So, what is it that is causing the latest ‘disruptive’ technology to become so popular? The answer, quite simply, is the Internet. Today’s information and communication technologies are much more powerful and accessible than ever before. In fact, many of the ‘old rules’ about how information and communication work were proved wrong. Thanks to new information and communication technologies such as the Internet, businesses are now able to expand at a rate never seen before in human history – and at a cost far less than previously thought possible.
So what is this latest ‘disruptive technology’ that is changing business?
Well, one of the most powerful and important ‘disruptive’ technologies of all time is the Internet. It is perhaps one of the best examples of a disruptive technology in action. The Internet has allowed users from around the world to interact with one another in an entirely new and unprecedented way. One example is video conferencing.
This is a technology that has literally changed the way we communicate.
Now, instead of needing a phone line just to make a business phone call or even email a client, you can use the Internet to do both of those things at the same time. In fact, the Internet offers everything a business has ever dreamed of, when it comes to communicating with customers and clients. However, as great as all of this sounds, one aspect of the Internet that can be truly disruptive to a business is its lack of a central authority. Without a central control, every businessman who wishes to participate in these new forms of commerce will need to rely on their own skill and experience.
How does one master new forms of commerce?
Simple. By engaging in some sort of disruptive experimentation, using experimental methods to test out different markets or techniques until you find the one that works. In this case, you might begin by doing something simple like marketing your product online and then move on to trying other methods.
The most common method used for this sort of research is crowdsourcing.
Crowdsourcing allows you to gather a group of people together and then allow them to share their thoughts about a particular problem. Because this sort of market research involves lots of strangers who are willing to share their ideas, you can expect this sort of new form of innovation to be a tad bit risky. However, you can also expect it to be very successful.
However, if you look at the history of disruption
You can see that it always ends up coming back around again. Sometimes new innovations are a success, and sometimes they’re a failure. Either way, the disruption has served as the foundation for many successful businesses. If you’re in a business, you should make sure that you are prepared for the next big thing, so that you don’t get left behind. Whether you are in the traditional brick-and-mortar world of business or you’re operating entirely on the Internet, being prepared is the first step toward being successful.
