REFLECTION: DISRUPTIVE INNOVATIONS SPUR GROWTH
Disruptive innovation is an attempt to enter a market with the intention of either creating a new market with a product of finding a place among unsatisfied customers in an existing market. Though I have been involved in a disruptive innovation process, but the name was initially alien to me. However, as I reflect, I realized that to be effective and successful as a disruptive innovator, patience is absolutely necessary because others are also innovating as well. I also realized that a successful innovator has to consider a reduction of the price of its products in order to attract customers. After reading the article for this week, I reflected on a product I could successful disrupts and makes …show more content…

Being a disruptive innovator is not always an acceptable phenomenon from a cultural perspective; however, I have been a disruptive innovator in various ways. First and foremost, I had a job and business going for me, but in order to improve the capacity of my future, I considered that disrupting the convenience of luxury moments by going back to school to obtain a college degree would be more profitable in the long run.

It was almost like I should return to the status quo, but I relied on my instinct and decided to press forward no matter what. Disruptive innovation takes sufficient time to prove its worth and attract skeptics but at the end, disruptive innovation can either create a new market or confront an existing market. So, while hoping to continue being a disruptive innovator to my life, I can patiently wait for the growth and pursue profitability in the long

Many corporations move to the mandate of a global capitalistic economy, and over the past quarter-century, several large multi-store retailers have experienced considerable growth. Wal-Mart is one of the leading industry giants with a presence in scores of markets that virtually all other vendors cannot compete. In a 2003 New York Times article “Ideas & Trends: Discount Nation: Is Wal-Mart Good for America?” Columnist Steve Lohrdec reported that “Wal-Mart points the way to a grim Darwinian world of bankrupt competitors, low wages, inadequate health benefits, jobs lost to imports and destroyed downtowns and rural areas across America.”

Think Question #1 Sydney Martin CMN 225: Communication in Place September, 19th, 2015 Innovation is a natural part of human society, without it the human species wouldn’t be where it is today. But, in order for an innovation to make a significant impact on society the innovation must be spread throughout the many different cultures and societies on earth.

“Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into innovation” this quote by Dean Kamen explains that when there is a problem we create new technology to solve this problem, and when we create new technology we have innovation.
