| Sommario/riassunto: | Technology Change and the Rise of New Industries explores why new industries emerge at specific moments in time and in certain countries. Part I shows that technologies which experience ""exponential"" improvements in cost and performance have a greater chance of becoming new industries. When ""low-end"" discontinuities incur exponential improvements, they often displace the dominant technologies and become ""disruptive"" innovations. Part II explores this phenomenon and instances in which discontinuities spawn new industries because they impact higher-level systems. Part III add |
