By Tim Nierobisch

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1,0, Copenhagen Business School, language: English, abstract: This paper addresses the understanding of disruptive change by highlighting the problems that arise when incumbent firms face disruptive innovations within their markets. In order to generate a new understanding of the competition that arises through disruptive change, disruptive innovations are linked to the concept of "hypercompetition" made by Richard A. D'Aveni. This concept implies the possibility to disrupt the market by implementing a new strategic orientation called the new "7-S Framework". However this implies the necessity of reorganizing the incumbent firm. A possible approach is introduced. With this paper the author tries to identify a possible method to become disruptive for incumbent firms. The topic is "disruptive change and corporate response to it".
