Insights into relationships between disruptive technology/innovation and emerging technology: A bibliometric perspective (2017, background): “There is a stream of literature focusing on continuing the theoretical discussion on the concepts of DT and DI (Adner, 2002; Daneels, 2004).”
Disruptive Technologies and the Emergence of Competition (2003, background): “For managers, disruptive technologies highlight the danger posed to incumbent ̄rms from too quickly dismissing new technologies as inferior and irrelevant to their market positions.(1) The question of whether or not two technologies compete has not, however, been the focus of formal economic theoriz”
Old technology responses to new technology threats: demand heterogeneity and technology retreats (2010, background): “In this regard, the superiority of one offer over another is determined by a given customer’s willingness to pay for its bundle of attributes, which in turn is determined by that customer’s preference ordering and budget constraints (e.g. Adner and Levinthal, 2001; Adner, 2002).”
Incumbent Performance in the Face of a Radical Innovation: Towards a Framework for Incumbent Challenger Dynamics (2012, background): “Also, if the innovation requires greater upstream challenges, it tends to benefit incumbents, while greater downstream challenges favours challengers, as Adner and Kapoor (2010) showed in the context of the global semiconductor lithography equipment industry.”
Antecedents and implications of disruptive innovation: Evidence from China (2015, background): “Disruptive innovation theory has long been studied in the innovation management literature (Abernathy and Clark, 1985; Adner, 2002, 2006; Calia et.al., 2007; Christensen, 2006; Christensen and Bower, 1996; Christensen and Raynor, 2003; Danneels, 2004; Govindarajan and Kopalle, 2006; Hall et. al.,…”
Incumbent Adaptation to Technological Change: The Past, Present, and Future of Research on Heterogeneous Incumbent Response (2018, positive): “Most disruptive innovations donot entail significant changes to core or complementary resources but instead generate misleading signals based on feedback from the demand side (Adner, 2002; Danneels, 2004).”
Customer preference discontinuities: a trigger for radical technological change (2008, background): “Christensen, Adner and their co-authors (Christensen and Rosenbloom, 1995; Christensen and Bower, 1996; Christensen, 1997; Adner and Levinthal, 2001; Adner, 2002) have focused on how the interplay between technological progress and the heterogeneous preferences of different customer segments can…”
Electric vehicle adoption in Sweden and the impact of local policy instruments (2018, background): “The EV market share is currently small and according to Adner (2002), emerging technologies face more barriers as it often is difficult to compete with the price and performance of existing technologies.”
Developing Theory Through Simulation Methods (2007, neutral): “Research questions may also come from the classic tradition extending formal analytic models (Adner, 2002).”
