Overview
Innovation and disruption are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings, as noted by scholars like Clayton Christensen and Tim Berners-Lee. Disruptive innovation, a term coined by Christensen, refers to a specific type of innovation that disrupts existing markets and creates new ones, as seen in the rise of companies like Apple and Google. This comparison will explore the differences between innovation and disruption, and how they relate to disruptive innovation, a concept also studied by researchers at institutions like MIT and Stanford.
