multiple levels of analysis are eagerly sought.
- Papers and symposia that include academic scholars and industry professionals coming from diverse locations and backgrounds are particularly encouraged, as the best way to foster cross-border dialogue is to include individuals from a range of backgrounds.
As the literature of Disruptive Innovations is increasingly growing, tremendous opportunities are available for achieving strategic competitiveness through strategic innovations in all areas of Disruptive Innovations. Understanding and absorbing the innovative practices is best done through dialogue. To the extent, this conference will emphasize interactive sessions, where the audiences are expected to play an active role where presenters seek to build on each other's contributions. The conference committee fosters open dialogue and forum among and across all the areas of Disruptive Innovations.
