BIG BANG DISRUPTION
Strategy in the Age of Devastating Innovation
BIG BANG DISRUPTION presents a startling new framework for understanding how cloud computing, mobile device proliferation, and digital service development now afford upstarts and competitors the potential to completely upend business models across a range of industries.
Not so long ago, people spent hundreds for a GPS unit in their car. Then, between the invention of the iPhone and Google Maps, you didn’t need one anymore. That was the instantaneous end of Tom Tom and Garvin. One day those companies were thriving, and the next they were doomed.
Like the portable GPS, Airbnb is killing the hotel industry. Spotify is crippling radio and music sellers. Smartphone apps have single-handedly killed the calculator, digital camera, and even alarm clock industries. New disruptive innovations are being produced overnight. Most industries are blindsided by their latest competition. It can happen in any industry. No business is safe.
BIG BANG DISRUPTION presents a startling new framework for understanding how tech innovations can devastate a company or industry seemingly overnight. Larry Downes and Paul Nunes offer here critical insights and strategies companies can use to protect themselves against the next big thing.
Downes and Nunes detail the five stages of big bang innovation for both entrants and incumbents. They show leaders how to foresee the next big bang disruption that might be headed their way and take action before it is too late. Downes is a consultant and author on the impact of disruptive technologies on business and policy. His previous book, Unleashing the Killer App, was one of the biggest business bestsellers of the 2000s. He is a columnist for both Forbes and CNET and writes regularly for other publications including Slate, The Wall Street Journal, The Harvard Business Review, and USA Today.
Paul Nunes is the Global Managing Director of Research at the Accenture Institute for High Performance. His research findings have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, BusinessWeek.com, Forbes.com, The Los Angeles Times, and The Chicago Tribune. He is also the co-author of Jumping the S-Curve and Mass Affluence, and the Senior Contributing Editor at Outlook, Accenture’s journal of thought leadership.
